    search engine work - a reputable company or individual

    Hey,

    I would like to hire a company or an individual to optimize my website www.atlargenutrition.com

    I don't have the time or specialise knowledge to do this properly and I would like to pay someone to handle it for me.

    I figure I need a one off optimisation job done (review of keywords, some decisions on ones to target and then some re-working of tags and keyword content, perhaps a bit of navigation re-working) and then for someone to focus on link building for me.

    Can anyone recommend a reputable company or individual and what would you expect I would have to pay?

    Daniel

    I always do my own stuff of course, especially link building, I've never found anyone I considered trustworthy enough for link building.

    It's just a time thing. I work a full time job and run ALN on the side, so right now it would be much better to pay someone to do it.

    The key as usual is to find someone that is reliable and good at what they do!

    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    Hey, selecting an SEO company can be difficult sometimes. You know, some webmasters recommend contacting the freelancers but sometimes contacting the professional firms might also be considered.

    I think you need to do a few searches on the web for finding qualified people.

    That you can even say "SEO Company" is a disgusting turn of web development supporting the entire SCAM. SEO should be part of the design process from the start, and a natural one. All these 'companies' should be calling themselves design and coding - if they JUST do SEO or overemphasize it to the exclusion of other aspects, it's probably a scam.

    As to the site in question, yes - it could use some code optimization... Which WOULD help with the rankings... Lose the tables that aren't doing anything, get the presentational images out of the markup, actually use heading tags for the headers, axe all that stupid fat bloated mm_swap javascripted rubbish that adobe added/suggested...

    Just be wary of the people pushing JUST SEO. You go with clean minimalist semantic markup or a coder who can deliver that, you'll get natural rankings... anything else is just trying to 'game' the system and the fast road to getting banned from search engines or sinking hundreds if not thousands of dollars into something that once the search engines get sick of being tricked will devalue.

    As I said, beware the scams... and when it comes to SEO, good god there's a lot of scam artists out there claiming to know something about web development.
