    Thank you.

    .htaccess file?

    Thanks Stefan, but I need for this to happen. If it's outside of my realm of knowledge then I guess I'll either have to have it done or actually learn something new. Old dog - new tricks syndrome.

    .htaccess file?

    It certainly would seem to be, but using http://www.allmetalsales.com/aluminum-sheet.html gets you there but using http://www.allmetalsales.com/aluminum-sheet.html/ does not. I have other sites where it "does" work, but not this one. I can't figure out the difference. Yup. That's already part...

    .htaccess file?

    I want "http://www.mysite.com/blue-widgets.html/" to resolve to "http://www.mysite.com/blue-widgets.html". Is that done in a .htaccess file or is it a separate script?

    Need a tutorial

    If html is what you want to work with get "HTML For Dummies". If css is what you need get "CSS for Dummies". Most half price book stores will have used copies. You can also get used copies on eBay.

    Blog marketing and promotion

    I don't currently have a blog, but I do know that you can optimize it to rank for specific keyword phrases just like any other site. PPC will certainly give you exposure if you want to pay the costs. Wayzata eh? I used to live in long lake.

    html email marketing

    Do a Google search for 'articles about email marketing'. I see tons of em. I think that the advantage of visual impact outweighs the possibility of a few people who have images turned off. Just my opinion of course.

    How much time..

    Most folks see the term "ranking " and think of how high their site might rank in the returns. PR has not that much to do with how high you rank for a certain term. I outrank many sites with lots higher PR pages than mine. It's the targeted link text that counts. But yes, PR is supposed to be an...

    Looking for help to set the keyword for website!!

    Yeah, and the #1 site only has 115,268 targeted text backlinks. Yup. That's because longtails are most often a more targeted search. They seem to have a higher conversion rate. Here's the free version of what I consider the best program for keyword research...

    Google Ads

    I have in the past managed PPC campaigns for clients while building good generic rankings. One thing I noticed over time was that lots more people will click on the generic returns than the paid ads. (positioning being equal) I see some companies doing both SEO successfully and doing PPC along...

    dealing with clients

    Simple. Just tell her that you can't afford to work for $xx an hour. Ask her how much per hour she makes. If it's $20 per hour ask her if she would do the same work for $7 per hour. After training sales people for 20 years I can tell you that a good percentage of people will ask for a deal. It's...

    Yes... $7000 is pretty pricey but if you just take the design and duplicate it your boss is probably going to run into some legal problems. Tread carefully.

    Link exchange FAQ's

    Sure they still help. Just not as much as they used to. I said that they were "devalued" not disregarded.

    Optimized a website with 15 keywords

    Now that this old thread has been reopened and because it is important, I will jump in. idaba it really depends of the competitiveness of the phrases you are trying to rank for. In a very competitive arena I would not use more than 2 or 3 per page. Your index (home) page will be the easiest to...

    Meta?

    Shmit: The site isn't all that bad, but your call. Always put the title tag first in the head so it's the first thing the spiders see. Next is the description tag. Use it to describe what the page is all about. Don't try to stuff it with keywords. Make it readable and interesting. Next should be...

    Role of Meta Title Tag in SEO

    Well... In that the title tag is the actual link you click on to reach a page from the search engine results .. yes. But the tag itself is not visible to the surfer looking at your actual site. No. Unless your company name is the term you want to rank for. Otherwise it just dilutes the...

    Traffic help!

    What documentation can you provide to substantiate that statement? I just have to clear this up. I know it's a language barrier thing but: You use only ONE strategy that you develop. What I think that your trying to convey is "components" of the strategy. Also I noticed that all the top 10...

    Link exchange FAQ's

    No. It will just open another page for the link destination. Although it looks like directory links have been devalued by Google, they will still help. Just not as much as they used to.
