In the past weeks, I have begun spending a lot of my spare time on my own elementary version of SEO. There are so many vitally important aspects and such a plethora of information about SEO out in the web, some good and some bad, like everything else. I have constantly found some of my most valuable information from links provided in previous SpaBoom posts, and greatly appreciate the help you have provided. I’m looking forward to your new posts, learning and watching my total hits and page rank go up and up. I personally would encourage others to follow your blog closely and put a little investment of time in learning at least a little about SEO. Our little site has gone from about a hundred hits a year ago, to almost 15,000! We aren’t even to our first anniversary with SpaBoom. Our massage clinic-spa is just about a year old, and we are located in a very competitive market in South Florida. At this point, a good 50% of our clients find us on the internet. Traditional advertising in our market is simply unaffordable and somewhat ineffective. I still have a long way to go. Google "Fort Lauderdale Massage" and I don't hit well at all. Google "massage Fort Lauderdale" and I hit on the first page of "Maps" and a link to my Citysearch ad, first on the second page. Google "Las Olas Massage" a popular area in which I am located... and I take at least 7 of the 10 spaces on the first page! Thanks again! And kudos! PS: Feel free to visit http://www.PlanetMassage.com to watch our transformation over the next month or so. We will be adding a lot of targeted pages in hopes of gaining more traffic! We have learned enough to know we have a LOT more to learn, LOL. Thanks Andrea, your blog is most welcomed and appreciated!
