without any hidden costs.
Content is the foundation of every website. You can't do SEO if you have no content. That is why small websites, with just 10 or 20
pages have a hard time drawing traffic: there are thousands of other topic-related websites that publish new content every day. So, if
you're not willing to think very seriously about developing new content, that is SEO friendly and that offers quality information to
your readers there are others that will do it and get your potential clients.
Do Articles help SEO? YES!
There are hundreds if not thousands of articles on the Internet that speak about the need of optimizing your website for hundreds
of keywords and maybe thousands of long tail keywords. Developing a solid base for your website dictates the way it will grow. Too
many people think that all you need to do is launch a website, put some content on it, pay $100 to be on the first page of Google for
some keyword they think it's the "source of success" and in 6 months they expect to see money pouring in.
Each group of articles that you're planning should have a small list of related keywords behind it. This list will contain the main,
high competitive keyword and derived/related keywords. This step is necessary, in order to develop articles that target keywords with
at least few monthly searches. Many words can be related to your topic but it's important to choose the ones that are being searched.
Long tail keywords play a crucial role. The reason is because ranking for long tail keywords depends more on how well optimized your
content is rather than external factors. All the good rankings on long tail keywords will improve the exposure of the article that
targets the high competitive keyword and will also flow some link-authority to it.

Lisa (858) 551-9228
This one was a lot of work, but ended up being fun! The company's owner,
Lisa, had a basic website for years that actually made Google Page 1, but a paid a large SEO company in San
Diego to redesign her website to make it more professional. They designed the site from a Joomla! Template but did not SEO the
site - at all! After thousands of dollars she gave up on them and called Old Ben. Ben took the graphics and CCS files from the
Joomla! Template and redesigned the site in strict W3C HTML in DreamWeaver. It took a lot of time but she was only charged a portion of
the the time. Now she's back on Page 1 and her phone is ringing again with clients. She has since signed up for our monthly Content
and SEO Maintenance Plan for only $180 / mo. Call her and ask her how we did!

(805) 367-6202
This one was a lot of work, but ended up being fun! One of the company's Ventura County owners,
Daniel, had a basic website design in his head based on the simple but elegant design of the Pixar website. He
provided the graphics he needed to Ben and instructed Ben throughout the design process - making and remaking design changes
constantly. Ben stuck to his original quote to the end and completed the project, including adding a Google CheckOut shopping cart
to the website. Call him and ask him how we did!

San Diego
Tim 619) 352-0366
We had loads of fun with this one! The company's San Diego owner,
Tim, designed and
published the website himself, but when he checked his ranking on Google, he quit looking after page 63. So he called Old Ben for
SEO help. Ben took 10 hours to clean up the HTML on the site, adding in the TITLE & DESCRIPTION META tags, and the ALT tags to
the images. He listed the site on over 35 directories and listings for the backlinks, and got the site listed on LinkedIn, DMOZ,
Yelp, YellowPages and all that. Six days later Tim called to tell Ben his site was on Google Page 1 Line 3. Now THAT'S fun! Call him
and ask him how we did!
Lianna's Oils
Oceanside
Lianna (760) 632-8330
This one was easy, the company's San Diego County owner,
Lianna, had her website held hostage by an unscrupulous webmaster. Ben had to regain possession of her site
from her hard to find former webmaster, and set it up on a new server. Then he had to repair her computer, restore Windows XP
without losing her software or data, and rearrange her living room. You'd never believe the Old JarHead had a soft heart under that
grouchy exterior. Call her and ask her how we did!
Health First Medical Clinics
Rancho Bernardo
Dianne (760) 632-8330
This one was easy, the company's owner,
Dianne, had her website designed by a San Diego webmaster with no SEO experience, but excellent graphics skills.
Ben had to create a DreamWeaver Template for her site and publish it up to her server. Then he had to Localize SEO the site for Rancho Bernardo in San Diego County, which was below
Google Page 33, and it moved up to Page 1 within 9 days. You'll find her site on Google Page 2 these days, months of stagnant content
causing it to lose rankings. Call her and ask her how we did!
