Can I optimise
my website for 'GREEN
ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP"?
Of course - but why would you want to? To prove it can be done of course!
You know, I get
asked some really silly questions, and I am just being silly too.
But if you will permit me, I will explain why I made this page, and why I
wanted GREEN
ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP
to rank at the top of Google.
As
an SEO (search engine optimisation) specialist I am often criticized by my
online SEO colleagues. People who I have never met write articles about me
or my website simply because I am ranked so highly in Google for the term
SEO or Search Engine Optimisation, and they don't have a clue how I do it!
They call my techniques unorthodox, unusual, weird and even downright
liberty taking.
The
fact is, they spend hours in forums and blogs talking about other SEO
companies and not working much, whereas I get dozens of SEO enquiries
every day, and only accept 1 a week (on a good week). Ask any of my
clients how difficult is was to get my attention....
The
reason I decline so many offers of work are many i.e. lifestyle, holidays,
personal preference, semi-retired and of course.... I have to believe my
SEO will really can make a difference.
So when I am asked to SEO a holiday website, sex toys, lingerie, mobile
phones etc, etc. I am simply not interested because no matter what I do, I
don't see it will make 'significant' improvements to justify my fees.
So
why am I writing this page GREEN
ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP?
The
answer is - for a bet!
I turned down a client today (5th July) and told her that her website was
too competitive and she had a better chance of winning the lottery. I also
told
her that I would personally feel very bad if the SEO did not make a
significant improvement to her Google listings.
You
know what she said? She offered to triple my fees and give me her services
free, if I took her as a client. She then said she had already got a #1
listing in Google for her first name (very unusual name).
That's when I replied to her that within a short period of time I could
get GREEN
ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP
at #1 in Google.
But it wouldn't do me any good.
So,
if you have a a unique selling point, then maybe we can work together and
make a difference.
See
you at the top.
Anyone for soup?
UPDATE:
July
2008
The term GREEN
ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP
was optimised on this website on 5th July. It showed up as number 1 in
Google on 9th July.
It also shows number 1 for other variations i.e. green elephants etc.
