I was using the search engines today in the cafe and stumbled accros this blog.

I just wanted to thank you for you interest in my services.

The answer to your question is yes both Nathan and myself are real SEO professionals. But let me clarify that a bit.

Nathan is a top notch SEO and honest good guy while I provide promotional services for websites. So when you are done using Nathan’s services you contact me to get search engine placement results.

If I can help you in any way, please call and let me know. Since you are local, we should sit down and chat.

He’s real!

David’s a great guy, and his business is for real.

I’m real too. In fact, I’m typing this on the couch of the Solar coffee house downtown.

Just contact the people named in testimonials on our sites, and you’ll get the real scoop.

Yeah,

I’ve read many articles like these before. And I’ve tried many of the things in there. I have a question. If I went out and got a text link from another blog with similar content, and that blog’s page has been indexed and rescanned, and you can clearly search for “deletemyspam.com” in google and come up with many search results, why haven’t they indexed me?

I have done all the right things in my opinion and it’s been over a month. Many people report results withing 24 hours, some a week or two. I also have the XML site maps running.

So someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong, why does google hate me?

google ignores keyword meta tags but I think it will still use description meta tags.

I did a little research on the domain thing and you are bang on I was amazed at how much of an effect it was having on a couple of google searches.

I’ve stopped bothering with meta tags so much since i heard that google ignores them. Is that true? If so what use do you see for meta tags if the number one search engine ignores them?

Hi,
Thanks for the great article. Can you tell me -why- it is that it helps to have your own domain name? I’m using a free blog spervice – Blogspot – and I’ve suspected that it may not index well in MSN or Google because it is a free service, but is there any hard evidence for this claim?

It’s taken me a long time to figure out all there is to know about blogging on Blogspot and I’d hate to have to start all over again unless it’s guaranteed to give me a better placement in the search engines.

Great post, but I think well structured content is only second to the content itself. You can have great content but if your headings are “a” tags in a div it will mean nothing to a search engine. h1 for page titles h2 for entry headings etc. Google understands markup more then content and uses it for relevance, a “strong” tag will never be seen as important as a “h3″, its just bold text.

I have a very low page rank but I come up in the first ten on all the keywords I am trying to get, that said I am not #1 for generic words such as “blog” but for “artist blog” I am right where I want to be, “sutton ireland” even for funny ones “Che and Castro”. I put thisÂ down to good mark up as I never figured on google till I changed the way I work.

Most all bloggers use some form of content management system (blogger, wordpress or the like) and though it is confusing at first it is important to ensure that the template does not hinder your efforts to get the placement your content deserves. After all content is king!
