Sorry I meant position 3

Lol, I may have to nudge that one down the rankings a bit

The companies that aim for page one for such generic terms have little clue about keyword research.

Search terms that could have higher conversion rates (more value) such as "hire a seo consultant" or "seo packages" would be much more rewarding compared to the amount of work that would have to be put in to achieve it

Ok, thanks for explaining.

Out of interest, why didn't you think it was worth getting your BeerHat.co.uk onto the first few pages of G UK for [beer hat] ?

I've not checked [hire a beer hat] or [beer hat packaging] though....

WigWam, the website's all very personalised and centred on you being an individual 'seo consultant' (rather than an 'seo company'). For that to work, I think you need to be more specific about who you are (e.g. don't keep things ambiguous and overly generic).

Currently it's a very odd combination of an individual's website wrote as if it is a company. At the very minimum I would expect to see the name of the 'seo consultant' on the website.

Never tried to rank that one tbh, it was more of a test site. It would only take a few hours work and it would be p1.

[buy a beer hat] & [buy a beer hat] would have been more relevant for converting traffic to that site

I'll have the deal of the month for a quid.

I am very curious about something (and these are genuine questions)

http://www.seogenius.co.uk/services/

You are charging £55 per hour for on-site seo and £37 per hour for off-site seo

1. Why the price difference ?
2. Why don't you offer real one way link building solutions from real websites ?

thanks

My guess is to cover the cost of the travel time & fuel costs needed to get "on-site"

1. Offsite seo is slightly easier to a degree & it needs to stay competitive, but it is vital to get a good foundation in place (onsite seo) before hand.
2. Are you on about link sales? if not press releases distributed to relevant websites / news agencies should take care of that

Cheers

[domainseller200]

Also 2 other questions

1. "I have been in the seo industry for just over five years now and am regarded as one of the leading seo consultants in the UK" - who regards you as one of the leading seo consultants in the UK ?

2. Have you got any examples of your work ? ie front page rankings in competitive industries ?

Thanks

Hahaha, love it.

Thanks for your replies

1. Actually onpage seo is easier as it is usually static, and requires no updating - offpage seo is continual and alot more work overall

2. So are you saying that you are able to rank for keywords in competitive industries, by only using press releases and news agencies ?

thanks

Having explored some backlink profiles of websites in competitive niches recently, there are some very clever links which can be obtained to gain an advantage over others (none of which are mentioned on your website).

1. I am very respected within the corporate seo community (I havn't made a 'name' for myself in the freelance market yet).

2. I am developing two sites at the moment for demonstration purposes (one being the cheap treadmills site). Unfortunately NDA's prevent me from mentioning some of the sites I used to work on (very common within the seo industry - in fact I do them as standard).

Methods such as link baiting and viral content creation (which I assume you are talking about) are a great way of getting links creatively for a site.

1. Oh right, I didn't realise there was an actual corporate SEO community and this was different to the freelance one.

2. I totally understand NDA's as when I was doing corporate SEO for big clients link it was important. However this only referred to the actual keywords and specifics - maybe you could just name some corporate clients you worked with to give people confidence to use your services ?

I do hope you are joking. There are only 6/10 sites using the term 'cheap treadmills' in the title on the first page, you're even using an exact match domain. It would be hard not to rank for that phrase.
