Going to hire SEO expert. Help me pls

I have phpbb3 forum which is getting updated almost every hour. I have installed phpBB3 SEO Advance mod its working fine but Google not yet indexed even half of my forum.

I am a programmer not a SEO expert. So I have decided to hire a SEO exceprt to findout the problem of my forum and fix it. I know lot of scammers out there is freelance sites, so please suggest me where can I find good SEO guy and how much it will cost.

Advance thanks

 

I may be able to help you, please PM me your URL and I will take a look.

 

Have you submitted a Sitemap? If not create a sitemap for your forum and submit it to Google. I Bet that would help.

 

Yes, have webmaster account

 

If you want to hire SEO professional, you can better search in services section. First go through their threads and decide the best one that suits your requirement.

 

You can check out iTrader section and other forums like warriorforum WSO's section.

 

good luck finding an expert... just about everyone who answers the threads in this section considers themselves an "expert"

 

100% agree

 

If Google doesnt want to index you forum there are two possible reasons. First, you need a time sometimes it takes 1-3 months until Google index you site. Second, you need to provide good links that indicte to your forum and not only to the main site.

 

you can findout some good seo frims.. on search engines

 

don't waste your money on SEO, really.

just remember the rules:

TITLE
H1
Navigation
Body

make sure you have your keywords lightly mentioned and repeated there.

If you want to attract people, then advertise your forum as SEO-friendly, that is - you give them clean-linking search-engine-visible signatures. And good people (and bad people) will flock in fast. But at least the numbers will go up.

Lastly,

DO NOT SEARCH for SEO experts using search engines. Really. I know it sounds ever so contradictory - but a good SEO is often one that is so keen on getting a client's results very very high on Google, he never have time or even care about his own website. Some don't even have a website!

So reccomendation and word of mouth is best.

Do this, search for various random terms for various industries, and inspect who is the SEO promoter of that site. That is one valid way to find out who is good.

 

I agree with HenryG, why not try to get yourself indexed first. I think you can do it, as you have said you already submitted your sitemap. You just have to wait until your site get indexed by web crawlers. You can also try link building and creating backlinks landing on your pages.

If you still insist of finding an expert, many companies are offering very affordable SEO services. Some of them can be paid hourly or as a package.

Goodluck to you.

 

Yes mate take no chances for you new project......i too was in same problem a few weeks before, but i found my solution to it. I tried 2 seo firms
1> submitedge(.)com .It the highly reputed SEO firm, but a bit on expensive side.
2> submitera(.)com. It very cheap and with the same quality.
You can try out both of them.
HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR!!!!

 

If the forum is fairly new and has added up quite an amount of content in a short time, google will take its own sweet time to index them all!

You probably need to show little patience with it and give it more time.
I know a good friend and a DP member who is excellent in SEO and a terrific hard worker. You may PM me if you want me to give you a ready reference. (He is just a friend and I have no personal interest in his business interests!)
