Why dont you have a website?

Ron, the two main things that are going to make you rank for a certain set of keywords is 1. the content (ie how many times that phrase appears in the title of the page, the description meta tag, and the page's actual wording) and 2. The anchor text on inlinks to your site.

I rank number one for "pressure washing companies" worldwide because I have links for that exact text coming from high page rank sites. RAD also ranks at the top for deck cleaner, deck stains, deck cleaning, and wood decks because I purposely target those keywords in my search engine optimization campaigns. I don't target "pressure cleaning company's 10 years old" because nobody searches for that term/phrase. That is evidenced by doing keyword research and also by the fact that not one of the search engine results shows that phrase. Google just pull the term "10 year" and tries to match it with pressure cleaning related websites. The google engine is slick and a complex algorithm but it is not human. It cannot take every keyword phrase and guess what someone is actually searching for.

If someone reading this went back and wrote the words "pressure cleaning company's 10 years old" anywhere on there page and put that anchor text in a link in their signature, I can guarantee in two weeks they would rank #1 for it.

The key to all of this and designing your page is making your content match what people are searching for. People seacrh fro generic terms like "pressure washing" and then match them with zip codes, city names or state names.


Ken, great post.

So you feel a sites important like i do. Provo..

Get a site guys, use yahoo. its easy....
 
I think it is extremely important to have a website. I get calls all the time from people saying "I am looking at your website gallery, you guys do good work". A picture is worth a thousand words, they see our truck, our machine and our work....

WHOA Nelly .....
Gotta BE CAREFUL Ken ?
When you have two thousand posts like me on some boards, and you change your signature links to to anchor text links, you are making a BIG mistake !
This "creates" all kind of anchor text links at once, and trips the Google filter.'
I DID this, and went from number one in the world to number 5 to 7 !
Also, I added a second link to my signature.
I was told this "waters down" the link juice of each page ?
IOW, it is better to only have ONE link in your signature ?
 
Hey Ron, I completely agree that a Fancy site isnt really necessary. A functional, easy to navigate, informative site, does way better than one thats flashy. I know I dont want to navigate through graphics, and flash players, and 1200 different pages. I just want your procedure, price or place to request an estimate, and some before and afters with some testimonials.

Scott, thanks

Everyone needs one, that was my only point here.
