Question by Greg C: How do I learn SEO (search engine optimization) copywriting?
I’m a mostly-traditional advertising copywriter hoping to expand my digital horizons and am looking to learn SEO (search engine optimization) copywriting. I live in NYC, and I’d rather take an actual class at a location than an online course. Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks.

Although seo copywriting is effective, the most important thing is to have great quality text within the site. It’s not so much as manipulating the search engine as it is providing great content. You will see results, it just takes time.

Question by Stella V.: Is it possible for a new site with a good SEO marketing person, to push up high in the Google search?
its a new social network, and the SEO person says he can do that.

Answer by govicseo
It really depends on the “age” of your “keywords” and their relevant placement on your opening webpage. For example, it’s a given that whoever can stack out certain keywords “at first”, is entitled to hold onto those keywords even as it affects one’s PR. Anyone who claims that they can still elevate certain “aged keywords” to promote newer sites may not necessarily know what how SEO works.

Good luck!

Question by DaveLandon: How can we find the best SEO companies to submit to our search process?
We received some great answers to our previous question about HOW TO CHOOSE the right SEO company. What I should have also asked is how can we find the companies to choose FROM. I’m really feeling in the dark, here – and since we don’t have time to sort through the MILLIONS of SEO companies out there, I’m wondering if there is some place – some directory, etc., or some sort of standards-based system of monitoring which companies are worth even looking at and which are not.

(Thanks to all those who answered the previous question concerning how to conduct the selection process. To those who might want to provide info on how to do SEO ourselves, maybe I’ll ask about that ANOTHER time. For right now we have plenty of info on that including articles, books etc.. Thanks!)

For now, if anyone could point us to a relatively short list of quality SEO companies we can review and select from, that would be great!

Question by boby: Who knows a good SEO company to recommend?
I have some websites and want to out source my SEO to other professional SEO companies. But I have tried some of them, none of them was satisfactory, either too expensive or not offering good result.Does anyone know any good and not expensive SEO company? Thank you so much for the help!

Answer by jimmythakkar
I am an seo consultant myself and i know how the market is.

I would suggest that you go for an seo which is reasonable in pricing and shows results from time to time.

Stay away from any new seo companies or any seo consultants that guarantee top rankings overnite.

You can also pick a freelancer from a freelance site who has many 10/10 reviews and ratings.

Best of luck !

Question by Googlewashing Curious: Does Googlewashing really work is it misleading advertising by SEO companies?
Googlewashing claims to clean up negative information on the Internet. Companies like ReputationHawk.com, DefendMyName.com and ReputationDefender.com claim to do this, but it sounds like regular SEO services…and who knows if even those work. What are your thoughts?

Answer by Terry R
Reputation management is becoming big business on the Internet. American Airlines recently spent millions pushing negative content off of the first page for a search of their name. Basically, the process is regular SEO with an emphasis on new content that can be ranked under a business name, pushing negative content further down the search results.

Question by David: Why should a company use an SEO focused service?
Why should a company use an SEO focused service and not just a web design firm? Do SEO firms have specialized skills that design firm do not posses?

Answer by jasssi
Both are separate fields. Web designing deals with the layout and design of a website. And the SEO firm deals with the marketing of that website. Both of them are important.

Even though for small businesses SEO is a little bit important than that of the designing of the website. What ever it might be the design and layout of them , what they are in need is traffic. and they can get a lot targeted traffic if SEO is done properly. Even if we can use paid advertising to get traffic, it is less targeted and less effective as compared to the organic traffic that you will be receiving if you done the SEO properly.

At the same time designing is more important for big companies and popular brands. they will have enough budget to spend on paid advertising. moreover search engines has a temptation towards the popular brands and companies to list them higher in the search engines.

Not that it will be wise to go on with a combined strategy that integrates the designing and SEO together. both are important.

Question by Asghar Paracha SEO: What is the difference between Grey and White Hat SEO?
What is the difference between Grey and White Hat SEO?

Answer by ExoticPhone.com
White Hat SEO focus on building quality content first and SEO second. White Hat SEO may use technology and automation to build their websites too, but they use it to accomplish different goals. They write content for people, not search engines. White Hat SEO tend to rely more on their content and marketing skills to achieve a top ranking, rather than automated programs.

Gray Hat SEO is all about risk versus reward. Some Gray Hat techniques may be frowned by the search engines, but are not necessarily against their rules, while other techniques may be more risky and should be used only after careful consideration.
