There has been a lot of talk regarding our money back guarantee. In fact, we have been flooded with people contacting us and asking whether it is true. After all, people have learned on the Internet that “if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”

That’s not the case with SEO Business Solutions or our money back guarantee. The way it works is really simple:

You make a six month commitment to our full SEO and linkbuilding services.

We make a commitment to position your website on the first page of search results for the keywords we target.

At the end of six months:

1. If your website does not have a measurable increase in traffic, or
2. If your website does not have a measurable increase in traffic to lead conversions, or
3. If your website does not have a measurable increase in lead to sales conversions,

We will give you a full refund!

In addition, the results we will achieve will be gotten in such a way that your website will remain on the first page of search results as long as you don’t engage in any tactics that violate Google’s and Yahoo/Bing’s guidelines. If you should engage in any of those tactics, the guarantee will be voided.

We will not use any tactics that will place your website at risk of being banned or blacklisted by Google. We will take care of your online reputation and actually help to improve it.

We ask for a six-month commitment from you because we only use ethical, white hat SEO. Since we only use ethical methods, you will not see immediate results. You are going to see results over time, with each month’s campaigns building on the work done the previous month.

Since the results are achieved over time, you will begin to see your website gain considerable ground for the targeted keywords after about six weeks.

No, our money back guarantee is not too good to be true. We are so certain of the results we can achieve that we guarantee our work or your money back!

PageRank is actually  a term named after Google co-founder Lawrence “Larry” Page. PageRank is the foundation of the algorithm Google uses to estimate the importance of a page on the web.

In essence, PageRank is based on the idea that a link from website A to website B is a vote of trust for website B. Therefore, the higher the number of links going to a website, the higher the chance that the website is important to other websites.

A website can have no PageRank and still get high placement in search results. However, all things being equal, the website that has a higher trust factor (higher number of votes) will generally end up higher in search results.

As the name implies, SEM is the process of marketing your brand, services or products via search engines. There are two main pillars into which SEM is divided: PPC (Pay Per Click advertising) and SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

A short explanation of the two main SEM components:

If you use PPC, you purchase ads (such as Google AdWords) in search engines and potential customers click on your ads. Your sales process converts these clicks into leads and then the leads are converted into sales.

SEO is used to optimize each of your web pages so that they comply with the guidelines set up by the search engines. The keywords you used in optimizing your web page would then appear in organic (non-paid) search results.

Next time: PageRank

If you have been trying to figure out how to keep up with search engine algorithm changes so that your website can rank on the first page of search results for your chosen keywords, you are going about it all wrong.

Were you aware that Google made over 500 changes to its search algorithm last year?

The only way you could have stayed ahead of the changes that Google made to its algorithm last year was to work for Google!

There are too many people looking to manipulate search results rather than concentrating on presenting a great website or page for Google to index and rank.

If you are trying to manipulate search results, it is only a matter of time before you are discovered, and the results are not pretty. We have seen websites disappear from search results altogether after being black listed by Google.

Therefore, don’t risk your reputation or website by using unethical or black hat SEO practices. Follow the guidelines established by the search engines, and you will rank your website for your chosen keywords.

Yes, it is really that simple!

The three steps to obtaining the search results you want are:

1) Proper optimization of your website.

2) Great, quality, original, and updated content on your website that is directly related to the keywords you want to rank for.

3) Lots of inbound links with your keywords in the anchor text.

Graph Showing First Page Rank Gain Over Time

That’s the formula, and you should not let anyone deceive you into thinking that there is any other ETHICAL way to get to the top of search results.

The graph on the left is an actual case study of a website we worked on gaining first page search results for chosen keywords over time. In November, the website was ranking on the first page of search results for less than 20 keywords.

The website owner contacted SEO Business Solutions, we came up with a plan to get the website to rank for its chosen keywords, and we began implementing the plan. By the seventh month, the website was ranking on the first page of search results for over 80 chosen keywords.

It was all done through ethical, white hat SEO, implementing our proprietary ranking method. The website began receiving targeted traffic ready to buy the product, brand or service!

At SEO Business Solutions, we follow this simple formula for our customers, and we help their websites get to the first page of search results. We have done it again and again, and we will continue to do it, despite the many algorithm updates.

In fact, we are so confident that our way is the right way that we have a money back guarantee if your website does not achieve first page search results for your chosen keywords!

Local Optimization by SEO Business Solutions:

Local Optimization can pay of big if it is done right!

It seems as if getting first page rankings in organic search results has gotten much more complex due to ever-changing search engine algorithms. In fact, staying on top of all the changes made by search engines has become a full-time job for many SEO companies.

Did you know that Google made over 500 changes to its search algorithm last year alone?

Most website owners simply do not have the time to stay abreast of all these changes. In today’s economy, most website owners do not have the resources to employ a full Internet marketing staff to stay on top of all of the changes and apply them to the website.

But why change your website every time a search engines changes its algorithm?

If you are manipulating search engines, they will figure out your game sooner or later, and you will be penalized big for it! We have been contacted by companies who have seen their entire Internet presence disappear after someone from Google manually checked to see whether the company website merited its first page placement in search results.

Unfortunately, these companies hired so-called SEO experts who engaged in black hat tactics to manipulate search results. Most website owners now understand the necessity of appearing on the first page of search results, but they don’t understand the process, and they allow themselves to be deceived into thinking that very short term results (within a week or two) can be achieved ethically.

However, anyone who understand SEO knows that top search results can only be achieved over time. Ethical, or white hat SEO, is a time-consuming process, which is why Fortune 500 companies and market leaders spend millions of dollars annually to achieve top search results.

Local Optimization is part of a good SEO strategy:

At SEO Business Solutions, we never advocate trying to manipulate search engines. We will always follow the guidelines set forth by Yahoo/Bing and Google when working on any website.

Part of our strategy - and a faster way to see results – is to geo-target to a specfic market and audience, this will give your website that must-have visibility in geo-targeted organic search engine results.

More over, we will guide you in creating unique content that is regularly updated (including Ezine articles), customer testimonials, tagged photos and videos. Ranking well for a geo-targeted area will ensure that you build a solid customer base for your product and/or services.

Does this still seem like a lot of work?

Our team at SEO Business Solutions can take care of every aspect of your Internet strategy, including geo-targeting, and we will guarantee you a first page ranking on one of the major search engines.  Try to find another SEO company that will guarantee you ethical or white hat optimization and a first page ranking in search results for your chosen niche!

A backlink is also commonly known as an inbound link coming from another website to your website. A hyperlink is placed on some other internet property (website, blog, ezine, etc.), and it is pointed back to your website.

For best results, the backlink should contain the keyword you are optimizing for in the anchor text.

There are two types of inbound links: nofollow and dofollow links. It has been said that nofollow links are virtually useless since link juice is not passed along from the website where it is place to your website. However, this is a misguided thought since any relevant link is worthwhile. In fact, you might be better off having a few nofollow links from high authority websites than having one hundred dofollow links from websites recently created.

For SEO purposes, search engines gauge the popularity of your website from the number of links coming into your website. An inbound link is like a vote for your website, so the higher the amount of inbound links, the more votes your websites has as a reliable source.

Inbound links affect your webiste’s PageRank and its position in the search results. However, if you have a million inbound links with the same anchor text, you will be penalized by the search engines for link spamming.

SEO Business Solutions has a proprietary link building system that establishes a natural pattern so that your website is not penalized by search engines. Instead, your website is rewarded for being trustworthy through high search results.

Search engine marketing is actually composed of two different parts, SEO and PPC. As you know, SEO is short for Search Engine Optimization, which is the process of optimizing websites to make pages appear in organic search results.
