Yellow Pages Denver, CO Review

8 August, 2010 (14:34) | Business Reviews | By: admin

Sean Hakes the owner of Denver SEO Consulting Agency – Sean Hakes, Inc recently blogged about the pitfalls of YellowPages.com a AT&T Interactive company. Here’s a quick snippet that might just help your business save thousands by avoiding YellowPages.com. You can read the entire YellowPages.com Review here.

Small Business Owners know me for my honest reviews. Ready or not – here’s my official review of YellowPages.com.

YellowPages.com who is also known as YP or AT&T Interactive is better known as an online yellow pages business directory – for business owners it’s a service that’s filled with open ended advertising promises that will quickly drain your advertising budget or even your completely sabotage your business from very little ineffective results.

As a Digital Advertising & Media buyer I will no longer recommend YellowPages.com to any of our advertisers or any small businesses – period. Their crafty sales tactics combined with a long term contract are the exact tools that YellowPages.com rely on to lock into your cash while delivering less than desirable results – you can take that to the bank.

Lucky for our advertisers, our media buying services come with a full in-house legal counsel representation that is designed to act as a buffer from less than ethical businesses practices like that of YellowPages.com.

Here’s where it gets personal:

One of our clients were snickered into a stealthy contract that was based on exceptional results expectations that were almost too good to be true; and they were.

I got involved by sending Deann Mayeda, the Press and Media Contact for AT&T Interactive briefly telling her about my client’s dissatisfaction.

Organic SEO: From Boulder to Wyoming to Nation Wide SEO

25 July, 2010 (15:46) | Uncategorized | By: admin

Organic SEO like the recent product released by Yodle is the need of the day. The Organic SEO technique is used by many Boulder SEO companies and Wyoming SEO as a strategy to attract potential searchers and to list the website among top search engine. On the other hand Search engine optimization (Colorado SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results.

Organic SEO is content driven most of the time and therefore strategic use of content becomes important. The content is created in such way in the form of blogs, articles, etc that it is the content which attracts the people. Strategic linking on the content page indirectly helps to generates more clicks on the page and on the link.

Content is not only the determining factor for attracting more and more people. Keywords and Meta tags on the other hand play an equivalent role. Correct keywords and phrasing will go a long way for the higher ranking of the website as more and more information seekers are searching for rich, new and original information.

Search Engine first

It becomes extremely important for the website companies to write content for the search engine first and then Humans. Many of the website make the mistake of doing it vice-versa and therefore fail to be listed among the top search engines. Making content first keeping in mind the search engine requirements such as keywords, Meta tags, phrases, etc helps in a long run because this would give a chance to be seen on the internet and among the top search list. If you are found there then for sure you are to be found by people too. As people click the first few links which appears in front of them on the top search engine.

Organic SEO used by Denver SEO companies should include three main things i.e.

• Strategy
• Keywords
• Execution

Without this SEO company has a right to claim itself Organic!

Technology and Content

The best thing comes with Organic SEO is that you don’t have to pay to the search engines to enlist your website among the top names which appear on the screen. That happens in the case of pay per click strategy whereby you have to pay for your positioning. Organic SEO on the other hand use the provision of white hat as well as black hats i.e. content and technology respectively. Both of which encourages enriching results.

It is an organic and natural effect that appears everywhere in our world

Organic SEO is a natural and effective way for webmasters to grow their links and rankings. Articles and blogs are two special tools we can use to further that natural growth. Strategic use of such techniques helps build a strong base to attract maximum traffic on your website and ultimately the success of your marketing strategy. Build your links and rankings the natural way.

iClick Creative Drives Innovation Through iClick Chatback Services – High ROI Lead Generation

28 June, 2010 (17:01) | Company News | By: admin

Lakewood, CO., – June 27, 2010 – iClick Creative, LLC., a Colorado based Local Internet Advertising Company announced today the official launch of it’s iClick Chatback Service, a Live, Interactive Sales Representative right on your webpage – here’s the official release…

Live, interactive sales representatives – right on your webpage! Dramatically increase your companies’ conversion rates, and only pay for the quality leads delivered to your doorstep. iClick Chatback is finally here….
A strong online presence in today’s marketplace is quickly becoming an absolute requirement for a business’ success. Recent surveys show that approximately 92% of all consumers research products and services online before purchasing them in stores. It seems there are only two types of businesses left: Those going online, and those going under.

