Our company is involved in one of the most competitive online businesses - web hosting. After acquiring 5 separate brands - each with its own search engine optimization in place - we set out to achieve higher listings.

While several of our brands had hired search engine optimization firms, we were not overly impressed with the results, and the associated costs.

I undertook a search for a new firm, and after performing my due diligence - narrowed the search down to @ Search Engine Optimization. Fortunately, their office is geographically near our own office in Southern California and I took our top internal expert in search engines with me to visit. Needless to say, we were very pleased with the expertise and experience that Pierre and his team bring to their business - we hired them to work on one of our brands:
HostSave. HostSave is a discount web hosting brand.

As you probably know, search engine optimization seems to take FOREVER (in Internet time) to accomplish. After several months of submitting and optimization work, our listings began to rise - DRAMATICALLY. Remember, web hosting keywords are among the most difficult to achieve high listings - rivaled only by 'casino' and 'sex' categories.

To give specific examples from our most recent ranking report:

cheap hosting - #1 and #3 on Google, #7 on Lycos, #1 on Yahoo! Web Pages, #1 Fast/All the Web

low cost hosting - #1 on Google, #5 on Lycos, #1 on Yahoo! Web pages, #1 Fast/All the Web

webhosting - #5 on Google, #3 on Yahoo! Web Pages, #2 Fast/All the Web

webhosting services - #2 on Google, #9 on Lycos, #2 on Yahoo! Web Pages, #1 Fast/All the Web

cheap domain names - #1 and #3 on Google, # on Lycos, #2 and #3 on Yahoo! Web Pages, #1 Fast/All the Web

These are extremely competitive keywords, and the rankings are very high. The value of these top listings to our business is unquestionable. We also have numerous other listings for more targeted keywords in the hosting industry. Many of our customers come from search engine keyword searches. Also, you have to be realistic about the time required to achieve great listings - it is a very time consuming process. In addition, as the search engines are constantly changing their algorithms, listings will fluctuate from month to month.

In addition to the excellence of the work performed, the associated monthly costs are extremely reasonable given that we only pay for the actual rankings achieved.

To conclude, HostSave just completed its most successful month EVER! We have signed up more paid hosting accounts this month than any other time in its over 4 year history! I thoroughly recommend @ Search Engine Optimization and their services to you and I would be glad to answer any other questions that you might have. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like.

p.s. - As further proof of our success with @ Search Engine Optimization, we have just begun a new and larger search engine optimization project involving our most important brand. We expect to continue to expand our business with @ Search Engine Optimization in the future.

I am writing this e-mail to let you and your organization, @ Search Engine Optimization, know that you have done an excellent job with your search engine submission services for my company, Fresh Choice Seafood.com, Inc. At first, I was reluctant due to the costs associated with the submission process. However, your services have proved to be very beneficial as our unique number of customers have more than doubled since engagement. I have also been very impressed with the responsiveness of yourself and the technical team.

Thanks again,
Erik C. Popham

I am happy to speak about someone or a company that meets and exceeds all expectations as @ Search Engine Optimization has done for us. Our relationship goes back several years and work was done on several web sites.

When Star Wars was hot, in sixty days we had 1900 hits per day to our Star Wars T-shirt site, thanks to @ Search Engine Optimization.

Most recently, they have optimized our NFL blankets and NFL T-shirts web sites and again, we have gained top billing, listing in the top ten in most search engines!

For example, typing in NFL Blankets, just one of the many search words they
have helped develop, the results are as follows:

Netscape: #1, 2, 3
Ask Jeeves #6
Google #1, 2, 3, 4
GoTo #6, 7, 9, 10
LookSmart #2, 7
Inktomi #2, 3, 5, 7
Lycos #1, 6
NBCi #6, 7, 9, 10

No one company with any product probably will never be recognized as the number one on all search engines. Therefore, what they have done for others and us far exceeds expectations providing that they are enlisted to keep up the web site on a monthly basis.

How many other search engine optimization companies would look out for their client as they have, I do not know nor I wish to find out, as I am very happy with what @ Search Engine Optimization does for us.

Just recently we started a new international web site in English and Russian, but since the Cyrillic language pages have to be uploaded in Russia, I came to realize how little the eastern block people know about Meta Tags and optimization. Needless to say, @ Search Engine Optimization is stepping in to help us achieve our goal by reaching the Russian audience we are targeting.

We highly recommend this company and in all our years of giving
testimonials, not one has ever come back with any complaints. Try them,
you'll like them!

Sincerely,
