To get our site ranked on front pages,is it better to let a company do it,or buy a software like IBP.We know clients love the software when we sell it to them,and there is a market for it.But we want Desk Quote Professional to be ranked front page or 2nd page when people put in CRM software,data handling software etc.Our web can be found at http://www.deskquote.co.uk | |

It depends on your knowledge with regard to SEO and how much time you have to do it. | |

Its not too hard to learn the basics of seo which will help, but if you are looking to seriously increase your rankings then i would reccomend hiring an seo expert for about £500 who should be able to get you a decent page rank and on the first few pages of google

I`m not sure it`s as easy as that, I think it is a long , ongoing process, better to do it inhouse, set aside so many minutes a day. | |

It certainly is an ongoing process, and from what I understand you should not get discouraged if your site ranks very poorly for around the first six months it is in existence... some of the search engines take a while to assess the "true" worthiness of a new site so it might be slightly depressed from where it will ultimately end up at first.

May be better to focus on one or two long tail keywords similar to 'small business crm software' as there lack of competion will propel you to the top of search engines. | |

I have just put your domain name into my Link Pop Checker and I see like us that Google do not list you at all, mind you being a UK site that does not supprise me as most UK sites struggle on Google. | |

I would highly suggest to do the SEO in house, if you do go with a SEO company, make sure you choose very carefully, 80% or so do not tend to produce decent results. | |

Tim is definitely right. Before you buy from those that call themself Pros, try to study/research on there website first. I prefer to do my SEO optimisation by myself (No SEO software used) and my website http://www.uncommondeal.com is ranked (google page 1) well in most of its keywords. You can do this too.

Getting ranked #1 for "your" keywords is quite simple, the very most important things is finding keywords with not a lot of competition, if you are the only person with the keywords "sport hamster racer" you will be ranked #1, however if you wish to be ranked for more competitive keywords such as just "sport racer" you will have to insert the keywords often in your meta tags as well as your title and on page content, you can not just say "sport racer, sport racer, sport racer" or goggle will flag you as a spammer, you really need to do something more like. "Discount sport racers, sporty racers, racers that are sporty, sporty racers to buy online, sport racers online, etc etc etc" | |

SEO is an ongoing process and should be something you think about on a weekly basis. There are some good SEO people out there (and some awful ones too) My advice would be only use them if they will explain and show you evidence of the work they have done on your behalf. Simply buying software like IBP is#nt a magic bullet. You need to work on media distribution, back links and keyword ranking on a regular and ongoing basis to rank highly.

As mentioned by localweb above, a very important point is that it is something that you should do ONGOING. | |

Yes, SEO is not a set of actions - do it and lean back on the sofa. It's a never ending process of doing things to improve your site's visibility and search positioning.

Yep, SEO is an ongoing process. Google looks at lots of factors including rate of new links, freshness of content etc, so if you want rankings you will need to work for them over time...

There is so much advice out there with regard to SEO. Be sure to read as much as you can and then look for the common points that every article raise: those are the ones that probably contain the most truth and are worth concentrating on. Some things are much more important than others but many articles don't discriminate between essentials and nice-to-haves.

Hi, new here with a fairly new website www.organicarganoil.org.uk ). Luckily, the product we sell (organic Argan Oil) hasn't got a huge amount of competitors so it's quite high in rankings for various closely related search terms. However, I'd like to give it a boost for less closely related search terms (ie. ones that don't use the words 'argan oil' in them). Any tips or ideas? Please visit the site and get in touch with your comments. I'll be having a meeting on Thursday evening with an expert on website improvments and will report back with any useful tips. Bye!

Seo is not so hard but yes, it's a long process and you either pay for it with money or time. | |
