No, I don't use them - you might want to check out the SEO pages, have your web designer work on key words & SEO, etc... If this isn't for you, as for some companies they have worked on & check them out.

One other quick point - take a quick look at my signature - it use a lot of keywords that I am targetting & it points directly to my website. Guess what Google is picking up on - the keywords & the location.

You might want to tweak your signature to Oklahoma City, Moore, Bethany, Forest Park & Warr Acres Plumbing & Gas Service (or whatever your targeting)

Any "SEO" company that says they can get you to the number 1 rank better be in the number one rank themselves, otherwise they can't back up their own words.

Getting to number one is easy, if you pay for it.

Have them prove they can do it organically.

P.S.
I hope you don't mind, but I passed out your URL last night to someone that had a desire to contact you in a thread that you stated for that party to contact you.

If you don't want your URL listed, let me know and I will find it and edit it out.

What area of Chicago or the suburbs where you from?

And, Yes, it is VERY NICE of Nathan to allow us all this major benefit and piggyback off of this sites high rankings for back-links.

I see you figured the CT part out.

Now there is a page on here for trading links, post in there if you want to do that with other CT members.

Another item is go through Google, Live, etc & type in your keywords your customers search on (Oklahoma City Plumbing, etc...) & see who & what pops up to the top. Some of the sites that pop offer free linking which adds in more backlinks for you.

As I stated before look into the SEO threads on here including the 1 by Ivinni. Hope this helps

Get footbridge media to build you a new site. The one you have does not rank well right now. It will take awhile to get it to rank well 3-6 months

Keep the old site and do some ppc for 3-6 months on the old site until the FB site picks up in ranking.

Send me a gift for Christmas with al the extra cash you made
