Beware of "Snake Oil" salesmen selling SEO Expert Services

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is both an art and science that requires skills and knowledge on how major search engines work and how to perform website optimization in order to rank on the top pages of Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.

SEO skills require years of experience and experimentation in order to refine SEO methods and best practices. Search engines such as Google periodically change their ranking algorithm and it's the aim of an SEO expert or SEO specialist to be always updated of these algorithm changes in order for their clients' websites to stay on top of the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

Anyone can offer Search Engine Optimization services and claim to be an expert in this field of work. You can see new websites sprouting up offering SEO expert services. These SEO firms / freelancers may be legit but some are offering hype and hot air. Sometimes they refer to themselves as the top or best SEO firms in their area. Care should be taken by business owners in searching for good and reliable SEO firms or SEO freelancers.

The first thing you have to check out are the SEO firm / SEO freelancer's portfolio of clients and the target keywords optimized and ranked for these clients. You can ask about their SEO methods and check if they are using all white-hat techniques. You can also ask about their corporate website and how its target keywords / keyphrases rank against competitors.

The best giveaway of a "snake oil" salesman is a website that is not visible in the top pages of Google SERPs for keywords that this SEO firm is supposed to have a good ranking. Check their domain names and homepage title text for obvious target keywords that should have top page ranking on major search engine ranking results.

I hope my "rant" gave you some pointers on how to select the best SEO firm / SEO freelancer for your website(s).

Good Luck!

Search Engine Optimization Services

Search Engine Optimization

SEO is an acronym for "search engine optimization" or "search engine optimizer." SEO is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results.

Deciding to hire an SEO professional is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to your website and online reputation. Make sure to research the potential advantages as well as the damage that an irresponsible SEO firm or freelancer can do to your site.

Many SEO companies and consultants provide useful services for website owners, including:

* Review of your website content, navigational elements, and linking structure
* Technical advice on website development: for example, web hosting, page redirects, error pages, use of CSS and JavaScript
* Content development
* Management of online business development campaigns
* Keyword research and keyword competitor analysis
* SEO training
* Expertise in niche markets and geographies.


Keep in mind that the Google search results page includes organic search results and often paid advertisement (denoted by the heading "Sponsored Links") as well.

If you're thinking about hiring an SEO Expert / SEO Consultant, the earlier the better. A great time to hire is when you're considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site. That way, you and your SEO can ensure that your site is designed to be search engine-friendly from the bottom up. However, a good SEO can also help improve an existing site. Outrank your competitors now thru 1st page rankings of your target keywords and get more sales and conversions by hiring an SEO Expert.

Google and the other major search engines change their keyword ranking algorithms from time to time. What you think will work for your website's SEO may not work tomorrow or the next month. With Google's Panda updates, a lot of websites were penalized and disappeared from Google's top search result pages. Because of low quality and duplicate content detected on these websites, these sites were penalized and their keyword rankings dropped.

You will need a Google SEO Expert that studies these algorithm changes and adapt these changes to succeeding SEO campaigns in order to comply with the Google Panda site quality requirements.
