Also as an update that evening client. I snagged him with a yearly hosting plan plus a small development cost due to being my first client in Canada/my city. So today wasn't that unrewarding.

This post is to prepare anyone thinking about jumping into the local business seo/web design market: First off I'm horrific at cold calling and I've only done it a few times in my life so I said F that to that way of talking to people and figured if I walk into the store I could talk to them...

See that was what I was thinking. The people I'll be targeting tomorrow morning will be the local restaurants and locally owned shops. They have no idea what cpanel is. Nor databases, or ftp on that matter. So I was planning on charging a low ish (few hundred) price for a website that I would...

I was looking at all the threads here talking about local niche/directory listings and when your selling a client a website and say hosting a lot of people mention using reseller accounts for hosting. Why not just buy a hosting plan that allows for as many sites/databases and then just host...

Think about this, supposedly 20% of the States will be on G+ at the end of the year. All signed into their gaccount. Then there's gmail, all signed in. Adwords/adsense accounts, all signed in. Youtube accounts, all signed in. This could be a serious issue.

Ah hell well that makes sense, you shoulda said that from the beginning. That's what local search is about. Yeah, get backlinks from co.uk sites. Look for other British bloggers and all that.

Well at least I know why the numbers are lower in MS. Those numbers in MS are 42% of the total because it shows the traffic you'd be getting if you were number 1 on google (as only 40% of the people click on the first link). But I'm sorry I can't figure it out. You've seem to have done all the...

Sorry I'm unfamiliar with MS. Can you go directly to the google adwords keyword tool and run that search term (w/ English, exact, local) there and tell us the numbers you get? I have a sneaking suspicion that that SEOT is a global broad setting, and after searching around a bit it seems that a...

Sorry but where is the traffic numbers? Is it the 40K? Are you sure your setting it to the right parameters? (Local, exact, english...)

Well son, first off read the stickies here on the forums and at WF and DP for a basic understanding of SEO. Read all the newbies start here and all that SEO stuff. I'll tell you off the bat, if you want to be whitehat and do it the old fashioned way it's gonna be a long haul unless you get lucky...

You can run it through archive dt (Oh R G) and see what used to be on the site and if it looks like it was a splog or some other junk, then be wary. Doesn't mean it was penalized or anything but it's still good to check a sites previous life.

People there are plenty of services for this already in the States. ABC news ran a report a month back about someone who was arrested after writing peoples exams for them! You think no one is writing those assignments? There's a huge market for students and good writers for cheap. None of this...

In response to the 2 people above me, I completly disagree with both statements. 1st poster: Take the example of Mikerowesoft not Microsoft, good intentions doesn't mean they wont go after you, hell even if your name is similar to the company they'll go for you. To the second poster, just...

You could try offshore hosting/domain options. Set up a new account out of the USA and transfer your domain there. Then change all your whois hehe, but it's prolly too late for that. Companies are getting more aggressive targeting people using trademarked names, and they are winning those...

Depending on the amount of backlinks (say less than 1000), run your site in through site explorer at yahoo and see where the backlinks are coming from. Also note that 2 days ago it seems like Panda 2.6 came out and a lot of us got hit hard from the update, lost a lot of positions myself but I've...

I also returned to my previous rankings a day after the update. No other major changes over the websites. One news site was obliterated from it's main keywords and didn't recover, rest it's soul.

Just wanted to add one more thing. Check your page to make sure you don't have two instances of google analytics code. I was searching this up the other day and noticed that a lot of people with very very low bounce rates actually had two analytics codes simultaneously being updated with each...

My news site got hit by hard. Traffic down 60%. My case study site, lost 3 of the biggest keywords it was going for. Weird cause it was ranking in the 300's and yet google still decided they weren't good enough for the top 1000. Each article brand new with maybe 1 or 2 links and a social link...

As far as I understand, backlinks to pictures are treated the same as backlinks to pages. So if you were to shoot some 800 bl to the picture, it'd be ranked higher than other photos in the google image search. The more interesting question, is what if you shoot 800 bl to the page, what happens...

Look at those BLD, if you can match them then maybe you have a chance. But that's some serious BL power there. Secondly look at that PR, 7,5 6, 5, 5, 4.... Good luck breaking through that. Pass.
