Take your time with SEO. Don't give up. Just keep building up your anchor text backlinks. Many people give up too early when in fact they just need a little bit of education on SEO. -Kai .-= Kai´s last blog ..SEO =-.

I just have to chime on on the “cheap web hosting”. Having a strong marketing background, I was taught and never thought of ever using “cheap” to describe a product/service but rather to use “least expensive” or “lowest priced” with some other psychological triggers such as “highest quality” or “reliable”. You are right Laurence, the numbers are way too good. I optimized one of the sites on the first page of Google for both “cheap magazines” and “discount magazines” – and found “cheap magazines” to pull more traffic than “discount magazines”…it’s sad but true.

It’s sort of like having to misspell a word to rank for the term in Google. Take for instance “medicolegal services” – Google actually suggests the wrong spelling (medico legal services) of the word. When in doubt, I would side with Google. I mean isn’t the ultimate goal to pull traffic?

Also, just had my first guest blogger on Ponder Consulting today…check it out if you get a chance.

Yea, familiar with the tool but haven’t spent a huge amount of time on it. I’ll run some phrases through it.

I created the mother of all keyword lists now and I’ll run it with best practices time delays between queries overnight…

Google’s Adwords tool gives a supposed “searches per month” figure that many speculate may be a bit inflated. But in a situation where you have a major league player and intensely coveted hi traffic keywords it’s worth looking at every conceivable piece of data.

Very valid points but the stats don’t quite measure up. It’s a sad fact that it appears that not many people search for reliable web hosting or quality web hosting. We actually used to rank on page one for reliable hosting and it brought in no traffuc.
