From the site you can see there is ‘The SEO Proof’ images and links are part of my simple marketing strategy. I was thinking of different tag lines to summarize what this site is about, and what it is that we do. The truth is I am all about the proof. You want to know what SEO can do for your site? I added a few keywords to my list of reported keywords. After a week, I have my first words on the top page of the SERP (Search Engine Result Page). I have not done anything dramatic, just added keyword rich content, and a page or so. I have been working on the layout so that it is much more appealing to the Search Engines. The Proof is in the SEO.
Correctly written pages rank higher and quicker, imagine what we can do for your site.

Great question,
Black Hat SEO can be summarized in two distinct fields. The first field is a new idea and the search engines have not disproved of it yet. The second is the complete disregard to those guidelines. The issue with these methods are that, you the client, take chances on doing something that will get you banned form the search indexes. This means that your site is not found on the banned engine. For instance if you get banned on Google. It is as if your site does not exist. Black Hat will eventually get you banned some techniques do get adopted into the White Hat SEO, but they are proven safe such as the dash instead of the underscore.
Black Hat is more of the dark side of code manipulation. I know it, I understand it, I recognize it and inform my clients of possible issues that will arise from such tactics. I will not turn you in, but I will not associate with any projects that use Black Hat SEO. Ethically speaking I can not associate with these techniques, they will in the end cause more damage to a site then help it.

Yesterday, I ran my Web Ranking Report this is not to be confused with the Site Ranking Reports we run against keywords. No a Web Ranking Report is about general statistics of your site, pages indexed, domains linked specific measuring factors. I noticed that my pages are not properly reported in all the engines. I realized that my sitmap.xml was not present. Since my site is primarily a wordpress blog I used XML-Site Map to automatically generate the site map. It did not included the tags or the categories but did include all of the static pages.
I have a Google webmaster account and uploaded this site map to the webmaster account so I can verify the crawl rates in the future. I will do this for MSN and Yahoo also. By next months report all the major search engines should be reporting and indexing my pages. A major plus for SEO. Just one more aspect to The SEO Proof which you need to do to your site.

As many of my clients already know, I do not reveal any information about there site. I believe that a site administrator to post here when my advice helps them. The problem is that many new clients who are from word of mouth advertising do not have the benefit of knowing what I do. So the SEO Proof is about me taking this blog to the hight that I want on selected keywords.
This is site is the proof the SEO works. I will show you exact benefits of why to use these techniques on your own site. The issues is not if you will optimize your site. but when. I assure you your competition has already begun the task.
