Clyde Thorburn
Search Engine Optimization SEO Specialist In Johannesburg South Africa
CLYDE THORBURN’S SEO CAMPAIGN PROCEDURE
I work from home as an Search Engine Optimization Specialist. I conduct a complete SEO campaign to place and maintain that website and content submissions, that contain your website URL, about your business on the first page of the Google search engine. Many of these Google first page rankings work their way to the first page of Yahoo, Bing and many other search engines. I also provide Regionalized SEO for any location, town, city, province or country that needs to be specifically targeted.
The links to content submissions containing the website url and the website url itself can take anywhere from 1 day to 6 months to appear on the first page of the Google search engine. All the pages in a website, irrespective of the total number of pages, are included in my SEO campaign.
ON PAGE SEO
Together with the client we discuss, using skype voice chat, longtail keyword phrases that most accurately describe their business, products, services and or program that they want to market and promote on the Google search engine.
I validate the popularity of each keyword and longtail keyword phrase using reliable and effective Keyword Selector Tool and validate many other critical aspects needed for an effective and successful SEO campaign.
I inform the client of the longtail keyword phrases that I have validated and will use during the duration of the SEO campaign.
I visit the 'back end' or 'html' of the client’s website via the FTP details provided to me by the client in order to edit the 'Title Tag', 'Meta Tag Description', ‘Meta Keywords' and ‘Robot’ tags according to the validated keywords and longtail keyword phrases.
I examine the client’s website and edit the website content to include the selected validated keywords and longtail keyword phrases. I also place RSS feeds and other important links to maximize the indexing of the website by the search engine spiders. I also create and place a Google Analytics code on each page of the website for statistical analysis and for reporting purposes.
I analyze the client’s website for effective SEO and apply Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics extensively to ensure that the search engine spiders will index the website effectively and efficiently and adhere to Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. I conduct an additional analysis according to a comprehensive checklist and from the findings make suggestions to the client’s website designer to make the necessary changes to the website.
OFF PAGE SEO
I then perform a "Ghost-writing" service where I write content for a press release, article, blog post, forum post and nominated Social Network Companies every day about the client's business, products, services and or program/s. I also write posts directly onto the client’s website in their Blog section as well. I write the title, content and anchor text backlinks in all posts to include the validated keywords and phrases. Unique one way permanent backlinks are created as a result of these content submissions that I submit every South African working day, five days a week, which provide information about the clients business and which also promotes and markets the clients business.
I then hand submit, daily, each unique link created every day by all content submission posts that I ‘Ghost write’, to the Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines. Readers of all these press releases, blog posts, forum posts and articles will equal the "targeted traffic" that everybody wants from their websites. This is over and above the targeted visitors you will get from your website being placed and maintained on the first page of the Google search engine.
WEEKLY REPORTS
I also use Google Analytics and specific tracking codes to report back and prove to the client the effectiveness of my SEO campaigns. I provide weekly, fortnightly or monthly reports, depending on the request of my client, in Excel format to the client every Monday of each week that show;
(a) A listing of the weeks links created by all the content submissions that I ghost-write on behalf of the client.
(b) A listing of weekly views of targeted visits made to all the press releases, articles, blog posts and forum posts by targeted visitors, that I "Ghost-write" on the client’s behalf.
(c) A listing of weekly Search Engine results achieved on the Google, Yahoo and Bing search engines.
(d) A listing of the weekly number of backlinks pointing to the client's website on a weekly basis.

ANSWERS
A. What Is Search Engine Optimization Or SEO?
Search engine optimization conducted by an SEO services specialist generates traffic to websites because they initiate keyword searching. All search engines work in such a way that it takes the words that a user types in the search box in the search engine and then it searches for those words within the search engine's database of websites and page contents. The website containing the most number of instances in which those keywords appear is listed at the top of the Search Engine.Regular first page rankings on a search engine don’t just happen overnight. It takes lots of consistent skilled effort to ensure that your search engine rankings are accurate, stable and long lasting.
