Seo Done Right The First Time - Ya Right!!

I was checking some of my competition today and I noticed a recurring theme running rampant among them. First of all their sites were very nicely laid out and very professional looking. Next thing I noticed was a lot of bragging about experience, education and references. Sounds good so far right? Keep reading...

The next thing I noticed were the prices. $175 and hour in more than one case. Big money wouldn't you say? But finally, and this is what bugged me, I noticed this: "We do your seo right THE FIRST TIME so you don't need regular maintenance." This statement just smacks of BS. It's a sure sign that these folks aren't real seo's. Let me explain and I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Imagine this scenario: over the course of time people discover valuable keywords like "Cheap Car Insurance." Lots of people begin to realize that ranking in position one in google for this term could earn you thousands each day. Lot's of people hire seo companies to seo their site. Each company "does it right the first time" and does absolutely maintenance. Tell me now how they are all going to rank number one?

Well I guess if you shoot for non competitive keywords (that bring no traffic to speak of) then an seo expert could "do it right the first time" but that's not the scenario I outlined. I'm talking about real money keywords. Competitive keywords. The answer is an seo has to keep fighting for your keywords day in and day out for a long time before you'll conquer that keyword. There is no such thing as "doing it right the first time."

So if your seo guy promises to get it right the first time, ask him to rank you for "credit cards" and see what he says.
