How do I know whether my site needs to be optimized?
If you cannot find your site on the first page or two returned by popular
search engines to the most common queries in your business, your site
needs help. If your site has never been optimized, chances are you will
rank quite low. If it has been optimized a while ago, it is likely that
you need to do it again. The search engine optimization criteria and policies
of search engines change frequently. Moreover, other sites in your business
area are constantly trying to get ahead of you. The only way to keep up
your high search engine placement is to have an on-going maintenance search
engine optimization plan that routinely evaluates your site.

How do I find the best keywords?
We work with you to develop the most effective keywords for your site.
We use a suite of statistical tools to determine which keywords/phrases
in your business area are most actively being used in real queries. These
often turn out to be different from what you expect.

Isn't a listing in the Yahoo or LookSmart directories
enough?
It is not. Many users don't search by categories (as the sites are
listed in these directories) but by keywords only. And although Yahoo and
LookSmart reach a large portion of the internet audience, there are ten
or so other search engines that are highly utilized by searchers, and many
of them reach beyond their own listings through partnerships with other
search engines. When they don't find what they are looking for, users often
perform the same search on another engine.

What about those search engine placement services
that submit your site to 5,000 search engines for a song?
Bogus! Although the Web is littered with thousands of search engines, free for all (FFA) pages, and link farms, almost 100% of all searches are performed through the top 10 search engines. Moreover, the better search engines started using mechanisms that prevent automatic submissions, and in any case, merely submitting your site to a search engine has nothing to do with top ranking.

How long does it take to see search engine placement
results?
Sometimes weeks, sometimes months. Each search engine is different, and
the time it takes to index a site varies greatly from one engine to the
next. We recommend that you plan early for any special promotions, and
expect to see any results in about 3 to 4 months. There have been cases,
however, when we completed all the search engine placement work in one
month.

How do I track the progress of my site?
Each month we send you search engine optimization reports that show your current
position of your site on all the the search engines that we have targeted.
These reports will clearly show the progress your site is making. After
a while, higher search engine placement begins to translate into traffic
to your site.

How long will my site retain its high search engine
placement?
It varies from search engine to search engine. As you will notice in your
monthly reports, search engine placement changes quite often, sometimes
from week to week. A good search engine optimization is hard-fought and hard-won,
with many other sites vying for the same position. This is where our on-going
search engine optimization maintenance plan helps you retain your valued
top search engine placement over time.

Why do I need to maintain my site?
If you don't actively maintain your site, all your top rankings will eventually
drop. By definition, all rankings are on a continuous downward slide as
a result of several factors: changes in search engines ranking algorithms,
increased competition for top search engine placement, new pages being
indexed, and occasionally search engines cleaning out their indexes all
together. It may take a few weeks or a few months, but eventually your
site will begin to slip in the search engine placement. Our on-going search
engine optimization maintenance plan allows you to keep your top search engine
placement at a minimal price.
BACK TO TOP
Can you guarantee that my site will rank among
the top three on Google?
We don't make promises that we are not 100% sure we can keep. Because
every search engine makes its own decisions about what pages to the index
and how to rank and display them, it is both impossible and unethical to
guarantee specific results. Services that make such promises are either
being untruthful or using methods that search engines prohibit, such as
"cloaking." These tactics can get your site blacklisted.
That is why we don't make specific ranking guarantees. Our work is based
on extensive professional search engine optimization techniques, on our vast
expertise, and on up-to-date information about the search engine placement industry.
