Do you need an SEO expert? If you can afford one, yes,
especially if you are new to the concept of SEO. While nearly
all information regarding Seach Engine Optimization can be found
on the internet, you’ll probably waste countless hours working
on (and probably reworking) Search Engine Optimization related
issues for your site if you attempt the entire process on your
own. An
Search Engine Optimization expert will know the ins and outs of Search Engine
Optimization and can help you to quickly establish a method to
effectively developing your website.
How do you find an SEO Expert?
I'd like to say that, since your on this website, you already
have, but before I designate myself an Search Engine Optimization expert I'm going to
prove to you that I am in fact a Search Engine Optimization
expert and not merely another self-proclaimed SEO expert.
When seeking a Search Engine Optimization expert you should ask these questions:
1) Do they have former clients?
2) Do they have samples of
previous work?
3) Do they make outrageous claims that seem
too good to be true? (ie: top Google ranking for any
keyword phrase you choose) These "SEO experts" are
generally phoneys.
4) Do they have a well-optimized website? (Don't choose
experts from paid advertising)
5) Can they answer your questions in a manner you understand?
In my opinion, the true sign of an SEO expert is that they
understand SEO well enough to explain it to anyone.
6) Are they open with their methods? Make sure your
Search Engine Optimization expert does not perform black hat
practices, which can severely penalize your site.
7) Does your Search Engine Optimization expert respond
quickly to
queries?
8) Do they offer a
free consultation?
If the answer to all these questions is yes, you have found a
genuine Search Engine Optimization expert.
Many Search engine optimization experts guard their secrets
closely, fearing that divulging information is a good way to
lose business. I don't feel that way. Here is a good
way to save money during
the SEO process without relying on
professional seo services.
If you want to save money or are interested in learning
SEO
on your own, it is possible to optimize your site
There is a vital aspect of Search Engine Optimization that anyone can easily perform
without the help of an Search Engine Optimization expert: link building.
Link Building
Link building is the time-consuming process of increasing the
number of inbound links to your site. An inbound link is a link
posted on another website that, when clicked on, opens a web
page on your site. Search Engines view inbound links as a major
factor that determines the importance of your site — the
assumption is that if a lot of people are willing to link to
your site, your site must be a good site.
NOTE: Link building is about quality, not quantity.
WARNING: Many SEO experts promise directory submission
services that will get your site listed in thousands of
directories. While this seems like a beneficial service, these
companies often submit your website to directories that have
absolutely nothing to do with your site. If you sell jewelry, it
won’t do your site any good to be listed in a Pet Services
directory.
