Hi Joe,

Here is an example of the huge problem with your website.

When you do a search for a product you sell in Google it's not found..

"1996 1st Anniversary Silver Legacy $10.00 Silver Strike issued by the Silver Legacy Casino & Hotel Resort , Reno , Nevada .... This is for the Rare ! marked .999 Fine Silver on Brass Rim ! Shipping w/USPS Delivery Conf $5.99"

Search Results...

http://www.google.com/#q=1996+1st+Anniversary+Silver+Legacy+%2410.00+Silver+Strike+issued+by+the+Silver+Legacy+Casino+%26+Hotel+Resort+,+Reno+,+Nevada+....+This+is+for+the+Rare+!+marked+.999+Fine+Silver+on+Brass+Rim+!+Shipping+w/USPS+Delivery+Conf+%245.99&hl=en&start=0&sa=N&fp=9d63b61ca9166abe

Your site is not found.

Unfortunately your site was never set-up correctly to be found in the search engines. This problem exist with 99% of all the sites I come across.

To fix the issue would cost most people up to $50K to enhance your site the right way.

It's like converting a Hugo into a Lamborghini.  The most economical way would be to hire us to redo the site using the lasted Search Engine Optimized website code available.

We update the code every Sunday directly to your new site and cost range from $500-$5000 depending on how much Design and Setup you want us to do.

Most people have a huge investment in their website and hate to think they wasted money on it, so they keep on investing money or what I say, throwing their money down a rat hole or good money after bad.

You have have to think of it this way... the vehicle you have used will only get you so far if you want to go even further and make more money, you'll have to buy a new vehicle to do it with, and that is what I offer you.

Right now you have an old clunker that gets 1 mile to gallon if that. WebsiteForge has a vehicle that will get you unlimited miles. Anytime that vehicle needs something replaced, WebsiteForge does it for you at no cost other than your Monthly Managed Services & Hosting Fee.

WebsiteForge invest over $250,000 back into your website code so you don't have to. What other company will do that?

WebsiteForge would love to help you make money online like our other 4000 clients. Call me and I'll explain more about what we can do for you.

Thanks,

A> I hear from a lot of people that due to the economy they are not going to spend any money to improve their website.

But, what you really need to do is improve your websites ability to get more clients or customers.

You should Recession Proof Your Business Website!

A Recession doesn't mean stop what you're doing.

Here's what happens:

Economist start saying we're in a Recession. Your customers start getting nervous and then start tightening their belts. They still spend money, but now they are pickier about how they spend it.

If you sell a product or service that your customers deem nonessential then your sales may start to slow down.

Before I provide the answer look at these facts:

The National Unemployment Rate in 2009 was 9.3% and in 2010 it's at 9.7% compared to 1982 when it was 9.7% and 1983 when it was 9.6%.

What's that tell you? It happened before, right? And, people lived through it and made money. We're not talking about a 60% unemployment rate here. For the last 40 years the unemployment rate has been between 2.9 and 9.7. Right now we are at a high, but it doesn't have to affect your business.

It's simple math, if you can only get more customers you can make it through this economic slow down and further ahead in the good times.

The question is how do you get more

 people to buy your product or service?

Ready for the SECRET!

You do this letting more people know what you do and what you have to offer!

Simple, right?

If you need to let 1000 people know what you do to make 100 sales and due to the economy you're only making 50 sales right now... then you need to let 2000 people know about what you do and you'll make 100 sales.

It's all about simple math we learned in grade school.

Okay... I know you're reading this saying to yourself, "Right, but how do I get all these extra people"?

Ready for the SECRET to getting customers!

The only way to do this is by Advertising! If you do not get your business in front of the people you might as well set up shop in the middle of the jungle if you like warm weather... and for those who like the cold weather I would recommend Antarctica.

Seriously.. You have to Advertise. Advertising takes all shapes and forms and some Advertising is expensive while other methods are inexpensive. Regardless of the method you use, you always want to get a "Return on Investment" (ROI). If you spend $100, you should make $200 back. If you spend $100 and only make $50 or nothing back, then dump it.

Your Website should be considered an Advertising Expense and it should give you a "Return on Investment", if it doesn't you need to dump it or find a way to make it give you a "Return on Investment". Otherwise, it's just a cost.

Ready for the SECRET

to getting customers to your website!

I hear a lot of people say, "A website, is a website, is a website.", which is untrue. The correct statement is, " A website without true search engine optimization is just a website that does not drive traffic and is no better than a brochure sitting on dusty counter. A website with true search engine optimization is a traffic driving machine!"

I have spent 20 years in Marketing & Advertising and a website with Search Engine Optimization will yield you a higher return on investment than any other form of advertising. TV does a 2:1, Radio 3:1, Print is up to 10:1 and Search Engine Optimization does 20+:1 ratio.

