I am always getting email asking me if I need an SEO specialist in order for me to be in Google Top Page. maybe when they are trying to search Google , there are times that they got stumble into my pages where I am telling them that I love SEO. Search Engine Optimization is really cool, Some says that they use black hat, grey hat, white hat or any other color of hat. For me automation of things in order to go to Google Top 1 is not black hat. It is just a smart way of doing things in SEO industry. Black Hat is something like deceiving the searchers with things that cannot really deliver.
I have never done any SEO Consultation to any company or organization but I have done a lot with my own site. If I will charge fees for SEO Work it will definitely not be lower on how much I am earning nowadays in all my online ventures. And definitely I will charge a monthly fee in order to maintain my work. I don’t think that an SEO’d site will not need any maintenance. SEO is evolving and is constantly changing. Specially nowadays that Google is seeing competition with Facebook.
Doing SEO in any site is not easy, even lot’s of SEO Professional is saying it is only easy. Making SEO needs lots of time and also timing, SEO involves on site optimization and Off site optimization. It involves also proper link building as well as research.
But put it in mind that not all back links are good. There are back links which is only good for generating traffic and not good for increasing Google’s visibility. That is why I told a while ago that research is important. Not all low competition keywords is easy to optimized. When you make any optimization do not think that the things you are doing is just as easy as eating cake.
I still believe that formulating your own checklist will also help you a lot whenever you do keywords optimization. The Key is keyword planning. You need to plan to get to Google Top post.
Observation is also one of the important things to do, you need to observed Google results and see whatever gold mine that you could get from those links and sites in front of you.
Being a member and being friendly with other SEO Practitioner will also help a lot in your learning process. Be a member of SEO Forum.
Search Engine Marketing is also a must in your way up to Google and Web Traffic.
