Website Optimization Results

Examples are given below of results achieved. Each website has a Tracker icon at the bottom of the index page which you can click on to see the amount of traffic coming to the site and where it is coming from. See endorsements for comments attesting to the results acheived.

Note: 10/13/2005  The results outlined below are for the dates indicated. Lately, Google results are increasingly varied from day to day, as it makes changes in the factors it uses to derive results. This applies especially to periods when a major reindexing is under way, when a given site may be at the top one minute, and nowhere to be seen the next, only to reappear an hour later.  One such reorganization is underway at present, so results must be checked at frequent intervals in order to get a good measure of where they will stand when the re-indexing is complete.

Copes Islander Oceanfront B&B  http://www.bbvancouverisland-bc.com

This is my own site, so it has had the full treatment on an ongoing basis for roughly a year and I'm still finding new ways to "tweak" it a little higher. The list of search terms for which it appears in #1 spot on Google is lengthy. The site is currently receiving more than 200 visitors a day on average. Test it out yourself using any search terms you think might be used to look for a B&B or other accommodation in Courtenay, or Vancouver Island, or British Columbia, or Canada. .

Some examples from searches on Google conducted Aug 5/03 include:

vancouver island bc -#3
vancouver island vacation rentals #3
canada bed and breakfast accommodation -#2
bed and breakfast vancouver island -#1
british columbia oceanfront bed and breakfast -#1

Singing Sands B&B  http://www.singingsandsbb.com 

This is an example of the results of my search engine optimization work, followed by links management and monthly maintenence. The existing website was bringing in very little traffic. A rough and quick search engine optimization job had been done but it was quite insufficient to get the website anywhere near high enough in search results to garner any search engine traffic. This, unfortunately is usually all you get when you hire someone who specializes in website design to give you a search-engine-ready website.

Texada Island Retreat - http://www.texada-retreat.ca

This is an example of an "Out of Nowhere to the Top" project begun in April 2003. The 'guaranteed' results have been obtained and exceeded, but I'm still working at pushing it further and expanding the number of top position search terms in order to obtain more traffic for the site.

This site is now obtaining top five positioning on Google for a good range of  search terms.