Below are a few facts which should leave you in no doubt, that search engine optimization from an experienced and successful Search Engine Optimization Services Specialist should form an integral part of your Business Advertising Plan.
1. 85% of Internet users find websites through search engines.
2. 90% of Internet users do not go past the top 30 search engine results (i.e. the first 3 pages). They simply type something else in, if they can't find a relevant site.
3. 75% of Internet users have the intention of purchasing a product or service when using search engines.The benefits of search engine optimization and hiring an SEO services specialist can be achieved only by executing a search engine optimization campaign. This is essential for your company's marketing strategy on the internet. Applying search engine optimization techniques is the most effective and efficient way of reaching high profit margins when marketing on the internet. As the survey shows, 85% of Internet users find websites through search engines. To make your business more successful on the internet, you need to start a search engine optimization campaign and hire a successful SEO Specialist.
Search engine optimization for your website it not rocket science. It is consistent effort from your chosen SEO Specialist that builds a steady successful business that will eventually lead to great presence on the Google Search Engine. Without consistent SEO effort, your website is doomed to fail on the search engines. Gaining top positions for a website on Google is not brain surgery, it is consistent skilled work.
B. How Would I Benefit From Having My Business Website Positioned And Maintained On The First Page Of Google?
When you first start your business, customers must visit your business continuously to buy products and services. Continuous customer traffic through your business creates sales resulting in financial profits for you. To attract customers, to buy products and services from your business, you need to advertise. NO ADVERTISING = NO CUSTOMERS = NO SALES = NO PROFIT = NO SUCCESSConventional business advertising forces you to approach the customer to convince them to buy from you. Website advertising on search engines has the customer willingly searching for information about your business and your products and services, so that they can buy from you.
So you need to position your "Shop" or "Business" to be one of their first choices that a customer chooses to obtain information from. Your website placed on the first page of Google achieves this.
THE CRITICAL ADVANTAGE FOR YOU here is that with Website advertising the customer willingly comes to you wanting to buy ... whereas with conventional business advertising, you have to approach an unwilling customer and convince them to buy from you.
If you don't have the time or don't have the knowledge or don't have the inclination to advertise your business on Google, then hire and pay me to apply my Search Engine Optimisation Specialist Services for your benefit. This is not a quick fix, as due diligence, persistence, consistency, discipine and focus from me will pay off profitably for your business. It takes time and effort to gain top positions on Google.
I cannot guarantee the business sales because that will be up to you, the business owner, to close the sale. However, there is one thing that I do know, if you have an opportunity or business, whatever it is, I can and will promote it on the first page of the Google search engine and create the massive exposure that your business needs. The rest is in the hands of the owner, you, to close all sales and manage the resultant business transactions professionally.

C. Why Should I Choose Search Engine Optimization To Advertise My Business?
Search engine optimization and the practices of an SEO services specialist are the most cost effective form of advertising with a low cost-per-acquisition (CPA) and high return on investment (ROI). Studies have proven that dollar for dollar, search engine optimization applied by an SEO services specialist are the best form of advertising, online and offline.Search engine optimization and the services of an SEO specialist are proactive. The customer is actively looking for the products and services you provide. Traditional advertising is passive where you are hoping to spark someone’s interest and get them thinking about buying your products and services. Search engine optimization and an SEO services specialist let you target your message to the right people at exactly the right time, when they are looking to buy, at a fraction of the cost of other advertising media and a better ROI.
Compared with other forms of advertising, search engine optimization and hiring an SEO services specialist are very inexpensive. Think about how much your business spends on television, radio, newspaper, magazine and even yellow pages ads. If you were to break these costs down on a monthly basis, search engine optimization and hiring an SEO services specialist would probably cost the least and still deliver better results.
This was tested by advertising in a couple of national US magazines, as well as newspapers, yellow pages and radio spots in some major Canadian cities. The following information represents the average cost per month for each advertising campaign.
