BANG for the Buck

Once you have a website up and running, the next thing you need is visitors. What those visitors find when they arrive (their “online experience”), helps determine your ability to convert curious visitors into motivated buyers.
First thing’s first though. Until folks view your site, you can’t convey your message to them. So an entire industry of “experts” sprung up around SEO—or Search Engine Optimization.  However, watch out for these signs:
1.    Be cautious of firms charging exorbitant fees for such services – especially if their own site doesn’t rank well! Contact several of their clients and test the search results for yourselves.
2.    Shy away from those who promise or guarantee high rankings, unless you are also paying to bid on specific keywords within certain search engines.
3.    Don’t sign-up for services that “automatically submit your site to over 300,000 search engines and directories”, or subscribe to “link-farms”. There are not that many real engines or directories, and associations with link-farms can get your site penalized.
Our motto? Why pay more than you have to? We’ve successfully concentrated on the keys that enable engines to generate valid and relevant search results. In turn, they reward us with high rankings. Most SEO clients want to focus on  and the percentages below explain why:
