Never mind the atrocious grammar. And by the way, if you can’t write English properly, you can’t do organic SEO properly, because organic SEO requires writing copy, and you’ve just proven to me that you’re incapable of that.
No, what really got to me was this: “still you don’t have any good ranking on search engines.”
For what???
The first step in SEO is understanding the marketing strategy for the site. Keyword research comes after that. If someone doesn’t know the strategy for my site, they can’t possibly know what (if any) keywords I’m optimizing for, and they certainly can’t know if I’m ranked well in search engines.
As it turns out, this site is actually ranked #1 for the only couple of search terms I really care about. See, search engine traffic isn’t really part of my strategy for this site. This site is all about closer engagement with people who find me through social media – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, my other blogs (which, by the way, are well ranked for the search terms they’re optimized for). It’s also about building my personal brand – Social media is my middle name.
How’s it working?
When I launched this site a year ago, the exact phrase “social media is my middle name” didn’t exist online…anywhere. Today, a Google search on the exact phrase “social media is my middle name” turns up some 9,000 search results. This site is #1 and probably 95% of the other search results link to this site.
The point is, it’s not always about search traffic, and even when it is, it’s not always about being ranked well for the most popular search terms. If you’re ever talking to a marketing consultant or SEO firm and the first question they ask you isn’t some reasonable variation of “What are you trying to accomplish with your site?” – RUN!
I love how it starts off with “how are you? I hope that everything is fine over there,”
Those “Try to get client” emails are always funny! they have no idea what they are talking about so it’s a good laugh! Thanks for the laugh scott! lol
take care!

I want them to increase my business atleast 4 time, I understand that I must have to be on page 1…
I’ve never heard about the concept of investment returning process, but it all makes sense…
There’s a nice book: English Grammar for Dummies – I think we ‘must have to’ consider buying one and sending them to India…
I like your blog, btw…
