SEO

Just want to gauge your thoughts on companies who provide this service.

Worth every penny or best left to the individual to optimise their site themselves (with dedication could one do a good enough job of it)?!

Might get a good response in the HTML / Programming section.

Can a mod please move to area mentioned above.

Thanks

Don't you just hate people who speak abbreviation language to an unknown audience. Is it too difficult to spell Search Engine Optimisation?

You're right.

It was wrong of me to assume everyone would know what SEO means..... Just thought with this being a tech form and all..... You know

DAIR · 26 Mar 2012 at 15:25

So best to assume otherwise then? Lol

Actually ignore that.

Any advice would be much appreciated.... Spoke to some broker over the phone yesterday. Have since spoken with 3 different providers promising to get my site noticed.

After giving it some thought I'd like to know whether or not it would be worth while giving it a try myself.

Go to Google, read their spiel for webmasters and take note. Beyond that a good, well laid out website with decent content should not need expensive SEO which could potentially lead to rank evapouration or banning later on.

Shall check it out.

I'd avoid any SEO agency that treats SEO as a it's own separate entity.

Any good agency knows these days that successfully promoting a website can involve everything from "raw" SEO to social media, from website conversion optimisation and customer retention and re-marketing right through to more traditional forms of media PR.

A good SEO agency should be sitting down with you and looking at your businesses goals and working with you to help archive it.

I run a digital marketing company although my client list is full at the moment I'm happy to chat any time.

Thanks for the advice.

Guess I'm just curious to know whether or not these Co. are simply offering a service anyone could do?!

Popped you a trust mate, maybe you'll like them, maybe you wont!

Feel free to ask around if the brand is any good, do your own research and you'll see they've won many awards.

Just noticed. Many thanks

I've decided to see whether I can give this a go on my own. Have manged to find a short list of books that might be of some use.
