Professional SEO Services
Let me introduce myself, My name is Normand Vandray and I currently live in Montréal, Canada. I have been a professional SEO (Search Engine Optimizer) since 1998,
and thus far have had a very large degree of success in placing websites in high ranking positions in Google, Altavista, Teoma, Inktomi, MSN etc..
I have developed unique ideas and approaches in the quest to place websites at the top, and I do not use any of the "spammy" techniques that you hear
about all over the web in order to achieve better rankings. My philosophy is that a properly designed website is the only true item required to get those
elusive ranks. The problem is that most people don't realize how broad the topic of having a "properly designed" website can be.
I am pretty much fluent in the use of HTML, CSS, Perl, ASP , ASP .NET technology,
JavaScript etc.. I also work with Flash, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc..
If your website is your source of income, why chance getting either a PR0 ban or even a complete ban by doing your own SEO work? Many people make the mistake
of thinking that Google is too busy to browse their website looking for hidden text, overused keywords etc.. This has never been more untrue. There have been
many instances over the past year or two of people / companies that have been banned from Google for simple reasons, and have had no success in getting their
site back into Google.
Many of these people (some of whom I have spoken with personally) have been forced to either start new websites from scratch, or stop trading on the internet
altogether. This is no joke, Google has a seriously large market share, and if you're not in Google, you're not really on the web at all. And when you get a ban,
I'm afraid there seems to be almost no recovery at this time.
When it comes to the basics of business, sometimes you need to invest into before you can earn out of, and many people out there in the E-commerce sector have
overlooked the vital investment of getting the website(s) optimized for search engines. One of the biggest reasons why E-commerce websites fail inside of the
first 24 months is that advertising costs are too high, and the visitors obtain through those advertisements simply do not convert to sales. The reason for
this is so basic.
I still ponder at why E-commerce companies think that advertising so aggressively is the key to success, this is simply not true. Those that surf the internet
these days are wise old folk, and they know that when they see a banner, the very reason they are seeing it is not that the website in question thinks the surfer
will benefit from the product being advertised, but that the website will benefit in terms of advertising revenue when the surfer clicks on that banner / link.
People have adapted to this, and therefore it's the free traffic that converts most effectively these days. But the only way people are really going to find your
site for free these days is through Google, or some similar Search Engine. So what do you need?? An SEO to get your site as highly ranked as possible.
Here are the bare facts about how I operate:
- I am NOT affiliated with Google or any firm associated with Google, and therefore I cannot improve your rankings through any form of an "inside contact". Some other SEO's pretend to have an "inside contact" in order to make the potential client think that they can achieve better rankings. They are liars.
- I do NOT believe in link farms / FFA's (Free For All Links) pages / too many reciprocal links / hidden text / cheats. Some EO's engage in such activity, which can cause more harm than good.
- Unlike many SEO's, I'll NOT lie to you and insult your intelligence by making promises that nobody can keep, such as that I can of get your site to the Number 1 position.
- Unlike many SEO's, I do NOT charge you rates that are far too high and unrealisitc.
- I can offer more than just the basics, I can suggest / provide solutions to other problems, such as hosting, advertising campaigns etc..
- I am NOT partial to any other company, this means that I won't try to sell you anything in particular just because I will benefit. This is hard to find in SEO's in todays world, most like making money on top of making money!!
- I do listen to your needs and work with you and your web designers / developers.
- I do promise I'll put in all effort that will be needed .
- I can provide a free quote promptly.
- To contact me please e-mail WebDesign@vandray.com. I am willing to answer any questions you might have via e-mail or telephone.
How you will make your site a success is entirely up to you, and I don't want to force anything down your throat,
but if you choose another SEO, please make sure that everything they say is what Google themselves advise.
