Search Engine Optimization Portfolio

    Below you will find examples of some of the results that we have been able to accomplish for our clients. Rankings go up and down every day - so some of the positions you see below may be higher or lower than the numbers I have posted. I try to keep this list as up to date as possible.

Also - because you may be in a different region of the US - you may also see slightly different results.

    Please note that these results are ORGANIC results. When you search for something in Google, Yahoo or MSN the sponsored or PAY PER CLICK results will always be at the top of the page above the organic results. You will know they are a Pay Per Click web site because to the right of the listings you will see "Sponsored" The rankings I am quoting below do NOT count the sponsored sites in positioning. Ie. #1, #2, #3. These are advertisements targeted to the keyword phrase. Not actual search engine results.

    Pay per click results are those that companies pay for for their site to show up in those sponsored sections of Google, Yahoo & MSN. You will see them at the top of nearly EVERY search you do and also to the right of the page.

	Here is an example of Google sponsored results - you can see the very faint yellow background around the top 3 sites - and off to the right I have pointed out the word "Sponsored Links" to show you where to look. Google and YAHOO both use this method of placing the sponsored links at the top and using the same format as the real results. It makes the sponsored results look like they are part of the organic results. They do this because consumers are desensitized to advertisements today. 75% of online searchers will actually skip over these sponsored results and go straight to the organic results.
	Here is a YAHOO example. The 3 sponsored results at the top have a light yellow background in this example. Have you noticed in the last year or so that Google, YAHOO and msn no longer put a #1, #2, #3, #4 etc next to the search results? Again, that is because they want the sponsored results to blend in.
	Looking at msn, its a little different of a view - but the same theory. The sponsored listings at the top have a greyish background - and they also have the sponsored listings to the right. In addition they have a little section at the far top right that suggests you "Expand your search". All Paid for Advertisements.

Mark Cook - a realtor in Lake City Florida has 2 sites with me that I designed and do the SEO on.

www.markcookhomes.com & www.realestatelakecityfl.net

RealestatelakecityFL.net is an Alamode site that I did minimal design work to and a complete SEO package on. MarkCookHomes.com I did a full design package and a full SEO package. Because the two sites 'compete' against each other - they rank differently in each Google and Yahoo. because you are in a different region of the US you may see slightly different positioning on the keywords below - but they should be very similar if not exact.
