Offer HN: SEO Help

123 points by SebastianSh 16y ago

Hi guys! I've been lurking here for a while, and I feel like giving something to the community. You all, who help out the entrepreneurs, are more valuable than you think. I want to help your startup with SEO. On-page optimization, keyword-usage, titles, descriptions, link building advice, even some Internet Marketing advice. I've been working as an SEO consultant (on my own) in Sweden for almost two years. In spite of me being in Sweden, most of my clients are from the US, and I've even held a couple of speaking gigs in LA, SF and NY for SMBs. Some clients: IKEA, Scandinavian Airlines (through marketing firms I work with), as well as some niche clothing stores. You could ask your questions here or email hn.seohelp@gmail.com I need: The URL of the website; some keywords and what your site is about. Have a great day, everyone!

  I find it somewhat odd that SebastianSh is unable (or unwilling) to grant that simple request. In other professions (web design, software development, etc) this is usually a sign of missing expertise. What kind of designer or programmer wouldn't proudly show his/her latest creations when asked to do so? However, in this case there might be another reason. Maybe the customers don't want to be used as a reference? This leads to an interesting question: Is it bad for business to publicly admit the use of SEO techniques?
  - SebastianSh 16y ago
    I don't actually do any SEO work for the people asking for help - I simply give them advice and suggestions on how to improve their sites. You are right about publicly admitting to have used SEO. A lot of my clients have requested NDAs, but some haven't. Unfortunately for them, admitting to have used SEO in their minds devalues the company.

Hey Sebastian, great offer! I'd love if you'd take a look at Fridge to Food: http://www.fridgetofood.com http://www.fridgetofood.com Keywords: recipe sharing, foodie community, ingredient search Honestly, I could use help coming up with other keywords. I've been having trouble boiling down the concept into a few keywords. The best I can do is TasteSpotting meets StackOverflow (and eventually LocalHarvest). Shoot me an e-mail at dbingham@fridgetofood.com. Thanks!

- Travis 16y ago
  I think your site is great, but I'd like to share a frustration that I have with EVERY recipe site: I can't find "connected" recipes that use common ingredients. Sure, there are sites where I can enter my ingredients and get recipes, but for a guy like me (single, 28, lives alone, professional job) I'd rather be told what to buy that will make N dishes. In short, I want to buy the fewest ingredients (without having to research and crossreference) that will make a variety of delicious dishes. Something like this may exist. If so, please point me towards it.
  - dbingham 16y ago
    I have no idea if anything exists to do that. I've never found it if it does. I have no idea how to do that, either. But I'll certainly keep it in mind. Maybe once I've whittled down the todo list I'll come back to it and see if I can solve it.

Google have a great SEO Starter Guide up at http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimiza... . I would love to hear how your techniques in a more general sense are different from or build on top of what Google are already providing for free to the public?
- patio11 16y ago
  Google's Starter Guide is to SEO as "Teach Yourself Javascript in 24 Hours" is to programming. It is kind of difficult to describe the ocean in terms of the marginal change in experience from getting your feet wet.
  - etherealG 16y ago
    I get the analogy, but after quite a lot of time making websites, I'm still not sure what I should do besides what is mentioned in this doc to improve organic listings. Perhaps you can take a small area of that ocean and give me an example?
    - seociety 16y ago
      From what I can remember, Google's SEO guides are more focused to on-site optimization; "design well and provide good content, the rest will come naturally". While an SEO consultant might use this approach it is not quite the most proactive strategy. SEO comprises of so many things outsite on-site optimization. I encourage you to read SEO Warrior, a book published by O'Reilly that covers different aspects on the topic. We have also been using the #seo channel on irc.freenode.net in an attempt to build a collaborating SEO community. You are welcome to stop by and ask away.
      - SebastianSh 16y ago
        Yeah, you're right there. Basically, Google is saying that if you build amazing content, and structure your website accordingly, you will get high quality backlinks. If you've spent one day trying to get your site a better rank you know that it's almost impossible. Especially if you're a nobody. You should be careful recommending books on SEO. Google and other search engines tweak their algorithms daily, and many things can be outdated. Join IRC-channels and forums - learn from others mistakes (know where it went wrong), and simply put - just do it. The worst thing that could happen is if you get sandboxed (removed.)

