ctabuk, thanks for your generous offer!
please take a look at one of our sites, www.helandermetal.com
we have managed to get it from absolutely no listings whatsoever a year ago to approx. #34 in Yahoo, approx. #61 in MSN and approx. #141 in Google (for the keyphrase "metal spinning").
I'd be very curious as to your inputs on how we can move up! especially in Google I noticed that there are lots of sites listed before ours that are not even related to our primary search term!
my email is jim@winpath.com

Hi,
Can you take a look at this one: http://www.coolfitwear.com. I just opened this site about 9 weeks ago, and I'm a newbie to e-commerce. My page rank is 0, but on a positive note I've been making sales on a consistent basis starting about a month ago. I'm using Google AdWords, but I'm also using some guerilla marketing tactics -- getting the name out there on Message Boards, event marketing, etc.
I'm curious to see what you think. I got a trial version of WebCEO, but I haven't really looked at it. If you think it's worth going through the exercise, I'll try it.
Thanks,
Sharon

Done, but I had to really go with the tag keywords 'Sports Performance Apparel' - Now I don't think that that is a common search term, but check out your competitors sites and post back here with your thoughts and findings David

Question About Results
David,
First, thank you for sending me the report on our domain. After just a quick review I see that we have done a lot of things right (kinda wish you'd found more problems so I'd have a bunch of improvements to make and get a bump!)
On page 18, the report says,
Yahoo.com directory does not link to your web page "http://www.helandermetal.com/" although it could be important for a top ranking on Google.com for the search term "Metal Spinning". You should try to get a link from Yahoo.com directory.
Yet, when I go to Yahoo and search on "metal spinning" our site comes up on page 4 at position 34. Am I missing something or is the report wrong about this?
Finally, I'm just curious...are you in any way affiliated with the tool you used to generate the report, Internet Business Promoter, or the company that produces and/or markets it?

No I am in no way conected to IBP. It is a tool that I bought and have used for years. I pay for annual top ups so I thought, Heck, why not put it to good use. But that was a reasonable question to ask, had there been a conflict of interest I would have said.
Yahoo Directory is totally different to Search Engine results. Now if IBP are sying that you are not listed in the Yahoo Directory, it could be that they have access to the 'paid for subscribers list' I really don't know. The idea of my doing these reports is really to highlight the top 10 competitors, then by doing a simple "theirsite" in a search box it lists the Directories that they appear in. Then it's back to mundane manual 'list my URL' Hope this helps Cheers David

I knew it was IBP, you are as big an addict as am I.
I read all of page one of this monster thread, so I may have missed this answer on page 2.
You move to IBP 8 or still using 4.0.
I moved to 8 when they updated, but still have the beta running.
Cosmetically much better, and easier to track projects from start to all the involved steps they offer, but generally the same package.
I love IBP as you do (end commercial), but dont use it much since .... "knowing the time doesnt change it", so why concern myself too often.
Just my first chance to say congrats on MOD, you offer an awful lot to the job aside from knowledge.
You are perpetuating the myth about brits being charming.

Thanks Hoptoo, actually I find the Beta version less reliable than 4 - but I'm using both, it is so quick to do a report. Cheers David

Hi, Done and e-mailed - The word Insurance gets used a great deal, but it might just be that your competitors do the same, I've not had to time to read the report, it came in so quick, I went for a record in and out 45 seconds!!

I did notice IBP 8 missing alot, I thought it was due to the Yahoo changes of late.
I never thought to revert back and see if it was the Beta causing it.
I had offered the same free-report service as a "client lure" on my site back when I still thought my website was an efficient way to find them.
