How come SEO experts own sites do not rank well?

March 5, 2008 – 9:42 am
Many of our website customers ask us about optimising their websites for better rankings in search engines. They are often courted by various Search Engine Optimisations 'specialists' trying to make them part with hard earned cash with empty promises of guaranteed high rankings. A question to our customers is always 'How do these SEO experts own websites rank in Google?', often many do not appear anywhere near the top except when using an obscure keyword or key phrase. Furthermore, proposals from these companies usually involve heavy investment in Google Adwords first and foremost. This begs the question, is optimising websites for search engines really as relevant as everyone thinks? Relevant inbound links still seem to be one of the most important factors, so is creative blogging, forum posting and social bookmarking the best way forward?
