Companies Ignoring SEO Advice!

[cwag]

Hi folks. New to the forums.

I run my own small web design and development business, and will always brief clients on seo before beginning their sites.

One of the main points I emphasize is relevant text, or any(!) text in some cases. I can find it very frustrating when people require websites, and either don't have content ready for them, or expect someone else to write it for them (and not have to pay for it). Then of course, when their websites don't do so well in the search engines, suddenly they're asking questions.

I see there are a lot of web folk on here... does anyone else experience this problem?

My clients are usually not to keen to invest money in online marketing, and also, even though at a glance there's not too much content on your site, there is, at least, something.

So how i have i got to no1 out 11million because i don't know

Also, it's the fact that if a visitor is coming to a site, and there's very little info on both the company and product/services, it's hardly inspiring.

you're teasing us right?
you know exactly what you are doing:

purchased links and everything

[Boro97]

i haven't bought any links what so ever all i spent is £299 for the site to be built and also i know nothing about seo and much at all about computers only had 1 for 2 years now , its a serious question i know i don't have much content so why is it no1

[cwag]

where abouts are you in Google, Boro?

Your pagerank was 2/10.

[peterjhale]

right OK then, you have some good friends then

your buddies on the wholesale forum and related sites have provided you with some good links

the reason you rank high are:

- lots of good links from many related sites
- good onpage SEO eg: "designer clothes" in your <title> and description and "onpage"

if you have stumbled on this then well done.

Just continue this.

because that term gets thousands of searches a day so I suspect you get a lot of traffic from this?
