seo suggestions

We have been paying for monthly seo work via some seo experts on scriptlance for the last 4-5 months or so, its not a huge amount but a fairly hefty lump but we are not seeing any major advances in search engine position or enquiries which has lead to me questioning the work being done.

The work paid for despite being on and off site seems to primarily involve spamming 200-250 links/articles per month and not much else, i am guessing i could probably do this myself or use tools to do it, but is there something else i can do to try and improve things...

url is www.juliesproperties.com

 

that sounds like the offer we took up earlier in the year that we are now questioning hehehe

 

Well dude, SEO is not a trick, rather involves lot of research, analysis, time. So, do not play with your site, unless are you aware of the SEO process.

You better hire someone else, who could provide you with some previous work samples and ask for references.

Should you still feel that you do not need any seo expert, so here are few Few (out of many) things you can do to make your website better:

1. Write down your goal
2. Brainstorm and write down the important search queries
3. Research your chosen key phrases
4. Analyze your current search engine rankings for your keyphrases
5. Create a list of your competition (very important)
6. Sign up and verify with Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, and Bing Webmaster Center
7. Let Google Analytics run for two weeks before doing any SEO
8. Evaluate the design and functioning of your site
9. Improve the site design (if required - without playing much with the content)
10. Credibility matters (add credibility indicators)
11. People can’t read computer (make your urls human and search engine friendly)
12. Improve average time on site (unless you’re a directory)
13. Try to reduce the bounce rate (Add call to action)
14. Don’t hide content from your users (don’t move stuff!) & don’t hide links from search engines!
15. Make it easy to contact you
16. Make it easy to find out about your company
17. Anchor text is important (internal and external – you are what your links say you are)
18. Improve link popularity (with text links, articles, PR, directory, blog, RSS, etc)
19. Add a flavor of social media to your marketing campaign.
20. Selectively deliver content (block duplicate content from search engines, as search engines loves fresh and unique content)
21. Encourage (or even incentivize) positive off site sentiment
(degree and kind of engagement)

Your site's using Julie's Properties everywhere for h1 though some pages obviously have a different heading.

I am assuming you are trying to optimize your site for Algarve Estate Agent, Algarve Property Specialist (taken from homepage title), if not probably you need to revise the title. The title has 82 letters, the norm is use max 65/66 characters because search engines anyway don't show and use remaining letters.

The site's description is a shame algarve property and licensed algarve real estate specialist julies properties. It should be rewritten to have a call to action with 150 letters.

There is nothing wrong with article submissions and directory links. But you seriously need help with on page SEO.

 

I visit your site and found that the SEO on your site is not apply in best way, such as the description is not good and you can also need to update your site title. your site in english language then you can use "best or perfect" instead of "Algarve".
other part of question; SEO is the time consuming process/practice so please don't try himself. if you need then you can contact any SEO professional and done seo work.

 

SEO also is time consuming! There is no FAST way to do it. You have to make sure you hire a legit SEO company, like someone mentioned above, ask for references. And if you site is fairly new, it will take time to build credibility with Google. Organic placements take time.

 

I think Seo is very competitive and to get online business its very must.

 

Design matters!!!

When the display is in its place the chance of selecting too goes high.

I am sure that how much you spend for the designing of yr website.

There are people i know personally for designing websites. quality designing, commitment and customer satisfaction. Comparatively less in price.

If interested PM me

 

Well if you want to improve serp then emphasize more on content using correct keyword density. On the other hand, if you want to want to improve Page rank then you need to bring more backlinks from high pr are relevant theme sites.
