Businesses of Kent!  People of Kent!  In fact, where ever you are, I can get you listed high in the search engines.  “Yeah, yeah” I here you say.  “I’ve heard it all before” - you say.  Well the proof is in the pudding, so here is the pudding…

Do a search on Google on the keyword “kia” (the car make).  In position 9 (first page) is my client Maidstone Kia - they sell kia cars.  That’s 9 out of 73,200,000 results!  Their site is top for “kia kent”.

Have I got your attention yet?!

Ok, do a search on Google for “web designer kent” and my web site design business is top out of 24,700,000 results.

Do you realise how lucrative getting to the top of the search engines could be for your business?

So why the frustration?  I need sites to work on so I can satisfy my competitive desire to get to the top of the search engines. If you’re interested then please get in touch.  I can work out a monthly price dependant on how difficult the keywords are for your particular industry.  It may be possible for work to be done on a commission basis, so the more products you sell the better for everyone.  Lets get rich together!

Yesterday evening I went to watch my beloved football team Whitstable Town play a league game against Deal Town.  Well, what an amazing game of football.  I got to the ground just after kick off to find Whitstable down a goal after just 5 mins!  A dodgy decision by the ref gave Deal Town a free kick just outside the box apparently.  Well that wasn’t the refs only bad decision of the night.  Anyway, at half time we were still 1-0 down despite some great shots on goal.  Just after into the second half, Deal scored again.  Gutting.  We managed to bring things level and then Deal went ahead again 2-3.  The boys equalised again, but no sooner had we scored than Deal went ahead again! (3-4) We were all wondering whether it just wasn’t going to be our night.

Somehow we caught them on the break again and managed to level it again 4-4.  That would have done me at that point,  I would have settled for the draw.  I just didn’t want them to score again straight after equalising.  Again Deal attacked and I held my breath, willing the ball out of our area.  We cleared it and attacked.  After a bit a goal mouth scramble the captain managed to poke it into the Deal net!!  Seconds later, the final whistle. 

Wouldn’t allow me to put photo here so view it here

We had won 5-4!  Talk about stressful.  You can see me going nuts in the pic - hands aloft, just between the two Deal Town players.

btw if you type into Google “Deal Town FC” in top position is …. Whitstable Town’s site!  (yes I designed and optimise the WTFC site)
  

This is a subject I’m passionate about.  As most of you know I’m a web designer, but it’s not much use having a web site unless the site is ranked well in the search engines, particularly Google.  So search engine optimisation is all about getting a web site appearing as high as possible when users search for particular terms related to that site.

At present I’m working on sites that specialise in UK walking holidays and cnc routing.

I’m also running a seminar on search engine optimisation on the Saturday 16th September 2006 in Faversham, Kent.  SEO is vital for anyone doing business online.  If you’re interested in attending the seminar or discussing how I can increase the number of visitors to your web site then please get in touch.
