My new Business...What do you think about my website?

[The Cleaning Doctor]

There is no set count on what to use but the rule of thumb is 4-6% so if you have 100 words then you should have 4-6 keywords. Not different ones, the same key word. Now you can have another 4-6 % of a different key word. Less than that and it under performs. More than that and it looks like spam. That is what caused Google to discount the value of meta tags because web builders stuffed them with the same key word over and over. By the way Jay was the first one to receive the SEO report on his site. It was 80 pages long and maybe he will drop in and let us know if he learned anything from it and the kind of information that it supplies. He has some work to do but it tells him where to do it.

May I ask how much that would cost for my site?

Yea I'd like to hear what Jay learned from it and what he is doing with that information.

[The Cleaning Doctor]

I would love to hear what he is implementing also.

Here are some screen shots from a report. I had to black out the site name to protect the innocent..... LOL

You will notice that keyword optimization is below 50% in the body of the page. The report will also give you suggestions on where to fix the issues.

The report will also give you info on your competitors and their keywords etc.

Unfortunately I can't show you any of these types of pages as there is too much info about the site the reports were run against.

The attachments are real web site results and are for examples only. I will never post a report with anyone's info or with the ability for someone to figure out which site it was run on.

All I can say is that this particular site is in the pacific NW.

Text, Text, Text guys. Rankings will go up with more text than fancy flash or animation.

Flash or Animation looks cool but if you never get found on Google, what use is it? Plus, too much of this will cause your page to be slow to load. Have you ever clicked away from a page because it loaded too slow? People want info and they want it now. We are in an instant gratification society so you better be ready to serve it up or they will click on another site.

I am not against flash or animation but most tend to overdo it.

If you look at my wood restoration site, you will see some Java with the photos and the reader board but there is also a lot of supporting text there. You will notice that the photos take some time to load, but in the mean time the text is there for the potential customer to read. I still have a lot of tweaking to do and some pages to finish but I wanted to start getting it crawled so by spring it is rocking.

[Steve]

So then maybe they need to double the amount of keyword usage in the body of the site?

[The Cleaning Doctor]

Not necessarily, If you look at the 4th photo, they are only using 162 words on the page and the SEO guide is telling them they need to be around 1300. There are so many factors that go into the rankings that you can not concentrate on one aspect. It may be that they have to add the key word 2 times to get up hear 100% optimization but it may also be that they have to add 500 words before they start to move up in %.

This software compares your site directly with your competitors in your area and if you can beat their % then you should rank higher in the results.

i have to say i got a report done by this guy and he was pretty informative. Ive been trying to tweak my site. Ive gotten it from off the top 100 on page rank to 62 on google and 9 on yahoo or there abouts. I have been out of town and will be paying him to list in directories. I just wish i had the cash to pay 250 a month for him to do the optimization. I like to do work with people that help me out, just is out of my budget. Im just at a catch 22 right now, i need optimization to get business, but i dont have the business to pay that much for it right now. I tell my self, if i just get 1 more job a month i could afford it, but i havent been seen to get that business

[jaytime25]

and i have since done even more adjusting to my website such as my h1 heading, some more keywords on home page and backlinking. Curious to see where it goes once it gets cached again

[The Cleaning Doctor]

That is great to see it is working.

I did some checking after your first post and you are correct, you are moving up. Patience and steady work will eventually get you there.

One thing that will help your rankings guys. Take a look at my signature and that of Steve. You will see key word linking. Line mine Wood Restoration and Organic Lawn Care are both linked to my site. Don't just link to your home pages but also link to interior pages. This way Google will rank your interior pages as well and you can start to have more than one listing on the results pages.

If you always link to one page, that is the one that will rank. Most likely the only one that will show up in the results page.
