Important questions to ask you next web site Search Engine Optimisation company

Many web site owners see the services of an Search Engine Optimisation company as an easy way to a load of long term affordable website promotion services. If you are about to appoint an expert to help you Search Engine Optimisation your web site, then you need to know what they are going to do. After all, you are certainly paying quite a lot of money for these services. But what are the right questions to ask?

Most Search Engine Optimisation experts will start with the web site review and make the changes. As long as that’s completed, there’s not much to ask about. Where most of the money is spent is in the long term on link building and that’s where some dirty work can come into play from the less reputable experts.

Ask your proposed Search Engine Optimisation company what type of link building they will be tell you posting to blogs and article writing. If they are posting to blogs, ask who’s blogs. Make sure they are not just leaving spammy comments on blogs. If article writing, who is writing the text and how much effort do they put into making sure the articles are published with the links in place? You both have a vested interest in making sure this works. Ask to see some references of these for previous customers and if they say they can’t because of confidentiality, be suspicious.

Some Search Engine Optimisation experts will depend mainly or totally on some form of web site link exchanges. This is where you must be cautious. You should ask how they find web sites who are willing to put the links on their web site. There will be two answers, either they are paid links or they are reciprocal links.

If they are a paid links, then they should be responsible for making sure that the web site link stays live for the agreed duration. The concern is if they are reciprocal links. If you are not having the link placed in your web site, where is the link going and how are they finding these web sites?

This is where some sneaky work can come in to play. Some Search Engine Optimisation experts have lists of web site that accept automated link exchanges. These third party web site think they are reciprocal linking to your web site, but eventually notice large numbers of inbound links from the same useless directory with outgoing links to different web site. All you are actually paying for is for them to submit your links via an automated script. Quite often they don’t even bother to submit you to the correct pages within the web site’s links directory. Not only does this mean you aren’t on a themed page, but it is also wrecking the web site owner’s links directory.

So how can you spot those experts with dubious links building against those with better reciprocal link building? Again, ask them for some references of where they have placed links for customers and ask them where they provide the reciprocal link back. Again, be wary of those experts not willing to tell you – they are probably hiding something.

Once you know where they place links to other web sites, have a look around the web site. Does it have a home page? Is the web site listed in search engines? If not, then there’s a dubious practice or two in their outgoing links. Are there lots of near identical pages on this web site of theirs? Have a look on the web sites that are linked to and see if you can spot where their customers’ links are. Are they all on the same page or are they categorized?

Be very wary about how your paid Search Engine Optimisation company runs a link building campaign for your web site, otherwise it could be a very expensive way to get a lot of useless links. And if you are looking for more tips to get traffic to website, then don’t forget to check out the blog!
