Needing an SEO Buddy

[johnafrankllin]

As I think, In SEO nothing is the Best. If you are ranking well, you can say that the seo has done a good job only. The best is only possible if you are ranking on 1 and never fell down from there. Search engines regularly change their algo and it put its weight on different factors.
I am also willing to answer your questions.
Please post them here in this forum. or you may come for a live chat with me.

Perhaps you should also ask

What time frame do you expect to start seeing an increase in positioning.

What was the first browser you ever used?

Do you remember when yahoo rocked the world?

Alta what???

Why is google so important?

Relevancy of meta keywords?

What changes will you do to my site and how?
