Ron the clean dumpsters is good but its only showing up for you since thats your actual URL. Im not questioning if your phone is ringing or not, but I will say theres a lot you could do to that site to make it ring way more. Even basic stuff like putting in descriptive title bars, in text links and meta key words would help you a ton. Theres no reason you couldnt be number one for "dumpster cleaning", "dumpster pad cleaning", "grease can cleaning", "clean grease can", "clean trash compactor" or the other services related to that
You could be the top site in your city and probably the state. I just searched pressure washing pheonix though and don't see your site on the first 3 pages or any of the local business listings. From a customer standpoint if I live in Phoenix, Im searching for that and calling the those companies that I see listed. As it is now they wont even have an opportunity to check out your site.
Getting a site is easy. Its building it to make you money that takes some time and reading. Mines no where near perfect but Im listed for searches in all my local towns. Websites are invaluable for todays marketplace. I cant stress enough how a well planned site will return your money thousands of times. This is an internet generation. You want something, 90 percent of people are going to google to find it. If your not there or don' even have a website at all, they are simply going to find someone else.

There is an old saying about being pennywise and pound foolish..
The PressurePros website will generate approximately $40-$50K in work this season (already over $28K).
In 2003 it was mandatory for businesses to have a website. In 2008 it has to look good, be functionable, easy to navigate and rank well in the search engines. Ron, drop a few of those pennies from the million dollar contracts and have a pro build one for you. I don't mean any disrespect but its a pure business decision. You probably pay your salespeople alone more than 90% of the pressure washing companies here entire payroll. A good site will alleviate some of that sales burden. Hell, the profits generated from your $99 advertising alone should cover it.

this thread got me thinking (a little more than usual) about putting up a site. I decided to build my site on google page creator. i am having godaddy host it. the domain only cost $1.99, and with some security and some other business tools the total for this year came to a grand total of $57. not too shabby imo. guys take a look, let me know what you think! www.RightWayProWash.com

My online marketing may be different from yours.
I have to tell you I have been on the web since late 80's
I have seen AOL number 1 and move to last. I have seen yahoo dominate and now Google take control.
I see the future different than some about online marketing.
I have many sites and some may be dramatically improved.
I use them to assist me in my sales, I don’t rely on Google or soon Microsoft to sell advertising to control how my sites seen to the world.
I rely on some primitive old marketing techniques to assist me in getting the people I want information.
Guys, I didn’t ask you to criticize my site, no offense taken.
I appreciate making the point how valuable a site is, that was my point of this thread. I didn’t say my site was better than anyone’s.
You need a website,
I have a pretty high ranking site; I’m not worried about my daily ranking tricks to keep me number one or two. I interested in the people that buy!!!!!!!!!
How long have I been on the third page is what matters to me.
Some of you guys really miss the point, who here need s to be CNN or yahoo? You cannot provide the service or goods they can worldwide.
Does anyone remember AAA this AAA that A- better whatever? That use to be the trick to have your listing first in the phone book. I think some of you are very happy with what you’re doing.
I think some here try to discredit my abilities to use the web; my abilities are way more advanced than most.
I’m surprised ken to see you in this search, the customers will check and do what to know how many years in business. “Pressure cleaning company's 10 years old”
http://www.google.com/search?source...52&q=pressure+cleaning+company's+10+years+old
My sites ahead of yours, Russ is above me. Charlie I didn’t see you on that search, but then you don’t pressure clean. http://www.apexdecksavers.com/ (Ten years in business)
“Deck restoration company's 10 years old” So I ran that search.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...toration+company's+10+years+old&start=80&sa=N
Charlie, I still didn’t see you? I didn’t look very hard. Possibly you might be there by Saturday on my ulr.
Rods www.seedirtrun.com is number one.
My customers are not looking for new guys that build fancy sites. They are looking for the real deal contractors. They are smarter when they use the search engines.
Mr. Fenner…You are smarter than I thought you were. I’m very impressed; did you steal that from me? No I know you know some of the others because I searched. I’m not going to tell all, that’s one I have the advantage on the search because the customers actually check and verify the Dunn that you have been in business ten or more years.
The engine rankings are important, but some look past that. Some even get told buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not dealing with residential home owners; many of my large competitors don’t even have sites still. (Stupid) but they do not. In the near future this is going to hurt.
MY REASON for this post are not to defend my sites, it was to enlighten the bbs PW that travels here. Get a site!
That’s all folks; I hope some understand the above searches and how the search needs to be important to your need s and the customer.
I have customer use only sites, they order and get serviced online. They are for customers only and you need to be set up to get into them. We sell this with our service to them. My customer has ongoing service and emergency’s daily. They do not have to make phone calls, they save time and money.

I think Ron is dead on with this. I dont think it makes any difference to a customer how fancy your website is, the point is getting the customer to look at it. I dont know anything about marketing, but I do know that if the customer never even sees the promotion, it doesnt matter what it looks like.

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.
