Our company has just developed a new dynamic, database driven e-commerce site to sell our electrical distribution equipment. To date, we have relied on PPC engines to bring traffic to our site, but we are now realizing that it might be more efficient to spend less on PPC and more on SEO to minimize long term costs.

Please let me know if you would be interested in taking on the project of optimizing the site and marketing it for our industry online.

In your response, please let me know the rate you will charge for your services.

Thanks for your help!

Anthony,
I can talk to you about getting ranked. I receive emails every time my site is hit from a search engine. Here is a search I received today:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=custom+database+software+developers
In it my company is 1st for 'custom database software developers'. Note that Google is currently the most popular search engine.

Also see the links at the bottom of this page on our website for 3 more top rankings:
http://www.21stsoft.com/services_search_engines.asp

I'd be happy to talk to you regarding achieving top search engine ranking. My rates are $100/hr. for this service. Usually a few optimized pages are all that is needed, and it costs a few thousand dollars in total. If more pages need to be changed it, of course, costs more.

Let me know...

Thanks.
Best regards.

Welcome to the forums Michael! :hi:

Please don't only post to solicit members looking for a SEO. You need to contribute to the forums by helping others with questions, etc.

It seems you are mostly a database/software programmer so you can help in those forums in here. I simply don't wish members to solicit if they don't help as well. Besides, others looking for a SEO will want to see the knowledge you have with your posts, etc. Your site is not a good indication as the ranks you show are for phrases not searched on anyway.

Just be a good member first, and other things develop from that. Believe me, they really do. :)

Welcome to the forums allbreakers! :hi:

Hi ihelpyou,
Sorry the post was against the grain of your intent for the site. I must admit though:
1. I responded directly to the question posted looking for a company that provides these services
2. I thought this was the exact reason for this 'Professional Help' section of the forum - both due to the name of the forum, and the fact that I found nothing on the site that told me different.
3. I saw other responses where companies responded in the same tone as my own response.

I am not sure what you mean by:
> Your site is not a good indication as the ranks you show are for phrases not searched on anyway.
because these keywords are those that bring me business, and indeed, why I started by business 10 years ago - 'VB6 secure custom database', 'custom database software developers', '21st century technology', 'custom database software developers'. Maybe I misinterpreted your comment on this.

It is my opinion that a history of success is an accurate indication of future success. I feel that the Search Engine Optimization subject is important, and it is only one of the services I successfully provide, and have for years. The keywords I have selected and optimized my site for have the site ranked at the top in the search engines I targeted - specifically, MSN, AOL, Google, and Yahoo - which currently occupy 89% of keyword searches on the internet (per WordTracker). 21stsoft.com is ranked # 1 for the intended words on these search engines. SEO is a research and development effort, and that is what I excel at, including providing these services honestly and with integrity.

I am glad I found your forums, and would be happy to participate in helping others, but I feel that this is at least slightly unfair since everything I found on the site told me that this was exactly what you were looking for.

I hope it all makes sense.
Just trying to contribute and keep the balls in the air.

Thanks and best regards.

No prob at all. Simply 'help' in the forums. You have made two posts and both with saying you can help with SEO.

Be a contributer in here and your sales will come automatically. I don't think others have done the same without being a full time member first. If they have, I probably told them the same thing. I don't feel I have to 'state' anywhere about this. I feel it only is common sense. The forums are not for one SEO to simply solicit business without doing nothing more. Now that would not make any sense and I think you would agree. :)

Also understand that all 20 or so moderators in here do SEO work. Many more members are SEO's. It's not like we don't have lots of SEO's in here anyway. :) They have all contributed a great deal in here.

No big deal. You see I did not edit your post.

Further; Simply post "email me" to the member. No need to get into a biography of what you can or cannot do. Your "other" posts in here will indicate that anyway.

Thanks.

I am sure this can turn out to be positive a 2 way experience - meaning that although I know a lot about SEO, there is always something to learn.

Looking forward to seeing what it becomes.