Hello Sebastian, this is a timely offer!

But i'm a bit lost with link building, reciprocal linking, and web marketing in general?

  > What kind of pages? My personal site/consultant site? I don't know what yaggo was thinking, but I'd like to see simply some sites that you optimized for search engines - no matter whether those are your own sites or sites of your customers.

Sorry, the account was created two hours ago, don't have a personal site and any proof that has worked for IKEA or others. PS: SEO must find the correct keywords for a site not the client...
- SebastianSh 16y ago
  I created this account 2 hours ago, yes - but your point is? I read HN every day,I read the comments, and I understand the culture here. I was thinking I could give something back to the community by answering some questions. "SEO must find the correct keywords for a site not the client" - I don't quite understand what you meant by this, so please elaborate. Proof and a personal site; I'm not here to promote my business and I'm not here to brag about my clients/past clients. I simply stated that I have worked with them, and whether or not you chose to believe me or not - your choice!
  - angelbit 16y ago
    "I read HN every day,I read the comments, and I understand the culture here. I was thinking I could give something back to the community by answering some questions." why don't aswer to questions on HN instead of use e-mail? isn't "community" to share with all SEO tips? "SEO must find the correct keywords for a site not the client" part of SEO job is to find the correct keywords for a site and optimize for those, no? but you say "I need: The URL of the website; some keywords" In conclusion i'm work every day with SEO/SEM and in this sector the word "free" is used often for ulterior motives, hence my doubts...why a pro SEO should work for free?(work is time and time is money)...all here. Have a nice day ;)
    - SebastianSh 16y ago
      Some people want secrecy, and some don't. Those who posted here, shall receive a reply here. I don't have any motives behind this, except I want to help people out. Startups have very limited budgets, and maybe someone would like to hire me, and maybe I could end up having a good relationship with other entrepreneurs. Networking first, money second. I'm employed by a company who deals with printers, cartridges and paper, so I have some free time on my hands :)

Hi. I appreciate the service you're providing to the community! I would also like to add that there are keyword suggestion tools such as google's (https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal) that might be worth checking out. What is your take on these tools? I assume it doesn't hurt to use them, but how helpful are the suggestions?
iuguy 16y ago
You might want to try some of Patrick's tips (of Bingo Card Creator fame) here: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/07/17/seo-for-software-companies/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/07/17/seo-for-software-compani... I'd also suggest taking a look at http://www.seobook.com/ http://www.seobook.com/ The one thing I would say is to look very carefully at what you want to achieve via SEO. I'm fairly certain that the majority of potential customers in our sector (information security) don't want to fill in a form, although we do have a few visitors. For us our site is more about communicating what we do for our customers, than getting people to invite us to do work for them, but of course that's a world of difference from trying to get someone to sign up to a web app.
- SebastianSh 16y ago
  I totally agree with you! Basic SEO knowledge could point out flaws, but it does take some experience to make a plan/strategy and purpose. "Would SEO help you or would it be pointless?" If you own a pizzeria in Gainesville, FL - why should you rank #1 for the term "Pizza"? I love what I do, and I hope people who get replies from me see that! :)
- ErrantX 16y ago

Random observation; but for anything related to corporate purchasing the more finicky you make it (within reason) the better it is liked. Middle managers are overjoyed to ring you up, ask for a costing, then ring again for an invoice and finally a third time to give you card details.
  - iuguy 16y ago

It actually isn't a redirect if you have it set up correctly. Did you configure your DNS to point to the Posterous server? If so, your domain should be directly bound to Posterous without a redirect.

What's the first thing you look at when optimizing a site for SEO?

This is amazing - I sent you an email about www.Jobdeals.com (http://www.Jobdeals.com http://www.Jobdeals.com) if you have some time. We're a local services marketplace .. because we cover such a wide market, I'm not sure which keywords we should be focusing on..

I have a special kind of problem with my website on rock climbing weather - the most important forecast pages do not have a lot of text other than the forecast. Advice would be appreciated! http://www.climbingweather.com http://www.climbingweather.com

I would definitely like some link love. We're still working on our MVP so most of the on-site issues are up in the air. Sending an email now.
