Following on from a previous post SEO Results Take Time. When starting an SEO campaign with new client it’s important to ask have they had any previous SEO work? Cleaning up the SEO mess somebody or a company has created before hand can be very very time consuming. Many people think more links to your website the better, this is inaccurate. Building proper links is long process. Some SEO companies use an automated directory submission service, it’s usually about 300 directories the latest we have seen is 1000 submissions. Many of these directories have a waiting list for the submission to be accepted. You might be looking at a new scenario 4 – 6 months down the line when the links start to appear.
Often these types of submissions are useless and have a few hidden nightmares.
- Usually only allow one anchor text
- Deep linking not permitted
- Bad neighbour hood
- Breaking Google Webmaster Guidelines
- Poor quality
- No traffic passed on
- Not indexed
- No substance
If your looking for a SEO company to carry out link building. They should be quite willing to share information.
- What they’re doing?
- Why they’re doing it?
- How they’re doing it?
If your unsure of the services a company offers, take a look through the client list and ring or email a few. This is usually the best and most accurate way of finding a good SEO company.
