Orange County SEO No Spin Zone

Dave Keys — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:21:30 +0000

I’m as much in favor of article syndication as the next anti-Panda advocate but thin content is thin content. I’ve seen competitors in recent months for keyword Orange County SEO expend resources on creating more and more spin content and thin and even unintelligible, out-of-control so-called article marketing that is really just spam, trying desperately to rank for the old OC search optimization keyword but my site rises in the Google search results to page one with just the creation of a few original posts and links from a few of my blogs- not the boilerplate anchor text kind but natural links. Why?

Quality still beats brute force- maybe not immediately but over the longer term, it’s going to win. Google can sort it out and sooner or later, it does just that.

Every day, cheap “SEO” consultants and firms offer this kind of cheap temporary spam as SEO but any decent campaign that employs all of the known current Google preferred SEO methods in Orange County and everywhere else will come out ahead.

Hey, it looks like this now:

Don’t let the SEO spammers fool you with three keywords and ten thousand boilerplate low quality links. They begin and end at temporary search rankings and never touch marketing at all. Where’s the ROI? Why spend money on temporary ranking that’s going to get consumed by quality competitors?

Contact me for a shot at a real, quality SEO campaign, especially SEO for real estate. It won’t be cheap but it will be an effective progression toward marketing to clients who provide you with something that really helps your business- income!

SEO and Style in Orange County

Dave Keys — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:23:03 +0000

Lately I’ve notice the rash of some of the worst article marketing in the name of Orange County SEO with absolutely no style- in fact, apparently no person behind it at all. Machine spun content to give links to some of our top local OC SEO firms. I hope Panda cleans house guys. I hate to think that the way to rank in SEO is to stoop to that level of crap quality. I’d rather write content that is even vaguely related but that is at least entertaining and readable. We know that Panda is rolled out over and over again to improve the quality of what is probably the world’s greatest database, Google search. I think those who game it with cynical junk in the name of generating back-links will end up losing. I truly hope so anyway. I have abandoned more than one “SEO service” because of the absolute lack of anything like quality in the content that couches their back-links. I’d rather just get out of the biz than lead it down that path.

Enough ranting- on to a word about Panda. I watched one of my keyword terms fall to somewhere around page 15, maybe lower- perhaps because of overuse of anchor text on that keyword. It took one post and about three diverse back-links to bring it back up to page three. I’d say Panda is doing its job like Kung Fu Panda. The SEO version of Jeet Kune Do is what it takes to rank now. A blend of all the elements as cited in SEOMoz’ 2011 Ranking Factors Survey. Go get it and have a read!

I don’t have a picture of a Panda handy but this hummingbird demonstrates the same kind of agility needed in SEO in today’s search to rank like an expert. (See rank like an expert over at http://real-estate-seo.net at #1. Go ahead and look it up.)

Hone your skills in SEO and make sure your staff is following suit or you will probably deservedly be caught by Panda or one of its cousins.

Write with style, rank with style and communicate with your audience to perform in Google search. That’s the philosophy of Google and I’m sticking with it.

Orange County SEO Pricing

Though it is not necessarily the most critical part of a successful SEO campaign, the optimization phase is the one most familiar to clients and business owners.

Dave Keys: basic optimization pricing for Orange County SEO

Keyword results with Google rankings is something everyone is after but the mistake most often made is that business owners often think in terms of how they perceive their business, not what the most likely buyer is thinking when they go to a search engine. That is both the science and art of effective SEO and search engine marketing. What is a person who is ready to buy your product going to type into Google? There are tools that enable an accurate analysis of what people are searching for- that’s the scientific part. Analysis with various tools will show you exactly what people are typing into Google. The art is predicting what your next customer will type into Google. Someone who actually needs your product may not even be aware of your product as they are trying to solve a problem.
