If it was so simple…

…everyone would be doing it. And if that happens, where are you vis a vis the competition? You might argue that if everyone is doing it, then you have to do it too otherwise you would get buried (The Prisoner’s Dilemma). This brings us to the next point.

Search engines are no fools

Search engines are way past the point where they can identify directories that are used solely for the purpose of link building. Directory submisssion services are easily caught out these days. You might actually incur a penalty for being associated with these sites.

There simply aren’t so many directories!

In the early days of the web, sure there were hundreds of directories all claiming with varying degrees of truth that they were the most popular. But with the directories consolidated now, my estimate is that there are not more than 5 good general purpose directories out there.

However, there are certainly some good directories that you must submit to from where you can get traffic and link juice. Dmoz is one great place. If your page is a blog, there are some pretty good blog directories which it pays to be on. In a later article we will take a look at some of these sites. The best ones don’t let you just put in whatever you want, but have an approval process. And that is definitely a good sign.

Be wary of things that seem to easy. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is!

I’m Esa, new owner of SEONotes.com. The transition of this blog is now complete, I’m still doing a bit of redesigning and other updates here, but will resume posting news & views of the SEO world very soon.

My intention is to revive this blog and keep my readers up to date with relevant, interesting and timely updates on what’s going on in the SEO business, as well as tips and tricks for search engine optimization.

Also I will be offering SEO services and website development services at low cost through this site.

Let me introduce you to our services and shed light on some of our plans.

I own and operate the website Estibot.com, a free cheap domain registration and web hosting services at Estibotdomains.com.

I have provided SEO services and Domain development / Website development services exclusively to Estibot subscribers, but with newly increased capacity I can now offer these low-cost services to everyone in the SEO / domaining community.

Together with my trusted staff, we provide a unique kind of SEO / Development services. I have created a system for myself for developing domain names into revenue-generating websites, and have utilized that system to bring about a network of search engine optimized sites that generate continuous revenue and rank well in searches.

Last year, after developing and optimizing over 100 of my own domains, I decided to offer these services to others. Thus, Estibot SEO and Domain Development services was born.

Our services are based on tried-and-tested methods and purely ethical SEO. Our packages are designed for maximum effect in minimal time. Many of our sites rank within the top 10 results within weeks of creation.

Our SEO package is priced at only $47 and consists of the following:
1. A social bookmarking campaign to 25 SEO-friendly social sites. Everything is done manually and unique titles and descriptions/reviews are created for variety. It just works, plain and simple. It’s a great way to get your site indexed and ranked very quickly.

2. A directory submission campaign to 100 SEO friendly directories. Again, we use only manual submissions, and in contrast to many other SEO services, we handle the email verification for you as well! 10 unique descriptions are created for the submissions.

3. A blog posting campaign, complete with high quality site reviews and deep linking. We review your website on 5 of our blogs, and create keyword-specific links to your home page and 5 internal pages. Your home page will get a relevant in-text link from 5 different blogs, and each of your 5 internal pages will get a deep link from one of the blogs. The reviews are hand written by skilled writers, and in contrast to most SEO services, our reviews are real, meaningful reviews based on what your site has to offer, all in impeccable English of course.

The blogs that we use for reviewing your site are as follows:

1. ValuableDomains.us, a website review blog with an emphasis on how a great domain name is the window to your business.

2. Estibot Showcase, a blog about turning domain names into revenue generating websites

3. InnerBlogger.com, a business review blog.

4. DomainBeta.com, blogging about how to benefit from business domain names

5. DailyDropped.com, daily links to business websites

We are constantly adding more blogs to our list. These are aged blogs that we have operagted from the very start, and we make sure that all our blogs are ranked & whitelisted in the search engines.

The next in our blog list will be the Professional SEO Services blog, once that is fully set up.

We also offer website development services. For instance, we develop your generic domain name into an original high quality website, complete with free hosting and a link building campaign for $99 a piece. All you have to do is sit back, we’ll do everything else, and your site will be indexed & ranked in the search engines in no time.

We also provide custom website development and coding services, for details please email us.

Cheers!
