I'm considering using Network Solutions SEO service. Through a variety of "on-page" and "off-page" work over a number of months, they claim they can get me page 1 natural (not PPC) results in the top search engines for the competitive keywords that I'm interested in. There is no guarantee, of course, but their methods seem right on track.

It is very expensive but if it worked it would be worth it.

Does anyone out there have any experience with this service from Netsol?

TIA,
Maureen

I believe they have different programs, such as just PPC campaigns, which is what I used. From my experience you have to hang on for the long-haul for success, as it takes time for them to figure out which keywords will work, then they run reports and make adjustments, etc., and they ask that you stop all of your own ads (such as Google Adwords). For me this was not good, I'm a small business and can't afford to go a few weeks with no action since I'm internet only. Later I re-started my Adwords and it has taken some time for my organic" keywords to get back to their top positions, some have not resumed even after several weeks, which may have nothing to do with the PPC campaign with NetSol.

We have not used the services of NetSol for our SEO. They may be excellent or not I do not know. However, we have been getting pretty good results on our own.

For example: to rank in the top 10 results for the keyword "table" would be extremely difficult. But, to get a ranking for a product like: "tables for nothing special", including the quotes for an exact match would get you to No. 1 immediately because google responds with-"No results found for "tables for nothing special"

If you have time there is quite a bit of "free" info available on youtube. SEO instruction and advice

The more specific your keyword is to the exact item you are selling will help a lot in gaining high rankings. Include part numbers if that will make them stand out.

Keep in mind always, that to have a high ranking on any particular keyword or phrase doesn't guarantee that someone is out there conducting a search for those exact terms. If you do decide to use NS or anyone else, ask them to provide a report that includes how many times your exact keywords were searched for in a given period of time with-in your sales area.(local, regional, int'l) We used to get quotes from companies looking to run our SEO campaign and they would provide search results that included every search ever conducted for our keywords from anywhere in the world.

Good luck.