At iClick Creative, we ensure that each of our clients have professional and functional websites to appeal to customers and generate interest. Next, we put the website in front of millions of viewers through the use of groundbreaking SEO and online marketing techniques. Through this process, our clients receive attention from huge volumes of qualified buyers with industry-leading conversion rates. While this process has proven to be extremely effective, we wanted to find ways to take client conversion rates to the next level. After months of hard work and research, we are proud to say we have found a solution with dramatic results.
iClick Creative is proud to announce a new service being offered to our clients starting July 1, 2010 – iClick Chatback.

How iClick Chatback works: Imagine a qualified potential customer who is looking for a professional roofer in the Denver area. The customer conducts a search through Google and finds your website, right on the front page. The customer opens your website and starts reviewing your “About Us” page, but he or she still has more questions about your companies’ qualifications and experience.

With a slew of other roofing companies available on the web, the customer simply returns to Google and browses for another roofing company instead of calling to request more information about your company. Situations like this happen far too often simply because, much like a physical retail store, many potential customers are hesitant to reach out to ask for assistance unless it is offered to them (generally in the form of a sales representative). Situations similar to these can account for the loss of hundreds, or even thousands, of potential customers.

Now imagine the same situation, except this time the customer is automatically greeted by a friendly online representative, right there on the webpage. The representative may ask, “Hi, thank you for visiting ABC Roofing, Inc. Can I help answer any questions you may have about our company?” The customer may then reply, “Hi, do you have any experience with tile roofing?” Now that a dialogue has been started with the customer, one of our online agents may reply, “ABC Roofing has completed several tile roofing projects recently, but each project is a little bit different. Would you like one of our consultants to call you to discuss some of the differences?” The customer agrees and iClick immediately forwards the customer’s name and phone number to your business – turning a potential customer, into a purchasing customer!

What are the costs: Here’s the best part – you only pay for the qualified leads provided to you by our agents. Our modest fee schedules are designed to ensure a consistently high return on investment. After all, our goal is to help your business thrive to ensure a long, continuing relationship with iClick for many years to come.

iClick Chatback services will begin rolling out on July 1st of this year. For personalized pricing, or for further details, call or write to us today!

Hiring Unethical SEOs Can Be Dangerous

15 June, 2010 (06:39) | Google & SEO | By: admin

Submitted by: Colorado Springs SEO

Can Unethical SEO be Considered a Computer/Cybercrime?

The SEO space is still somewhat new. Most marketers and business owners don’t know much about how SEO works but one thing they do know, is they need better rankings and they need to hire a SEO Specialist to make better rankings happen. Unfortunately like most industries when there’s demand there’s doorway for unethical business practices that can end up costing you countless hours of headaches along side of substantial loss.

I’ve seen everything from SEO Sabotage, to SEO Blackmailing to holding businesses hostage in fear of a substantial financial and seo loss. These are all unethical and potentially illegal practices that some SEOs use to place fear of loss into clients who are considering some kind of business transition or transaction.

Here are just a few unethical SEO Tactics I’ve seen over the last 9 years:

Ranking Hijack:

The Google Rankings Hijack is one of the most dirty, effective and most commonly used tactics used by disgruntled SEOs. This particular tactic implys website ownership through Google Webmasters Tools as well as disallowing Googlebot from website access using the Robots.txt function. The Webmaster/SEO then manually request that the website be removed from Google search results from the Google Webmaster Tools CP which essentially wipes out the website in it’s entirety in a matter of seconds leaving a once well ranked web portal – non existent. Once the website is verified gone they will remove any trace of wrongdoing by eliminating the block code within Robots.txt and removing their personal Google Webmasters Tools Verification code.

Other unethical SEO Tactics are…

  • Remove links from prior link building efforts
  • Adding hidden text links
  • Linking to Bad Neighborhoods (i.e. Cealis /Virus Infected Websites)
  • Uploading Files Containing Virues
  • many other tactics implemented to attract heavy penalties from Google.

Sure these tactics are unethical but are they really a criminal offense? Read the Full Article here.
