A Bit About SEO and Writing for the Web

There are some fundamental elements of search engine optimization for improving your website ranking potential with the major search engines: well-written keyword focused pages, titles and meta tags. I recommend incorporating these basic SEO techniques in all writing for the web, and am also well-versed in identifying link building strategies and other viral web marketing techniques.

I do not guarantee that my writing or SEO recommendations will get your site the top ranking in the search engines, nor will I list Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services that do, for the simple reason that it is an impossible thing to guarantee in any sustainable way.

The search engines control your placement according to their own unique and constantly changing indexing practices.

The caveat here is this: an SEO provider may very well be able to demonstrate past success in gaining top ranking for their clients' web sites or pages, but, ask yourself, and them:

for how long were they the king of the castle?
what did it take to maintain it, and how much did it cost?
how many times in a given period did they have to change their approach to comply with new search engine requirements or an unexpected bizarre new penalty that caused the site to get dumped?

Some Search Engine Optimizers will guarantee you top ranking within a specified period, say, three months. Once you're there, and the SEO'er is gone,

how will you be able to maintain your rankings for the long term ?

Caveats aside, there are several fairly easy, long-established and well-tested practices for successful search engine optimization of your on-page content.

Learning a bit about search engine optimization and the types of free SEO tools and resources that are available will help you discriminate between myth, fact and likelihood when considering a potential SEO campaign for your website. It will also help you decide what you can do yourself and what you might want to hire an SEO firm to do for you.