A website from WebsiteForge that uses an Internal Site Mapping System that automatically updates itself is the highest form of optimization a site can have. Most people can experience a 20+:1 RIO. Keep in mine, you still need a product or service someone wants to buy, but the traffic will make a dramatic difference.

You site needs to be a Revenue Stream Builder!

Let me ask you a simple question: Why in the world would you want a website if no one couldn't find it?  The answer is just as simple: You wouldn't, and you don't have to!

For years everyone and their brother have been building websites. With all the simple website building software on the market today you can even hire a kid to make you website. But they can't make a Professional site that will create a Revenue Stream for your business. That part takes an Expert in the field of Search Engine Optimization. If your neighbors kid could do it, he would be a millionaire and thousands of companies would flock to him to build their website.

The fact is, just like anything in life, if you want it done right, you have to hire an expert to do it. And I'm not talking about a person who has done it once, but thousands of times.

At WebsiteForge we have created over 6000 successful websites in the past 18 years and we are the most experienced company that offers the most comprehensive search engine optimization solution in the industry that is automatically included in our website platform for no extra cost.

Our clients are experiencing huge returns on their website investments. We have clients doing hundreds of thousand to millions of dollars in sales a year from websites that only cost them a tiny faction of that amount.

WebsiteForge is not in the business of just building websites.

WebsiteForge is in the business of developing the tools to make your business successful online.

So my answer for you Tony is, invest your money with a company that knows how to make their clients money and Recession Proof Your Business Website!

Q> What does SEO stand for?  Would you basically list it with google, and other search engines?

Brent

A> SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization which is the process used to attain higher ranking in the search engines like; Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Search Engine Submission is the method used to get the site on the search engines. The benefit of doing a Search Engine Submission is, it will let people type in your Domain Name Address or URL in the search field so hopefully they can find your website.

Most people won't know your Domain Name or URL when doing a search and will try to find a company like yours by using Keywords to locate you.

By Optimizing your site for the Search Engines you will be found in the top % of the sites instead of the bottom. Most people don't know or understand this important fact or are misled by companies that just build and design sites and don't specialize in Search Engine Placement.

Let's say you need brain surgery, would you want to go to the Family Doctor or a Brain Surgeon? The Family Doctor will cost a lot less but your chances of survival is slim. The Brain Surgeon has a huge successful track record but cost a little more. Who would you want to perform the surgery? That answer should be obvious, right?

Your website should be treated the same way. If you want a successful website, you need a company that specializes in developing successful websites that are found high in the search engines, otherwise your website could just be sitting at the bottom of the search engines, brain dead.

If you don't want a brain dead website, then let's discuss how WebsiteForge can help you.

I got an email today from Alex who is looking at having a professional web site design created.

This is what he said...

Read my Blog on Why Hire A Professional Web Site Designer by clicking on the following link http://www.websiteforge.com/48.html?m20:post=why-hire-a-professional-web-site-designer

I got a lot of people writing back to me saying, "How can you say WebsiteForge is the only company that offers Search Engine Optimization?"

So.. here is the paragraph I wrote and included in a bunch of emails I sent out last week...

"WebsiteForge is the only company that offers our Proprietary Search Engine Optimization SEO that will get your site listed higher in the Search Engines than what any other company will do for you at no extra cost. We provide the Set-up, Submission and a Consultation with an SEO Expert with more than 10 years experience in getting websites ranked in the top pages."

Let me clarify...

FACT 1: WebsiteForge is the only company that offers our Proprietary Search Engine Optimization SEO Software. It's code built into the site. It normally cost thousands to have a site set-up the way we do for the search engines.

In the summer of 2004 Google sent a notice to Website Development Companies stating they were changing the way their Search Engine Robot & Spiders were going to Index sites using what was called their NEW & IMPROVED Googlebot. The Googlebot was like a super bot or spider which would read your entire site better than the previous Robot & Spiders. If your site is correctly coded for this new Googlebot, it could dramatically increase the positioning of your website over other sites that are not.

WebsiteForge immediately started working on this new way of coding the backend code of the website to allow the Googlebot to thoroughly index the site the way Google wanted it done. We made the decision to spend the money and convert website building software to conform to the way Google wanted it done and we contacted Yahoo and MSN as well to make sure we built the code to conform to their standards as well.

WebsiteForge has invested over $100K into the software so far and runs us about $35K to maintain every year. This is not just a Meta Tag that has been slapped on your Homepage as other companies do. We worked directly with Google, Yahoo and MSN for 3 years developing an underlying code that could be managed by WebsiteForge without hand coding the site and spending thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars to correctly code each site.

