SEO Pricing Guide

Aug 17th, 20102 Comments

SEO is a valuable part of many businesses now-a-days and can drastically alter the amount of product sales and revenue each month. For example, a website with absolutely no search engine optimisation done on it will not be noticed by any potential customers and therefore, will never make any real sales. A website with a planned SEO program done every month will be boosted up on Google’s rankings and the higher the page rank, the more likely your website is to be noticed by those that you are wanting desperately to notice it. Online forums can be a great place for you to obtain an SEO pricing guide for your products and therefore fully understand what prices you should be paying for each individual service you plan on having done for your website.

An example of a service provided by many in the internet marketing and search engine optimisation business is that of article writing and press release writing. This, you will find, can be done extremely cheaply with a lot of Indian, Pakistani and Philippine native writers whereas UK and US writers will charge a little more. However, you need to think carefully about which method is the best one for you. Yes, you may save a good amount of money long term when using an Indian native writer, however the quality of your articles or press releases may suffer slightly as these people do not have English as their native tongue. As widely broadcast as pricing for these services are, there are still those people that will try to convince you to pay more than the actual service is worth. This is why it is imperative that you do a substantial amount of research into these things before hiring anyone to do this work for you.

The Mythical Google Ranking Tool

Jul 23rd, 20104 Comments

There is some evidence to suggest that software can bring you good rankings on Google, but there truly is no such thing as a Google ranking tool that will do everything you need at the touch of a button. There are so many variables in SEO that it would require direct access to Google’s algorithm for many months to build software that would act in harmony with its requirements – but then would fall on its face when the random aspects were taken into consideration. Google have made billions by being the most mysterious search engine we have ever seen, and their secret algorithm is infamous for throwing a curve ball at a seemingly perfectly optimized site.

You are easily able to rank a site over time, but some people do not have the patience, or the budget, and want to be ranked within a week for a one word keyword. There are lots of backdoor ways to get great rankings, and many of them are taken into consideration with a Google ranking tool that helps you add the right meta description tags, or the right meta keywords. WordPress could be considered a Google ranking tool in itself, because there are fantastic plugins now available for this versatile blog platform which will not only feed the search engines with the information it needs to rank you – but it will pretty much operate itself on a daily basis with automatic content being syndicated in from other sites, and synonyms being used to make it unique content.

If you have spent hundreds on software that promises you anything other than practical solutions to ranking on the search engines, then you have wasted your money. There is no one click solution – at least not yet – and anybody who is selling software that claims otherwise should be getting a healthy amount of refund request from unhappy clients. Google is almost like rolling a dice sometimes – even with easy to compete keywords.
