I agree that it might seem that there is a lot more work to ranking your sites than it should be, even if it is not you doing the work.
Part of the "art" of doing SEO is understanding that the hardest part is the research and prep it takes to put together a functional campaign, and then finding the right people to do the work on it.
My eyes are red and my urine is orange from drinking energy drinks and going on a 48hr research binge trying to put together a team of SEO and content providers to begin offering standard packages for clients,
let alone to formulate anything custom for individual needs. 48 hours of researching threads on only this forum, reading every single word in the threads,
sending out friend requests to those that I hoped would be responsive and responsible, and creating a spreadsheet of product and contact information
so that I can move onto the next step of contacting them with some questions.
I read the replies to try and gauge thier views of thier own clients, response times, attitudes, attention to detail, ability to deliver, and communication skills.
While you may simply be dissapointed with your ranking ability, I have found that these other factors play a major role in finding those providers that care
enough about thier product reputation to follow through. None of them give a shit about your or my website, get that straight from the get go and you will be ahead of the game.
I am not trying to sound jaded, but having this mindset can same you a lot of heartache. You have to find the ones that care about thier own businesses.
Those who do not care about thier own reputation can simply whip up a screenshot of "anything" you want to see and throw an order form in front of you.
This is BHW after all. Do not get me wrong, there are a lot of good providers here, but they are not charities, and it is the responsibility of the website
campaign manager to collect and utilize the right resources for the outcome they or thier client desires.
I have no doubt that you may have seen a fall in rankings due to using the wrong provider, perhaps in the wrong fashion, or simply sub par providers.
There is no way for me to tell, so do not think that I am trying to "call your bluff" or anything of the sort. SEO is a tough game, and the ability to find
quality ranking schemes and services IS getting harder and harder, for all of us. If I might offer a simple suggestion that might help you out.
Many people are finding it harder to get traffic, especially with constant ranking algorythm changes and linking programs being outed.
What a lot of people have been doing in an effort to sidestep these realities is changing thier focus to CTR optimization a lot more than they have done in the past,
so that they can maximize the traffic that they do get more effectively. With more and more traffic coming from social media,
as well as social medias higher engagement over Search engine traffic, optimizing your content and real estate based on CTR and engagement
will not only make your traffic more effective, but also help your social signaling, which in turn will help you in the SERPS.
Maybe a good A-B testing services, Some gripping imagery, or some higher quality content with a focus on human relational copywriting for sales and CTR
might be a better buck spent than another Link blast. I do not have all of the answers, especially with my lack of knowledge of your situation,
but what you are feeling is something that I think every SEoer has felt sometime in thier career.
I am sorry that you happen to be experiencing it after BHW purchases, but I truly feel that it is not a specifically BHW problem,
and I hope you stick around. I hope that I have been helpful in some way.
