We are off and blogging!
I have a 15-16 page free seo help file that I send to people all around the world who want help in determining why their website has no good search engine rankings and who want to know what to do to fix their problem(s).
There are lots of folks who can and do design web pages and websites. This is pretty easy to do and there are many ways to get online: simple wysiwyg do it yourself with FrontPage or DreamWeaver, content management web hosting or web design programs, free hosting services where you can do it yourself, etc.
And, there are lots of folks who do professional web design who make pretty pages and have all sorts of propeller head bells and whistles on the bleeding edge of functionality.
There are NOT a lot of folks who do small websites that work well with organic search. Frames, Flash, intensive graphic content without text, etc. are all death for organic search, especially with Google.
Most web designers apparently do not read Google's Webmaster Guidelines and do not make any attempt to meet the structural requirements in their designs that Google says they like to see in a website.
This blog is an attempt to share the issues and questions of good folks who visit my website and ask for help. I do this for free because it is a way for me to attract prospective clients. And, I do it for free because I use my information that I provide as a means of affiliate marketing - I say this right up front, nothing hidden about this.
I also do this for free because I can and I want to - for every hundred folks who say they are a SEO consultant or provider, there may be 5 or 10 who know their stuff and who have been to John Alexander and Robin Nobles' http://www.searchengineworkshops.com/ training. Some are honest wannabes or, on the dark side of the unregulated uncertified SEO world, they are shysters and scammers - selling magic bullets that don't exist and don't work. They give our profession the worst possible reputation. See you in Gitmo, SEO fakers?
I don't pretend to have all the answers, I am not sure anyone does. But, what I do works for me and works for the vast majority of my clients all around the world. I enjoy helping other people be successful, which makes me a success in their eyes. When my clients are happy, I am happy. SEO is only part of what I do in life. Winning on the web is fun, but there IS life beyond the Internet. If you don't believe me, visit http://www.nealcreekfarm.com/.
