search engine optimization

[SweetVoice]

Has anyone every heard of search engine optimization. My web designer mentioned it and wants to charge me about 75.00 one time fee to get in. I think he called it Blazer something or other.
First he said it was about 30.00...then went up on the price.
Can someone fill me in? thanks

OMG... that's the funniest attempt at a CDBS I've seen in a while! :D


What's your website SweetVoice? $75 sounds like a cheap quote! Show us the current site he has to work with.


PS. got a pic? ; -))

What is a CDBS?

[Opti]

Golly! Doncha hate it when people answer your questions with a question!

i think he needs some guide..$75 is fine but it's better if you can post here the link to your site.

First off - this thread will probably get moved over to the SE forum

What he's talking about is Traffic Blazer which retails for about $30 - its a "traffic manager" and is just another tool to get yourself banned from search engines

If someone tells you that you need SEO on a site you might want to read Googles SEO page
http://www.google.com/webmasters/seo.html
You can get most of the info you really need to rank well in SEs right here in our search engine forum - just start reading

As others have mentioned - its best to post your URL if you want some free advice

[SweetVoice]

Thanks, Linkster for the info. I am researching the situation now.
I am new to some of this and appreciate the understanding of someone who sidesteps the arrogance and really is interested in helping.
I called GoDaddy to verify Traffic Blazer and they said it's perfectly fine . They said it shouldn't be a problem. I will keep investigating before I go further.
BTW...my url is

Pardon me for not realizing I had to post it.
Thanks again for your kindness.

SweetVoice - didnt mean you *had* to post the url - it just helps for us to look and give free advice :)

As far as GoDaddy - that wouldnt be where the problem would come in - the real problem is the Search Engines themselves - Most of them really do not like the auto submission process and advise against using that type of software - the old fashioned manual method of submitting works much better - of course the best method of getting listed in search engines is to have other web sites link to yours (and its free) :)

Of course your site is already listed in Google so getting submitted is kind of a moot point - the next thing to get it to rank well for the keywords and search terms is first to decide what you want to show up for - then the "optimizing" part of the website could start :) and there's plenty of help here to get it started

My apologies SweetVoice.. I thought you had an alterior motive with your first post ;)

Glad Linkster was here to help properly!

Btw.. CDBS = Covert Drive By Spam
(someone who runs around all the boards, acting like they want information.. or making up a lame question to encourage discussion about a product they want to promote)

They aren't gonna tell you not to buy the product they are selling. :)

But seriously, Linkster gave you some great advice, and you can learn enough about seo here and there. Goodluck.

[SweetVoice]

Of course it did cross my mind that GoDaddy wouldn't slam Traffic Blazer..LOL.
I told my web guy to just forget the whole SEO thing.
What I will do is make a link page and start doing more recip. links. If anyone is interested, let me know.
Check my site to see if we can both benefit.
Thanks all.

A good start is to go ahead sign up for a pimppay.com account and start sending traffic and getting paid 50% comm on all converting leads frmo your site. This way we will have u link and you can some money out of it. Also, cross link with xxx and xxx

Thanks
