I use a program called WebPositionGold by MarketMySite.com. I discovered it
from a local company that was charging for search engine placement. About 2
years ago they guaranteed 1st page placement in 13 weeks on the search
engines. I don't know if they still make that claim now since the market is
constantly changing. I can say the progam has worked for me in the past and
has educated me on different algorythms that are needed for the search
engines. For example, how relevant is the body of text related to your
subject - do you have too many words or too little words that contain the
body of your website that you are trying to promote, the title needs between
3 to 5 words, there are a limited number of keywords that are allowed before
you are penalized, in the description tag how relevant is your keyword or
how close is it to the beginning. There are so many factors in the
algorythm that I cannot explain. But, the program has a page critic that
tells you what you need to change in your coding to be more relevant to the
search engines. It submits the pages for you to each search engine, keeping
in mind you only allowed to promote 3 pages per day before getting
peanlized. It keeps a record for you showing your page placement throughout
the process and tells you when you need to submit again. And after reading
their book, you'll learn to design certain pages targeting certain keywords.
I've designed targeting keyword pages recently and haven't noticed a big
change, but slowly and surely it's happening. I don't know if the search
engines aren't recognizing subfolders or if I have to submit each page
individually. But, anyways I could go on and on about the program. I can
say it has worked for me in the past, and I am utilizing it today until I
find something else that does a better job. I hope with enough attention to
my website this year, I can come back and tell you I am number 1 on every
keyword I have targeted.
