FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - Answered!
Q. Can you guarantee to get my web site listed on page one of Google, or other major search engines?
A. I cannot make such guarantees, as search engine ranking is constantly moving up and down. There are also people using 'Black Hat' SEO methods, that get websites page one positioning, and no amount of expert SEO can currently get past these. It is hoped that Google and the other main search engines will soon enforce an algorithm to detect these malicious practices. However, my sole aim is to get you far higher search engine ranking than you currently have.
Q. Will my website show high search engine ranking immediately?
A. This is unlikely, although some websites that I have worked on have surprised me by the speed that they have picked up. On average, one cannot expect to see much movement in search engine positioning within the first month of optimising. There are many reasons behind this, one being it just takes time, another is that online directories that will give you the link backs to increase your search engine rankings, will sometimes not list you for several weeks or even months. Some may not list you at all, for various reasons. They are mostly 'human edited' directories that I submit your website to, thus again, time is the factor here. Most search engines will start indexing your pages immediately, but again it takes time for the ranking increase to start taking effect. Be patient, and you will be pleasantly surprised when your ranking starts to climb and your website traffic increases.
Q. Can you design or re-design my web site for me?
A. I am not a website designer, however, I do know some good web site designers, and can put you in contact with one should you wish to contact me.
Q. Is it true that older websites can get higher ranking after optimisation faster than a nice shiny brand new website?
A. Yes, this can be true, especially with Google. An older, 'authority' site, after good optimization, will usually rise faster in search engine ranking and positioning than a new site with equally good optimization. Google usually 'Sandboxes' new sites.
Q. The price you quoted me for basic website optimisation was very reasonable; however I don't have any funds right now. Can I pay you after I see results?
A. Due to the very nature of this work (Once I've gained you good results, I can't take them back), and because a few unscrupulous clients didn't pay, and never intended to pay, resulting in me having to take them to court, I cannot accept payment after service. I can only start working on your website once your payment has been received in full.
Q. How can I pay you? I live on the other side of the world!
A. No problem. You can send your payment via International bank transfer, or pay via secure online wallets such as PayPal, MoneyBookers, AlertPay or Neteller. If you have difficulty sending payment, please contact me to discuss alternative options.
Q. Can you teach me how to do this SEO optimization thingy myself?
A. Most definitely not. I paid for my courses to learn what I know and put into practice now. It cost a lot of time and money to get where I am today, as well as for paying for expensive software, and continuous software updates, as well as keeping on top of the constant changes that happen with search engine algorithyms. However, if you wish to go it alone, I can recommend a good course that you can pay for and study online at home, if you contact me.
Q. Can you run a Google Adwords pay per click campaign for me this month, and I'll pay you next month for it?
A. Most definitely not. Google adwords campaigns, along with most of my services require payment in advance of service being undertaken. If you sign up for several different services with me, then we may be able to reach some agreement where payment can be made in stages, if you contact me to discuss.
Q. You replied to me saying my site was already well optimised, and you couldn't do any further on-page optimization for it. However, I would now like to start up a blog but don't know how. Can you just set that up for me without me having to order any other services?
A. Yes, you can order one or all of my services, please contact me again to discuss your online blogging requirements.
Q. Can you teach me about html?
A. I'm sorry, I am not a teacher, I do search engine optimization, website promotions and online marketing. However, should you wish me to provide you with sites that offer online help in learning html, just contact me.
Q. I made a short video about my online business, but I don't know what to do with it. Can you get it onto these social networking sites that you mentioned?
A. Yes, just contact me for details and pricing of my video marketing and social networking promotions.
Q. You say you live in Cyprus. My website has Cyprus related content, and I would like to attract some Cyprus businesses to place paid advertising on my site, can you help with this?
A. Yes, I can undertake to get various Cyprus businesses to advertise on your site. However, I cannot guarantee any number of advertisers, as this will depend on various aspects of your web site i.e. web site content, web traffic stats, website design etc. Please contact me to discuss.
Q. We are launching a competition on our website, could you write and distribute a press release about it?
A. Yes, I would be happy to. This is a fantastic way to increase visitors to your website. Please contact me to discuss the content and target market for your press release.
Q. My web hosting service is really bad for downtime, can you help?
A. I do not offer web hosting services, however, I can recommend the hosting company that is hosting this web site for free. Just contact me for further details.
Q. I live in USA, my website is hosted in USA, but my product is mainly targeted at UK residents. Can any of your services help me get to my target audience?
A. Most definitely. There are many things I can do to help to gain your UK online visibility. Please contact me for further details.
Q. What would you like for Christmas?
A. Half of Michael Jackson's estate would do me nicely.
