In 10 areas round here I was constantly coming up in the top 5 for all of them.
Now I'm down to 12th in one and 25th in another.
Why does it throw up some business that is 15 miles away from the area.
Why do some companies come above me even when there business isn't carpet cleaning.
I change the look of my website round evey 2 - 3 weeks as someone suggested that would
keep me up there and it worked up till last week.
Confused.

SEO is a ongoing process of link building, social book marking, directory submissions, article/pr writing/submissions, blog commenting, on-site/off-site seo and much more.

If your competition is getting ahead of you, then your gonna have to keep working until you get ahead of them.

SEO is almost like having another job if your trying to target some serious keywords.

John,

You remind me of my Mrs.

She goes on and on about some problem she's got and I foolishly assume she wants to solve it, when in fact she just wants to moan about it.  ;)  ;D

Still can't understand why so and so window cleaners are number 1 spot in
one of my areas under cc

Hi John

I think sometimes there's no rhyme nor reason, maybe google just doesn't find backlinks one day and then it does the next.   Also when you first put up a site google artificially promotes it for a while which invariably means you get all excited then it drops down to its proper ranking and you get ped off.  ;D

Silly boy; the trick is to pretend you are listening and empathising-you do not, I repeat, do not, try and solve the problem.


.....that comes later-when they ask you what they should do.

(Oh, the voice of experience/married for 18 years!) :-*

Always agree, I atangonise my wife by saying "oh yes my love, of course you are right how stupid of me" doesn't half hurt afterwards though.
