A Little About Me

December 14, 2007 at 10:40 am · Filed under SEO Expert, Joe Beccalori, Mystery Quotes, Self Improvement

Believe it or not, the SEO Expert actually has other things going on in life, other than SEO, so I thought I would add a few blog categories to cover those as well.  In 2007, for example, I made some serious life decisions regarding my personal health and my family life.  As part of this transformation year, I’ve read an awful lot of self-improvement and philosophy books, and joined a few programs for balanced time management.  Along the way, I picked up on a series of great quotes I’d like to rotate on the blog and share - of people through time that had some really great things to say.  These have been an inspiration to me as I got back to the 40-45 hour work week, met my children again,  quit smoking, lost 20 lbs, among other leaps and bounds.  I hope to take a few weeks off for the Holidays (yes-even if it means slipping a few slots for ‘SEO Expert’ and will see you back again in 2008.  For now, enjoy the Mystery Quotes - which will be revealed eventually.

SEO Consultant | 7 Things to Consider When Hiring Someone for SEO

1. Google your SEO Consultant, I Dare You!

Google the company name of your SEO Consultant. You’ll be amazed at how many things you can find about a company this way. See if anyone has been complaining about the company.

2. What is the guarantee from the SEO Consultant?

Be cautious of over-zealous guaranteesmade by your SEO Consultant

3. Discuss the Strategies with the SEO Consultant

If an SEO Consultant won’t tell you how they get your site ranked - they may not be up to par. SEO is not a secret science. A company should be able to tell you what methods they use.

4. Have the SEO Consultant show you examples

An SEO Consultant can be a great salesperson, but you’ll want to see evidence. Have the consultant show you examples of their customers rankings. Ask for a keyword you can go and type now and see how their clients rank.

5. Determine who is in charge at the SEO Consultant Company?

It may be better to deal with a smaller SEO company (3-10 people) than with the big ones.

6. Meet Face to Face with your SEO Consultant

If you can, visit with the SEO Consultant. See their work area and learn how they work.

7. Have a budget in mind when you call an SEO Consultant

Make sure you have an approximation of how much money you are prepared spend on the SEO Consultant services.

SEO Expert Podcast | Lot’s of Traffic to the blog.

December 6, 2007 at 2:54 pm · Filed under SEO Podcast, SEO Expert, SEO Guru, SEO Advice

Thanks to all those who have helped promote the site. I appreciate all the link love and social bookmarking. The blog had record traffic this month, and record downloads of the SEO Podcast. Most feedback has been positive, and the rest was at least constructive. I know I had big visions for blogging and creating new written and audio content much more regularly, and I have been a bit delinquent - I will try my best to have more frequent updates into 2008.

The site is actually on page 1 results in Google for the terms ‘SEO Podcast’ and ‘SEO Expert’ and is continuing to achieve traffic growth. I guess I better start preparing that material.

Best,

Joe
