Today, March 16, 2008 @ 2:30 PM (Philippine Time) I made a Google search about “Search Engine Optimization Company”. This is not related to the on going UK SEOContest2008, I just wanted to know who are the companies ranking for this keyword.
This blog entry is not a recommendation for any companies listed on the top 10 or being paid in doing so, this is just my personal opinion…and to give you a useful information. For those individuals or business owners who outsource to do SEO for their website, have you asked this question: How could I trust a Search Engine Optimization company who can’t even rank their own keywords? Guarantees Search Engine inclusion, Keywords ranking, increase traffic and affordable payment - are those your answers? Well, most of them promises the same thing but failed to deliver your expectations. No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. Be careful!
And so, I have here a list of the top 10 Search Engine Companies with a brief description, in descending order 10-1. (If you want to know more about their SEO services, just copy and paste the URL to your browser)

Does Google recommend working with Search Engine Optimization companies to make your site a Google-friendly?
Answer:
While Google doesn’t have relationships with any SEOs and doesn’t offer recommendations, we do have a few tips that may help you distinguish between an SEO that will improve your site and one that will only improve your chances of being dropped from search engine results altogether.

Link Exchange Request: Denied or Approved!
Posted on March 6, 2008

Link Exchange!
If you are a Link builder, SEO specialist, SEOptimizer (web marketer/blogger) , I’m sure you are familiar with link exchange campaign (I assumed), this is the basic knowledge in optimizing a website. If you know (I assumed again) there are two factors of optimizing a website - the on-page optimization and an off-page optimization. But I will not discuss it here, right now.
So, back to link exchange.
There are two possible ways of doing the link exchange campaign - (1) Online Submission, and (2) via Email request.
Online Submission - The process is very simple, you’ll just need to fill up a form on the page of the site you are about to contact and then, after filling up the required information such as - your website URL, Title, Description, Contact person, Email Address and the Reciprocal Link URL, hit the submit button…and you’re done!
*Note: This is an example of a reciprocal link exchange form, you’re required to “add” their link before submitting the request. However, there are options where you can choose from a one-way request, without providing a “back link”. (mostly available on directories)
Email Request - Sending the webmaster/owner of the website that you are willing for a link exchange. It would be better to use a customized email link request, don’t use automated software in contacting webmasters.
Link Exchange Request: Denied or Approved! There are many possible reasons why your request was not accepted. And maybe you have already encountered these reasons:
1. I want my link to be added on the page with PageRank 3 or higher, or link page must be indexed by Google.
2. Your link is irrelevant to my theme.
3. You have more than 50 outbound links.
Those are the most common reasons I’ve encountered in doing link exchange requests, not to mentioned the error forms and not working email addresses. Made me sick!
Here’s another one.
4. I don’t want to link to your site because your website is too boring. (just made up!, Lol)
So, why do we do link exchange? I think there are many possible answers, and here’s my opinion: It’s an advantage, it helps your search engine ranking position, visibility, link popularity and of course your readership. And the disadvantage is that, readers may not continue reading and leave your website/blog completely by clicking the links on the article/post.
Before doing the link exchange campaign, just make sure that you have read and understand the criteria/guidelines set by the webmaster.
So, are you interested linking to my blog?
Here’s my criteria: Add my blog first and then inform me with the “location of my link”, and only SEO related websites/blogs are accepted.
Just copy and paste the HTML code:
<a href=”http://seocontest2008.easysteps4u.com”>seocontest2008</a>
Thanks, just let me know when you have added my link.
