I have read and read and tried different things but am sinking fast. Went from 39 and today I am at 195 on Google for "Barrie Home Inspector" on site http napoleon.cc I tried IBP and followed all their tips and it has just got worse. Any pointers to direct me in the right area would be appreciated. Roger
Well for starters I would change your signature and make The " Barrie Home Inspector " link to http://napoleon.cc. Looks like you need some new IBLs. Lucky for you your competition is weak!
I think webfu was referring to making 'Barrie Home Inspector' your anchor text in your signature (apologies webfu if I'm wrong). You say you've changed it, but it still reads the same at the moment. Take that advice, because anchor text will be your friend. You need as many links as you can get that read, Barrie Home Inspector - and just like that with your phrase as the anchor text. Also, I'd change your page title to read exactly the same (at the moment it's 'barrie home professional real estate inspector'), and I'd get the main bulk of your content to be read first by the search engines. Right now, if you look at your source code, it's 90% page structure, and the last 10% is your information. Get that info up the top so it can be read first. You've got a nice, text heavy, webpage there with lots of opportunity to get the phrase you want. You're number 4 for allinanchor: 'barrie....', and you've only got one reported backlink from Google. Be number one for the allinanchor phrase, and get a lot more links. Links and anchor text. Rinse and repeat. Good luck, Phlegm...
Johnson your sig is still wrong. Read what Phlegm is trying to convey. Maybe that will help a bit more.
Ha ha, I live in Innisfil, what are the chances? You would do better to using adwords and overture targeted via geo demographics (searchers in local area) rather than fretting over SEO. Hook up some real easte keywords and pay big bucks per click. I can get you ranked in the top ten in under 2 months for your search term if you want to chat some more.
Thanks, changed signature. Should I add some more like Barrie Property Inspector or just leave it as is? Also changed title as advised. Roger
Your sig is looking good now. I noticed your new title on the website is using all lower case. Thats not very attractive when you're looking at a page title on a SERP. I would suggest - Barrie Home Inspector - Napolean Home Inspections Since 1999
I found this thread based on a Barrie search the other day on Google. I thought hey I know that forum! Think I was looking for the Barrie Winterfest I pm'd you back some advice. Please keep to yourself. Maybe you can come by and tell me what to do about a moisture problem in my basement backroom.
