Hmmm… I just did a search on “Pocono Web Designers” and found I’m only ranking #4 on MSN Search<\/a>, and #22 on Google<\/a> (well, I show up a little earlier on the list, but it’s work-related.)<\/p>\n

This disturbs me, as once upon a time I was king of all I surveyed.<\/p>\n

Three years ago, three sites I made were the #1, 2, & 3 search results for “Homes in the Poconos<\/a>” (Which of course drew a lot of traffic and leads from New York City)… now I see only one<\/a> is hanging in at #8. (and that site is long gone.).<\/p>\n

See, I know all the tricks, and the places to go for search engine placement and submission. I’ll be more that happy to share some of my secrets. Privately. Nothing I would publish publicly, or all of the other pocono web designers will do it. <\/p>\n

The one trick I can<\/u> share is using the words you want to be found for (Like “Pocono Web Designers”, for example)… on a page that is constantly updated and kept fresh will definitely advance your placement.<\/p>\n

I certainly hope you folks don’t think that’s what I’m up to here, with my constant reference to Pocono Web Designers over and over in this post.<\/p>\n

I’m not saying that I’m not<\/u>.<\/p>\n

I just don’t want you to think it, that’s all. :0)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