In August 2007, WebsiteForge Beta Tested the new Search Engine Optimization code as instructed by Google and developed by Kevin Gannon from TheNetCorp.com (SEO Expert for over 10 years).

This is one of the examples of success we experienced.

Client: ShopBakersNook.com

Orders from January 2007 to the end of July 2007: 2500+

Order from August 2007 during the Beta Test: 2600+

In just 30 days, ShopBakersNook.com was able to out perform their entire year to date orders. The went from the 6th page of Google to the 3rd page of Google in just days for major Keywords & Phrases. Now ShopBakersNook boast of doing more than 18,000 orders a month and says they lost track of how many times they are found on the 1st page for Keywords & Phrases they want to be found for. They also claim their competition spends thousands of dollars to an SEO Expert per month while they don't have to.

FACT 2: Your site will get listed higher in the Search Engines than what any other company will do for you at no extra cost. Meaning other companies can not do what we do for FREE. They can tell you they do, but they do not. We have not found a company yet that does. If you think you have found a company that does let me know so I can call them. All companies so far that we have spoken to have back tracked on the quote "Search Engine Optimization" they offer compared to us and have retracted those statements once we ask for proof in the coding of the site.

FACT 3: We provide the Set-up, Submission and a Consultation with an SEO Expert with more than 10 years experience in getting websites ranked in the top pages. (Kevin Gannon with TheNetCorp.com)

I know other companies tell you they do the same thing as we do, but they don't. The only way for other companies to do what we have done is for them to have an SEO Expert redo the work they do and code the site correctly by hand and spend 50-650 hours depending on the type of website you have to do it. Most companies charge $100-$150 for software programming, so do the math. It's expensive to hand code websites and there is no software program on the market today that does, except our software that we don't resell.

Some companies are building sites in Search Engine Friendly software and calling it Search Engine Optimized because they have a Meta Tag on the Home Page or on every page of the site. It does not mean they have the same Search Engine Optimization Code we use and spent $100K to develop and maintain.

Here is a good example:

Let's say WebsiteForge builds cars, and you are shopping for a car, and Company XYZ's sales person says, "We use the same metal WebsiteForge uses for their cars." Does that mean Company XYZ's cars are built the same way WebsiteForge's cars are? Absolutely Not! Company XYZ may be selling you a HUGO and WebsiteForge is selling you a Formula 500 Racing Car built specifically for the Super Internet Highway not the junk yard.

So don't let those other companies make you think you're getting the same thing that WebsiteForge is offering you. WebsiteForge is the only company that offers our Proprietary Search Engine Optimization SEO Software and RESULTS that come from using it!

Actually all the sites we have seen outside of the US and Most inside the US do not have SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and are not being found high in the search engines in a natural search. While the design may be good, the sites are not structured the way Google wants to see them.

For years prior to finding WebsiteForge myself I had over 20 websites and the biggest problem was always getting my site found in the search engines. The problem still exist today unless you use a company like WebsiteForge or hire a Search Engine Optimization Expert for thousands of dollars to make your site correctly.

Ever since WebsiteForge added it's SEO Software back in August 2007 all the companies now say they do SEO as well. Saying and Doing are two different words. We DO....

If you have any questions about our SEO software, please contact me.

With that question I had a couple of answers...

#1 - It can cost you dearly if you don't have "SEO" Search Engine Optimization.

Go to google and type in the KEYWORD "UNIFORM", you'll see 110,000,000 Million Hits. Where do you think you're company will show up if you don't have "SEO" Search Engine Optimization done to your site? If you answered 110,000,001 you get a Gold Star.

#2 - As much as you want to spend.

While at WebsiteForge we give you SEO Technology on your site and the Initial Consultation with Kevin Gannon, a third party company who will set-up your site, submit it and consult with you initially for no extra cost... if you really want to be successful "SEO" Search Engine Optimization should be considered an advertising cost, no different than Radio, Print or TV except you'll get more bang for your buck.

Here's an example... if you spend $200/mo on SEO and make $5000/mo how much would you spend on SEO? If you answered as much money as you could spend, you get a Gold Star.

I was on a phone conversation with a gentleman that uses Kevin Gannon and pays him over $1000/mo for "SEO" Search Engine Optimization. He was telling the owner of WebsiteForge the HUGE success he was having using Kevin along with our Software. He is making tens of thousands of dollars in "SEO" Search Engine Optimization spending $1000 which is less than a normal radio station would charge for about a 1/2 week schedule. He said he was going to double or triple the amount he spends on "SEO" Search Engine Optimization using Kevin Gannon. What kind of results do you think he can expect? If you said, double or tripple or more... You get a Gold Star!

RECAP....

