Hi Rob,
I’ve been writing content for you. therefore I want/need you to do well.
elgoog knows his shit. listen to him. Now I have no room to talk. most my pages also have same title/description and I’ve never gotten free traffic.
take the hint buddy. your SEO guy must not know any more …. maybe less than myself. at least I am smart enough to listen to the pros that are long time vets in what is likely the toughest, most competitive industry.
I think you’re a great guy. but I’m certainly not motivated to writing more content for someone who’s not going to do any better than I.
sounds like your SEOer is a much better salesman than SEOer. you’re in control of your stats. what do they tell you? if you’re not getting traffic …… well let me give an example.
I’ve teamed up with two SEOers and in a month’s time we’ve gotten 9 signups though admittedly no real players. still a promising start in such a short time.
if you’re spending money paying this obvious idiot ….. spend it somewhere else. These guys nice enough to give input ….. aren’t bullshitting you to cut down on competition.
I should listen to them and should have years ago but I’ve found other ways to get the job done that I have concentrated on … and for me ….. its been rewarding and more able for me to understand than all this SEO BS. I keep thinking the SEs will catch up with logical, sensible thinking and do away with their backlink, meta tag BS and learn to judge new content,…… the quality of it ….. etc than they put towards what i consider idiotic approaches.
it hasn’t worked. they still stick to their algors that I personally don’t see any sense in … when compared to just looking for pages with
main keyword in the search
similar keywords or those that would make sense being in the same paragraphs
and new content to give the reader the most up to date info.
links, backlinks …. anything that can be bought ….. should go out the window.
but after 7 yrs …. I’ve given up on sensible approaches. the rocket scientists in charge of these things as usual …… over look the most simple ….. yet IMHO most important parts of the situation in attempt to be rocket scientists instead of admitting that it isn’t rocket science.
anyway ….. enough ranting. results are possible in 2 months time or less. I’ve now seen that fact for myself. take this into consideration and act accordingly instead of listening to the guy making money off you instead of those who are nice enough to spend their time evaluating your situation …. for free!
I can write. I probably could learn SEO but frankly have no interest in it because it isn’t logical to me. same reason I smoke pot when it’s illegal and got me in trouble. I see it as no moral reason for being banned. NOBODY has ever had the inclination to shoot, or hurt someone after smoking. Hell I think it should be distributed amongst the prison population to cut down on violence but that’s how backwards I think and why I’ll never be good at SEO.
getting off track. anyway …… listen to these guys. they took time out to help. no charge. no hidden agenda for BS’s you.
again, you’re a great guy. but if results aren’t being seen by now …… then time to listen to the advice of the yodas.
