I just finished my 3 month term around a month ago with my SEO guy I
hired from India, and the results I got out of it was less than what I
expected. At first, I was around rank 9 or 10 in my most popular
keyword, and now, I am around rank 7 in the same keyword. It is not too
much of a difference, and it has been around 4-5 months since I first
hired him. I was expecting more of being in the top 3 positions for my
shortlisted 15 keywords.
SEO Tasks that he did was:
On Page Optimization:
Creating Content (keyword density)
Meta Tags, Sitemap, H1 header, etc.
Keyword Target Pages
Website Analysis (Load time, alt tags)
Off Page Optimization:
One Way Inbound links (150 Links, many which are PR0 and PR1)
Manual Submission to Search Engines
Directory Submission (30)
Article Creation and Submission (2 Articles, 10 directories)
Video Creation and Submission (1)
DMOZ Directory
I paid ,000 for the services above.
1. Should I pursue my SEO with him, knowing that every month he can
bring me 40 inbound links for 0 a month, and will that bring my
ranking to a higher position? I would still want to target being in the
top5 in my major keywords.
2. I have another website that is very similar to the site that was just
optimized, more like a site offering the exact same products, but just a
different design of the website. Should I have that site optimized as
well? FYI, both of the sites are under the same webhost, if that should
matter.
Thanks in advance to everyone!
