I am starting my SEO company for Wordpress sites and blogs only, and would like to know your opinion about it! some of the features are: -Directory submissions -article submissions -search enginne sumbission -sitemap creation and submission -social book markings -google analitics integration -keyword reasearch -robot.txt -Localization (you get local listings for search engines) -optimizing images -wordpress optimization (installation and configuration of many useful wordpress plug-ins) -face book page -facebook connect -twitter -Full report at the end of the month! and many more the cost starts at $200-$2000/m what do you think? do you think i can get clients? would you be my client if you had a wordpress blog/site?
-Directory submissions---- useless and not seo -article submissions---- fair enough -search enginne sumbission----- why, certainly not seo and dead for about 10 years -sitemap creation and submission----- not seo -social book markings------meh... only seo to a few and needs to be done correctly -google analitics integration------ standard practice, not seo but needs to be done -keyword reasearch------ sure -robot.txt------meh... -Localization (you get local listings for search engines)---- sure no problem there -optimizing images------ not exactly seo either but speed is actually factored now -wordpress optimization (installation and configuration of many useful wordpress plug-ins)------ takes about 2 minutes -face book page------meh again requires much work and does nothing unless the site is already useful -facebook connect-----see above -twitter------waste of time -Full report at the end of the month!----- not much to report ehh? hope that helps, not trying to be a stick in the mud but ranking websites involves a range of things not listed. You have about 8 minutes of work in your list less churning out some copy. Nigel
Ha, not to be negative or anything, but at $200 a month I could manage a thousand blogs doing what you have listed. It is all very basic, and if a blogger is capable of running their own blog, they are capable of doing what you have mentioned. You may be better off writing an ebook with all of the points you have mentioned, and selling it for $7 or $8 bucks, teaching how to do what you know. Just my two cents.
You will have to excuse me. I don't have all day to repeat myself but here is some reading for you and the search feature here actually sorta works http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1835616 touched on it briefly here with an example of how to approach things correctly. Wordpress is no different it just makes a few mechanical things a tad easier. Read this http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=413544 it is the sticky thread in the SEO board for a reason. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4303354#post4303354 great list handling everything from site architecture to building backlinks properly. http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3708201 is wordpress centric but he did not quite get around to updating that prior to his passing. WP does a few of these things by default now. At the end of day, specific wordpress matters take about 5 minutes to sort out unless the template was coded by chimps. All in one SEO pack is not really necessary either. Wordpress works fine on its own. I use it to save a bit of time with a few things like no-indexing archives etc. Professional SEO and or marketing is not about the mechanics, its about the human end of things. Any idiot can make blog comments. Feel free to ask specifics. I am just a tad swamped right this sec. Magda posted some nice links as well the other day. http://static.googleusercontent.com/...rter-guide.pdf http://www.seomoz.org/article/beginn...e-optimization http://www.hobo-web.co.uk/seo/ Nigel
I would not hire you as an SEO consultant for what you have listed above. Now, I might hire you to do some things as a service, but it would only be because I was too lazy to do it myself. Article Submission would be the things I think you would get the most benefit from and in all honesty, I could pay a writer5-7 bucks for an article, run it through TheBestSpinner, and submit it myself.... all for less than 10 bucks. Now you may be able to get some work from those services, but I would call them just that.... services. I wouldn't seek work as an SEO consultant and just offer those services because many webmasters will see right through it. my $.02
