I have two websites (both for clients of mine) that I need someone to implement SEO.
SITE #1:
This site has been previously "optimized" by someone who loaded it with phrases and put in meta data. However, it appears to be stuffed, rather than properly optimized. The site consists of about 15 pages, done in HTML. I would have a list of about 15 phrases (probably less). If you have experience doing both SEO work for European and USA markets, this is a definite plus.
I would also like to include 500 incoming links. These must be quality links, in the industry. (Directory submissions are fine, but I do not want "junk" links.)
SITE #2:
This site has already been optimized, and has solid rankings in the search engines. We need to add additional terms. I have about 20 more terms to optimize. Some will be regional specific terms.
I also need this site to have at least 500 (ideally 1000) inbound links. Again, these links must be quality links, not "junk". Directories, social sites, etc. are acceptable as long as they are relevant to the site.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1) Both sites should be optimized using current, best practices. Absolutely NO black hat techniques. I will be checking the finished product, so please do not try to sneak a black hat technique past. :)
2) I will supply FTP access to the site when it is awarded. You will be expected to implement all SEO into the site. Please make sure you have made a recent back-up copy of the site before working on it. You must also let me know when you are working on the as to avoid another webmaster from working on content updates, etc. on the site.
3) I appreciate responses which are relevant to this project. I do read Scriptlance feedback and your profiles, so it is not necessary to tell me everything you do, including throwing in the kitchen sink. :)
4) I will expect to be able to communicate with you via email. Therefore good written communication skills will be very important. I do not expect perfect USA "English", but I do expect to be able to understand your emails and that you understand my comments back.
5) Time Line: Would like to have site #2 completed by the end of this week, if possible. Site #1 can be completed within the next 2 weeks. I'm a bit of a stickler for time lines/due dates. If these are not reasonable expectations, please tell me your delivery schedule and I can more than far about shifting my time line. I just need to be able to know when things will be done, etc. to tell my clients.
6) Payment: 50% upfront to commence, 25% upon "review" of your optimization efforts, 25% when you submit the site to the search engines and provide me with a list of the "links" you have obtained. Payment to be handled via Scriptlance or Paypal ONLY.
7) Please read what others have said about working with me. My above specs may sound "tough", but I'm very easy to work with, and I pay on time, every time.
8) I am looking for someone who can generate SEO results in the search engines. If you do this, I will have additional projects which I will award to you as a private project Scriptlance. If you have worked with me in the past on my projects, you will be given first priority on this project because of your track record with me. :)
9) I know pricing on Scriptlance and on SEO projects. Please be fair and reasonable with your pricing. Value and experience outweigh price, but I do want to make sure that I'm not being overcharged for the service. Be aggressive with your bid.