Our "SEO" Search Engine Optimization Technology and set-up is FREE, and you will do very well by having Kevin Gannon set-up your site and show you how you can manage our own SEO Search Engine Optimization Campaign... but, if you have the money to spend on SEO Search Engine Optimization you'll only increase your odds of success and have it done faster.

If you have any questions about "SEO" Search Engine Optimization, or how WebsiteForge can build you a better website, please contact me.

ANSWER> Search Engine Optimization!

There is a HUGE shift in people using the Internet instead of the Phone Book to find a business in their area of need. Think about it, "when was the last time you used the phone book vs the Internet to find something?"

If you don't have a website and that website is not search engine optimized to be found in the top 3 pages of the search engines you might as well not have one unless you love spending money advertising on TV, Radio and Print telling people you have a Website.

And, remember that phone book shift, where people are using the Internet instead? More and More people are going to the Internet to watch TV, listen to Radio and read the Newspaper. So your advertising dollars to generate traffic to your website are dramatically being reduced.

The best thing you can do in the slow times and good times, is to use WebsiteForge's Website & Search Engine Optimization Technology and let it do the work for you to generate potential customers or clients to your business website.

The Lifeline to your business being successful is ADVERTISING, our websites do the Advertising for you at next to nothing per month and it will out perform TV, Radio and Print advertising both in the short term and long term on a CPL (Cost Per Lead) basis.

Call or e-mail me to learn more! Or better yet, purchase a website from WebsiteForge and let us prove it!

I was driving home last night and got a call from Boise ID. Some guy found my site on the internet. Any ways he was trying to tell me I was paying too much for my site and that it is all about SEO and they focus on that, and I am just listening and that he can build a site just like you did for me, only, get this, $69.95 a month for hosting, $10 more than what you charge. His hook is that the real money to be made in the industry is hosting so they want more people to be hosted with them long term so that is why the charge so little for the site. I told him to send me his info and links; I wanted to forward it to you. He never did send me anything as of yet. He said, how long you have been with WebsiteForge, he said they are doing you no good you are not even showing up anywhere, I told him we just turned on the site less than 24 hours ago.. and there was a big silence.. LOL 

I thought you would find this funny! Have a great one.

Terry S.

-------------------------------------

Hi Terry,

That is funny... a guy calling you the same day your site is found online in the search engines saying your search engine optimization is not working...

You have to watch out for all the con-artist out there peddling their snake oil SEO solutions. Unfortunately, most people listen to the wrong people and end up losing their money taking the advice from people like that rather than investigating the claims the make.

Hi Leroy,

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) should be on the fore front of everyone's mind, with out it your website will never be found in a KEYWORD SEARCH. Just building a website without SEO is like buying a car and not the gas. It just sits there and looks pretty.

At WebsiteForge we have taken 95% of the work out of SEO and the 5% left over is not rocket science, anyone can do it. Matter of fact we have hired a professional SEO Expert with over 10 years experience to consult with you and submit your site to the search engines. He will tell you how you can manage your on SEO campaign with little effort on your end and how easy it will be.

"Hi Doug,

Thanks for the information.

Here some of my issues and questions:

-We paid a company a large amount of money to design the website and only after our complaints of searchability did we even learn about SEO.

- we transferred the website to a new company who we paid to rewrite the code for the website for SEO and add additional text.

- we paid the new company for the site to the appear on first page for the key words “apartments chestnuthill” and “apartments Philadelphia” – we are on first page for “‘Apartments chestnuthill” but not on the radar for “apartments Philadelphia” (we have not paid for “Philadelphia”)

-When you say we have limited SEO based on page value – how is this page value determined?

Thanks,

Terri"

--------------------------------------------------------

First, the Search Engine Optimization person you are using is only going after the KEYWORDS you are paying for them to go after. With our Organic Search Engine Optimization on our site, you will be able to do this yourself.

Second, your site is limited by how your Search Engine Optimization person is structuring your site by going after a PAGE VALUE while our site goes after SITE VALUE.

PAGE VALUE is based on over 200 Factors determined by Google. Such factors include; Keywords, Key Phrases, URL, Inbound & Outbound Links, etc...

We have been working with Google for the past 3 years and currently spend over $35,000 a year maintaining SEO software on our site that creates a SITE VALUE by combining all of your PAGE VALUE's using all your keyword and phrases throughout the site instead of just looking at one page.

EXAMPLE (this is a very simple explanation and should only be considered as such..); If you have 10 pages and each value of each page is 1,000 points, then our site would let Google know it's worth 10,000 points on a particular search using SITE VALUE. So, if the current number# 1 positioned site on Google only has 9,800 points, then you would be placed #1.

We are using the same technology that Ebay and Amazon use. If you do a search for a particular product or book, you'll notice that Ebay and/or Amazon are consistently at the top of the search engines. Ever wonder why they get to the top? They work directly with Google, just like we do.
