Seeking advice...

[krissty]

Hello, I just registered and would have read many of the posts and think they are very informative. I have a websites and wondering if anyone could help me out in increasing sales (by better SEO, obviously). Any advice is greatly appreciated. Any recommendations on getting guaranteed placement companies that WORK and are not spammers is also appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, if I was you, I'd try and avoid anybody who will offer you #1 rankings guarenteed. SEO is a rather long, labourious process (I hit #1 for a keyword I was targetting today though, so go me!), and should be done with this in mind.

However, if you show us a website you want SEO'ing, I'm sure a few kind souls could give you a starting block for where you can continue from

Hello(by better SEO, obviously)

Actually no. Increasing sales really is not about SEO. That's more SEM.

Increasing sales can be the slightest adjustment or might need total reconfiguration of the site in question.

What kind of niche your in, what kind of site it is, ad placements, colour scheme etc etc.

If your able to post the URL you might get some better advise.

I get this all the time.

Client: so i will get more traffic once the work is done then?
ME: not necessarrily, you might get less, but you will get better quality traffic

Client: so I have paid you to get me less traffic?
ME: no you have paid me to increase the bottom line, and you 'might' intitally get less traffic, but what you get will be better quality and will convert better, and the usability and other changes made to the site will ALSO increase conversions. which means you will be getting MORE business, which is all I set out to achieve.

Client: Ok fine.

Actually no.

SEO it is just one of the various SEM methods so at the end it's all about SEM no matter what you do in order to improve your website's online presence.

I've noticed many "SEO specialists" making a clear difference between SEO and SEM when actually it's not the case...
