Currently on pages 2-20 (Page 1 within 60 days) for:

Finally decided to give it a shot and stick it out - something I've never done for my PERSONAL rankings. I've been giving clients first page results for years and finally decided to do it for myself =). I started on July 16.

Congrats on your success! 'Creative Web Development' pulls in over 43,715 searches per month (compiled statistics) so that is no easy task .

Isn't it funny how we tend to focus more of our time and skill on a client's SEO/SEM rather than ourselves? That really says a lot about you personally as well as your company, Calvin.

God isn't that the truth - I've seriously considered working on commission with my clients ; they usually end up making more money than I do.

Awesome job. I've found that my organic SEO efforts often take 4-6 months to pay off in Google and in terms of traffic.

That's a pretty good range...I usually tell my clients to expect anywhere between 3 and 8 months depending on keyword competition, domain age, and PR.

Actually, the real search results for "creative web development" is under 25,000.

See the link; http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&q=%22creative+web+development %22&btnG=Search

if you don't put quotations around these terms "creative web development", you get search results that separately include the term "creative", "web", and "development", and that's why you get nearly 200 million search results.

And how likely will anyone search the terms "creative web development", how about simply "web development"?

The best thing to do to enhance your SEO keyword optimization is to make sure that you select the right keywords and terms that people are actually likely to search.

I do some SEO myself but would rather pay someone

Awesome job Calvin. I've found it takes a good 4 months for my SEO efforts to really pay off. Seems like you must know some secret. Any advice you care to share? I know you mentioned Yahoo directory earlier...
