   I agree with “working 2 hard”. SEO is not rocket science.

   The guys over at StomperNet have helped me a lot. They think there’s no website that can’t be improved by their free SEO course:

   I thought I was safe until I signed up for the course and started applying it to my sites. I think they know more about this stuff than I do. I probably would have paid a lot for this.

   Here are some SEO basics how to advertise and to drive traffic to your site:

   - Post blogs on any social media networks (facebook, myspace, etc..) about your website. And also, to any known blog sites.
   - Submit articles to any article sites.
   - Social bookmarking. Bookmark your site (@ socialmarker.com)
   - Submit your website to search engine directory.
   - Use keywords liberally on your site as long as they are relevant.
   - Reciprocal linking.

   But if you really want others do this for you, I suggest you visit the site below. They can help you, as what you have asked. Best of luck.

   I’ve used a small business seo specialist that is located in Westminster, Colorado. I’m not sure where you are, but check out their website and perhaps contact them. It’s located at http://www.studio119.com.

   Before even considering the hiring of an SEO consultant, you may want to read the following definitive tutorial on exactly how SEO metatags are designed and implemented.

   The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
   to first set up a website and publish its domain name
   on major search directories such as Google.com,
   Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
   MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
   search directories to provide them with goods and
   services. In a sense, these search directories are a
   very large Internet Yellow Pages.

   Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
   fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
   such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
   your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
   in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

   A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
   is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
   the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
   graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

   Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
   are unable to properly classify textual material.

   Placement of Metatags:

   A ranking or search order does take place with Google
   and Yahoo and it begins with the “Title” metag which
   should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
   by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic
   terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
   from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
   The placement of a domain name which is not generic
   within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
   domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

   The second metatag is the “Description” which is
   usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
   best describes one’s goods and services.

   And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
   somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
   and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
   which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
   is defined as the loading, and submission of
   repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
   “Spamdexing” when discovered on a webpage and reported
   to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
   elimination of your website from their search
   directory.

   Good luck!

   Hang on… most of these answers are really off base. No, SEO is not rocket science (either is developing), but it is deep and complex. DON’T TRIVIALIZE IT!!!!! If you want to be baseline optimized than do it on your own, but don’t expect to be any better off than the millions of people that do street level optimization themselves! Everyone does SEO today. It’s a household channel now.

   But if you want real good results, hire a good brand consultant who not only contributes to the SEO industry and blogs, can prove their worth. Not developers who do SEO. Not fly by night guys. Pure SEO only consultants will give you the real bang for your buck. Oh, and software doesn’t do it. Never fall for that. Don’t get tricked.

   Get an SEO consultant that focuses on small business.
