A good SEO website?

[twells22]

If you were going to pay a website to help your SEO who would you go with. I need one for a customer, they don't want ads like google adwords they want their site to have a high PR. They want to pay one site to handle it all for multiple Search engines. Their keywords will be like west virginia sign shop, so it shouldn't cost a whole lot.

You can post a request in the Sales and advertising here in the namepros.com itself. And many SEO's will offer their services to you.

For the SEO sites I don't know much.

But from what I have heard for many sites providing the seo services.

Only one person or a group of persons own that SEO sites. They get many projects as they are on nice position in the search engines.

They all only have 2 hands and 24 hours per day.

They charge people and then just outsource the work to the others.

Your SEO is done.

When you go with the SEO service provider in the forums and other places you get to know the person and can discuss the details. See his past work, his reputation and then base your judgement on it.

If you want to post a job offer then please post it here. http://www.namepros.com/for-sale-advertising-board/

Thanks.

If you're buying SEO services, then it would help to know a little about what you're paying for so that you can define the project clearly. If you don't, then you can get burned.

A few things worth considering:

(1) What level of risk are you willing to take with your site? Are there any methods that you don't want used (e.g. backlinks from specified sources, hidden text, doorway pages, ghost pages, cloaking)? Are you buying white-, grey-, or black-hat SEO?
(2) What level of control are you willing to give to the SEO? Will they be allowed to re-write page titles, internal anchor text, and even the main content on your site? Or are they expected to tweak things behind the scenes as far as possible?
(3) What counts as success? Are you trying to achieve high PR, or (more likely) top-x position in the SERPs for specified keywords? If the latter, what is the target position and for what keywords? Under what circumstances will the SEO be deemed to have failed?
(4) What's your time-scale for achieving this? (This will need to be negotiated with the SEO.)
(5) Are you hiring for a one-off optimisation, or are you willing to pay an ongoing fee for monthly monitoring and maintenance?

If you're show examples of successful optimisation, then look for sites that have been established at the top of the SERPs over a period of time, not just for one day in 2002.

Like Akrasia said it would be best to have a sit down and talk things through on what they expect, as i see from your post they want a high PR for their site which is nice but people/businesses want good SERPs (Search Engine Result Position) for the keywords they are after.

So that they receive traffic for these positions but a high PR is not going to give you automatically traffic/visitors.
Also depending on the keywords/phrases you are after you may be able to tackle this yourself?

I have a feeling that going for the SEO businesses that by the way charge quite a sum of money will be overdoing it, you'll be paying much money then you should or could have.

Ask them exactly what they want, what they expect.
If they say, we want a high PR because we want more visitors tell them that a high PR is not going to bring you traffic from the SE and the keywords they are after.

Then you can ask them what keywords they want to be found for when people are doing a Google search and are looking for related to what they have to offer.

If they start with...ehmm...well this keyword....ehmmm

Tell them to stop there and make up a list and carefully think it through so you have something you can actually work with.

If the keywords aren't that competitive which is why you need to know what they exactly want to target then you can decide if they should go to a professional SEO firm which costs them a substantial amount of money.

So come up with a list of keywords then go from there

Yes I do provide the services but I don't like to market myself now.

I am already over loaded with work. And would not like to scrape some money and then shoot the work to someone else who would not do proper job.

The client will think I am a low quality money leecher. Which I don't want to make myself.

Moreover this section itself doesn't allows any advertising of services. So even If I was interested in providing my services I would not have posted it here. :D

That is quite a nice list.

Similar to waht Damion said, YOU should ask as many questions as your client to avoid most chances of misunderstanding because no doubt that they will be expecting a lot.

Telling in advance what can, and cannot, be done is simply crucial.

Friend of mine is really one of the leaders in SEO, and on his site has some great guidelines and articles too, good read IMO:

http://www.grantasticdesigns.com/seo.html

Best of luck!

P.S. A note on the bottom of that page:
A NOTE ABOUT GUARANTEES:
Despite what other search engine marketing companies claim, no one can guarantee top search engine placement because there is a 3rd party who has all of the control: the search engines. What we can guarantee is that we will assist you with keyword selection, keyword placement, and optimal HTML coding to help make your site more search-engine friendly for the current search engine algorithms.

Grantastic Designs has never spammed any search engine or directory and does not utilize any online marketing method that the search engines would consider unethical.

Hope this helps!

SEO service are quite expensive nowdays. Make shor surway and make sure how that request is popular. Also try to search for freelancers. Their prices must be less expensive.

You'll be seeing a lot of SEO's lurking around but make sure the SEO you choose for your site is a thorough professional in the field because a SEO job done by a pro and an so called SEO matters in terms of a sites positive status.
