    SEO help needed

    Hello, I own a towing and recovery company and need some help with my website. My site is super basic and I have almost no competition in this area. I actually only have one competitor that is at my level.

    I built the site off of a basic vista print website builder and had my site on the first page for the last couple of months on Google. I tried my hand at meta-tags and I made a bunch of changes and no where near the first page on this last Google update.
    I'm to the point where im going to walk away from it and let someone else get my site to the top and keep it there.

    Get ahold of me with what you may have to offer me.

    Keyword use in domain name
    Important
    The domain name is the main part of the web page address. This chapter tries to find out if Google.com (without Places) gives extra relevance to search terms within the domain name.

    Advice for the domain name
    The domain name 35dollartows.com does not contain the search term "towing decatur illinois".

    If you have a young web site with only a few inbound links, then consider registering a new domain name that contains the search term "towing decatur illinois".

    If you have an established web site with a lot of inbound links, then you must compensate by improving the other search engine ranking factors. <

    Keyword use in page URL
    Important
    The page URL is the part after the domain name in the web page address. This chapter tries to find out if Google.com (without Places) gives extra relevance to search terms within the page URL. Separate your search terms in the page URL with slashes, dashes or underscores.

    a lot of info but be easier if I emailed it to you

    good luck

    In the SEO world, where there are millions of websites struggling to rank in Google Top 10 for competitive keywords, one can't "have almost no competition". What do you mean exactly? That you ranked #1 for your main keywords and other lagged behind considerably? If so, you should have done keyword research to find keywords with a larger number of searches - they would have driven more targeted traffic to your website.

    Your drop in rankings should be connected to the quality of your backlinks, rather than to the meta tags you've changed. Meta data is important, but it can hardly cause dramatical changes.

    You can either someone else do your SEO, or master it yourself. It's no magic - you only have to educate yourself. Google Starter Guide and SEO in Practice are very helpful for a start. You can also use SEO software to automate certain tasks, like rank checking or keyword research I was talking about previously.

    I can do you more backlinks from tested free internet directories for $1 per link. Have done those previously to three websites and none of those doesn't have problems to be in first page of Google results on desired keywords used in links anchor text.

    Try to make sure you are listed on every single local directory possible there are about 20 really good ones

    Then try to get as many reviews on each of local directory sites as you can.

    Also content writing and posting could go along way for your cause as well

    Hi,
    I think you dont need to buy backlink service.Just give your self 20 minutes everyday and post your links to some blogs and forums.Just search "do follow blogs" or "do follow forums" hen find the necessary forums and simply post.

    Ranking for a towing site should be cake. Just post a few links each day before going to bed and keep a blog updated semi-daily.
