The 5 Most Common SEO Mistakes - When Things Start Getting Complicated
(Page 7 of 7 )
If you have a large dynamic online shop, have a large website which uses a content management system, a website that uses session ids for guests, or you are not that hot with html/css, then the contents of any online tutorial or what is on the web, as far as SEO goes, is unlikely to be enough to help you. In short you need professional help. My SEO tutorial is fine for static html pages, and albeit a little short on some of the more propriety methods every real SEO has and would never reveal, it can and regularly does get high rankings for those that follow it closely. However, when you are having to get into mod_rewrites, php path arguments to flatten urls and other technical measures to optimize a website there is plenty of room to screw things up. There are also identical content implications, optimal internal linkage planning and all kinds of other advanced concepts that someone new or even experienced in SEO webmasters should outsource. Of course you may say I'm going to say that anyway as I offer professional services, but you haven't had to be the one that has had to sort out a mess which one client made trying to optimize their own .asp pages. The whole online shop went down for 3 days whilst professional .asp programmers came in to sort out the mess. This is a true story and happened because a beginner wanted to dynamically create the meta tags for each page himself for the search engines as he knew a little .asp programming. I kid you not.
The Solution:Hire me :-)
Well, at least don't try to do it yourself if you really are not sure what you are doing and the domain is of high value to you. You may also risk going over spam thresholds. For the price of less than your average small banner campaign (ABAKUS anyway) you could get it done by a professional.
Summary:If a domain is not your standard static html page, is dynamic, uses session ids, cms etc. save yourself some possible heartache and get a professional in. At least go for a telephone consultation before you wade into the code.
