Whether your website is shiny and new, or older but in need of a little more search engine traffic, then I can help you with both ethical link-building and onpage optimisation. Contact me for prices and details here.

What Can I Do?

I’ve worked as a freelance SEO for several years and have created several of my own profitable websites by attracting search engine traffic to my projects. Many of the sites I’ve optimised rank at #1 in Google out of millions of other sites – and the methods I use are only those recommended by those who work at Google and other search engines (I keep my knowledge up-to-date and my rankings once achieved, can usually be easily maintained).

Some of My #1 Rankings Include:

Google Search for Lishi – ‘NorthLondonLishi’ charity site ranked #1 of 915,000 Sites [Last checked: 24/03/10]

Google Search for Free Comedy Videos – FreeComedyVideos.com blog ranked #1 of 44.8 Million Sites [Last checked: 24/03/10]

More examples are available on request.

The problem is summed up very well by John Lamerton, and it only became a problem when I moved away from client work to focus more on affiliate marketing. (Now I think the fact I had to study a module called ‘Human-Computer Interaction’ at uni should have been some warning for the future!).

So, it was good timing that as I began to feel this way, I heard about several networking events happening near to me in London. First of all, I bought a ticket for the A4U Expo this year, which takes place in October. But whilst waiting for that event, I came across a free show called the ‘Online Marketing Show’, and I went along to both days of that this week. I even got the chance to sit on an affiliate panel for a debate on ‘the Principles of Affiliate Marketing’ – a nice opportunity to meet new people, especially since it was my first networking event!

There is another affiliate networking event this summer, which is free and specifically for socialising (unlike the Online Marketing Show). Drinks are free drinks and so is the BBQ, courtesy of all the big UK serving affiliate networks!

If like me, you think this sounds like a perfect chance to get out and meet other affiliates (away from a computer screen), then you can get full details and information on reserving a ticket over on the Affiliate Window event blog post, although tickets are limited. (For some reason I couldn’t get the ticket booking site to work through my Firefox browser, so I had to use IE). Perhaps I’ll see you there?

Turns out it can, so hopefully this will help anybody else wanting to install a forum and who hosts their site with Bluehost.
