We are currently offering Business Growth Consultations.  No obligation.  We are here to review what you are doing and see what we think you could do a little differently to get better results.  This is my favorite part of my job.  I get to talk to (or email) people and find out what's going on with their business and offer solutions.  It kinda rocks.  I love examining what's working and what isn't and figuring out the next 3 things that need to be done to create some momentum and growth.

There has been a ton of shake-up and news lately - stay tuned for my next jam packed newsletter.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Ohhh, anyone going to watch the SAG awards?  My friend works there and got me a pass for the Red Carpet.  It's a blast to hang out and watch the celebs all do their thing on the Red Carpet.  Stay tuned, I may share a few pics in my next newsletter (so unrelated to SEO, I know, but it's still fun).  That is so far removed from the life I lead, its fun to have a little glimpse into it.  :)

3 Simple Questions

I wanted to ask you a favor.  I'm trying to get a feel for what my subscribers are looking for.  I want to be able to answer your questions and provide you with the info you are looking for you.

Would you be willing to hit reply and answer 3 really simple questions?  I'd appreciate it!

1. What is your biggest question related to SEO, or what topic interests you most? (Ex: links, social media, writing keyword rich text, just getting on the top of the engines, etc)
2. If you aren't currently doing SEO (either yourself or by outsourcing to a company), why not?
3. If I were able to demonstrate the value of SEO and show you the traffic that you have the potential to tap into, would you be interested in working with me?  (C'mon, can't blame a girl for asking!  I'd love the opportunity to earn your business and thought I'd just come right out and ask if that's a possibility)

I appreciate your time and your feedback.  I promise I'll compile all the answers and start addressing the questions and topics through my newsletter and Blog.

Google and Sites That Don't Belong

SEO is complex.  SEO is maddening.  SEO is confusing.  But more than anything  SEO is EFFECTIVE.

It is unanimously agreed that SEO is the top source of driving targeted traffic to sites. Everyone wants top SEO rankings.  The problem is, you look at the SERPs (search engine results pages) and you find sites there that you don't expect to.  You see sites that are filled with spam, you see sites with no content, you see sites with no inbound links.

And worst of all is what you don't see - YOUR site.

It makes no sense - you've done everything you can, followed all the rules and still your site is no where.  How are these other sites that don't belong there holding on to your coveted spot?

The truth is, as smart as the engines are, they don't catch all the garbage sites out there as quickly as we would like them to.  There are 2 things we can do to help eradicate this problem.

1.  Report any and all spam and garbage sites to Google (and the other engines you use).  This is not being a tattle tale, this is not going out for revenge.  This is simply asking Google to uphold the rules that they are asking you to follow.  It is saying, "I'm playing fair here, so level the playing field so my competitors that are "less-than ethical" don't rule the SERPs".  To notify

2.  The second thing you can do is follow best practices 100%.  Be aggressive, be proactive, but be ethical.  The more people insist on "black hat" tactics, the more sites we'll see that are sneaking by Google.   Know that with active efforts Google is making daily to weed out spam - you have everything to gain by patiently, aggressively and ethically optimizing your site.
