*** Free Website Analysis by who? ***

Posted August 26th, 2008 | Filed Under SEO Strategy, Website Design -

As someone in the website design and search engine strategy marketplace, I am always curious when I get certain emails that come my way. Today I received one that made me laugh.

The title:
Free Website Analysis worth $399

Ok, so contrary to my own advice, I opened it. (There were no attachments!) The text of the email spoke of how ranking high in the search engines can be beneficial and how they could provide a free anaylsis of my website to make sure got good search engine rankings. At the bottom was the name of their website, so I went to check them out…

Here is what I got when I visited the website:

Under Construction

The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured.

Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try contacting the Web site administrator.

 

What? And you are going to help me get ranked on Google? How about finishing your pages!

Quite frankly, this is not surprising. There are a number of “SEO experts” out there that will offer you the sun and the stars, but with no validation at all. I mean if you can’t even get a simple website up and running, how are you going to offer me Search Engine Optimization?

I just found this amusing. What do you think? Should they at least have a website up first?

*** Case Study: Alaska Home Loans ***

Posted August 12th, 2008 | Filed Under SEO Strategy, Website Design -

Google Top Ten in Under 10

As many of you know, I also operate a mortgage website ( www.EdNailor.com) which is a left over from my “prior life.” I still maintain my mortgage license and work with a select group of agents in helping them get their loans closed. However, that is more of a part time thing.

Even though it is a part time, I still maintain my website. Since I have done the right work using the right techniques, it is very easy to maintain the top rankings! But today I wanted to test the power of my own system.

In my prospecting, I ran across a search in Google for “Alaska Home Loans.” I decided to use this search term for a case study. The goal was to take my personal mortgage website which has been focused on the Charlotte, NC mortgage market and see if I could get it ranked on the first couple pages of the “Alaska Home Loans” search.

At 12.57pm, I posted a quick article about Alaska Home Loans (click on the link to see the article). I did not employ every single technique I teach, so this was a quick “rough draft”, if you will. However, just using the simple article on a super-charged website, at 1.08pm I found that my “Charlotte NC Mortgage Website” was now ranked on page 1 of Google for the same “Alaska Home Loans” search in the 8th position in under 10 minutes!

Now, if you happen to view this article months down the road, I guarantee you I will no longer be ranked. I will not continue to focus on this keyphrase with my Charlotte mortgage website. But I do guarantee you that if I chose to, I could dominate that market!

This is the power of the Found By Design system. It’s more than just a website. While others are hocking “websites” we are helping you create a true online presence.. one that you have control over!

Can your current site do this? Email Us now or Call 877-376-7736 to harness this power for yourself!

*** Affordable Quality Web Sites are Here! ***

Posted August 8th, 2008 | Filed Under SEO Strategy, Website Design -

Years ago before I knew what HTML even was, I knew I needed a website to have a viable presence. I called several website companies to see what it would take to get a great website up and running. The ones with quality sites wanted anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 or more before they would even talk to me. The ones that were affordable looked so simple I knew I could do better… and I did.

Many years later, having learned more than the basics and gaining a lot of knowledge and understanding, I now create websites that do more than just sit there. Employing the right strategy can make your website dominate the search engine results and truly create an online presence that gets you business, no matter what that business is!

I took my own mortgage website from nothing to owning the search results in under 90 days! The same can be done for my clients! And what’s more, it’s affordable!

If you are interested in having your website domainate the search engine results, submit your website now for a free website evaluation. We will review your current site and let you know how we can help. This is not an automated review… we actually sit down and look at the core items that make or break your online presence!
