Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Gary,

Thank you for your response. They charge £650 or $1000 per day.

Hi,

We are searching for a new SEO provider for www.compoundsecurity.co.uk and I notice that some SEO providers are now billing against results rather than days spent doing the work.

Considering the high prices and lack of work done for those fees by current provider, this is of interest to me.

Does anyone have experience of working this way and or have any advice please?

Thank you

Chers Paul,

Their MD /president is adamant that it is fair. Worked out at £240 or $360

What happened to a fair price for hard work in the online world.... Or anywhere else for that matter.

I appreciate your time Paul.

Regards

Si

Thank you Chris.

As  i thought. I just did it myself and it took 2 mins.

Cheers

Hi All,

I have just had a bill from our webmaster / SEO provider for 3 hours work to embed two youtube video clips on to one page of our site (http://www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/raidervision-visual-verification-module-use-rdas-and-vx-gprs-wireless-security-systems)

Now i am not an HTML programmer, but i have the ability to insert HTML code in to our eBay pages to embed videos where i want them on a page and it takes less than a minute.

Would love to get feedback from several people on how long this should have taken. Is it really anywhere near 3 hours work. Everything else on the page was already there.

If it means anything, the site is done in Apach

Cheers

Thank you Wissam,

I will give it a try today.

Oh and i added a couple of extra internal links

Hi Wissam,

I changed the title, H1 tag, description and the entire copy of the page.

Hi all,

I hope there is a search guru out there who can assist with this.

I decided 3 months ago that our SEO contractors weren't doing as well as they should be and after long discussion, i reoptimised all pages myself. Most are performing better now but sales and enquiries went through the floor.

I have today found ranking information from the week before i made the changes, something i thought i had lost. Now i have this, i have found that one of the two main pages has gone from position 1 to position 38. This explains the problem.

I know all things are not equal and in the intervening months, competitors have updated their sites and links, however, this is the security sector and things don't change much, so, all things being equal, would reinstating the old version of the page be likely to reinstate my previous ranking position or thereabouts? or will the MIGHTY GOOGLE punish me in some way for swapping back to a previous page version?

We use a CMS system and all revisions are stored.

The page in question is www.compoundsecurity.co.uk/security-equipment and the keyword in question is 'wireless alarms'.

Any help will be greatly appreciated by this non SEO plebe.

Cheers

Si

P.S. feel free to berate me for not recording all pertinent info about rankings BEFORE i star playing around with the site. It was my first time and i have well and truly learn my lesson.

Rock on Robert!!!!

THank you very much for your reply. I had discussed changing the URL but our webmaster said you shouldn't change URLs. What's the downside to that?

In actual fact i have very little idea of what i am doing. I'm 48 and not involved in SEO at all. I have just got sooo fed up of paying £500 ($750) per day for SEO services that produce no results, so i am on a fast learning curve.

All advice is appreciated.

Oh, and the links to the home page happened organically with no involvement by us. Just a very controversial product lol.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for your reply. I am getting real people like you telling me one thing and the SEO college tutor telling me another. Personally i can see benefits in both. I like to see the key information in the title like it is at the moment. My other side that refuses to use text speak and enjoys the written word likes a flowing title.

I am going to leave it until this time next week, collect the analytics and then change style and repeat for a week and see what works best.

Have a good weekend and i always appreciate advice.

I am just getting in to social media for my company and i can find an answer to my questions. Different people give a different answer.

Question: i have written a post and uploaded it to our Google+ page. If i upload the same post / content to our Facebook page, will this fall foul of the 'duplicate content' rule with Penguin? Or does that rule only relate to websites?

Any Guru's out there with an answer?

Much appreciated.