Advertising medium: Television (US) – This advertising method was not even investigated as it is way too expensive. Conduct your own investigations into advertising your business on TV in your own area and you will find the same result ….. way too expensive.
Advertising medium: Business magazines (US) - Audience reach: United States - Size, type, frequency: 1/3 column, B/W, once a month - Cost per month: $1,200. The ads in the business magazines were the most expensive, but they provided the greatest audience reached (next to search engine optimisation seo specialist services), and because the size of the ad was larger than the newspaper and yellow pages ad.
Advertising medium: Radio (Canada) - Audience reach: Local - Size, type, frequency: 30-second spot, 60 spots per month - Cost per month: $6,000. We asked to run a 30-second commercial that would be aired 60 times in a month (the recommended number of airings was 100).
Advertising medium: Newspapers (Canada) - Audience reach: Local - Size, type, frequency: Business card size, B/W, 4 times a month - Cost per month: $2,000 - $2,500. Newspapers came in third only because the frequency option we selected was one ad appearing once per week (Saturday issue) and because the size of the ad was fairly small.
Advertising medium: Yellow pages - Audience reach: Local - Size, type, frequency: Business card size, B/W - Cost per month: $180 - $365. The yellow pages came in around the same cost as search engine optimization SEO specialist services, but what good is a yellow pages ad to an online business?
Advertising medium: Search engine optimization SEO - Audience reached: World wide - Size, type, frequency: 10-20 keywords - Cost per month: $249 - $499. Search engine optimization and expert SEO specialist services on the other hand, had one of the lowest costs, provided the greatest audience coverage and with a 24 x 7 frequency.
Note: The statistics detailed above are guidelines, as actual costs will obviously vary depending on market conditions, geographical location and your own preferences.
Which of these forms are you currently using? How effective have they been? Do your own research and see what you come up with. Due to the variables, your numbers will be different. However, when you break them down to measure the overall costs (e.g. CPA, ROI) you will see that hands down, search engine optimization and hiring an SEO services specialist are your best options.
It doesn’t matter what form of advertising you are using for online success, search engine optimization and hiring an SEO services specialist really are the most cost effective and efficient way to promote your business. That’s why search engine optimization and SEO services specialists are gaining in popularity with everyone from small one-person operations to large, multi-national companies.

I. Why Should I Choose And Trust Clyde Thorburn To Provide Me With Search Engine Optimization Specialist Services?
WHO IS CLYDE THORBURN
I was born in Johannesburg South Africa on 26th July 1957. I have three great children, Sean, Duncan and Megan. I am divorced. After compulsory national military service at the time, I joined a large Gold Mining Company here in South Africa and worked for them for 25 years before being retrenched in December 2001.To support myself and my family I eventually had to start and manage many small work at home businesses of my own, as I was unable to find a conventional job in the South African Corporate environment. I joined a local Network Marketing Company and added this to my portfolio of work at home businesses.
As is the case with all conventional Network Marketing businesses I soon ran out of leads. I was not prepared to pay for leads and so searched the internet for 'free leads'. After two weeks of searching I found Veretekk and have not looked back since I signed up with Veretekk on 2 January 2006. Veretekk, now Markethive, is a company that continuously creates, develops and maintains services and tools that entrepreneurs can use to promote their own businesses on the internet and offline. Veretekk, now Markethive, have many top class volunteer trainers who use there own Veretekk assigned web conference rooms to teach any business owner all the important and effective internet marketing tools needed to promote their businesses online and offline.
This is where I was exposed to search engine optimization. I spent 9 solid months learning how to use the Veretekk, now Markethive, system and was introduced to search engine optimization during this period. During this 9 month period I also attended many training sessions delivered by Tom Prendergast, the founder and CEO of Veretekk, now Markethive, and Inetekk. I learnt a great deal from Tom who gave me and all who attended his classes a solid understanding of search engine optimization. At the beginning of 2007, more focused search engine optimization training was given by certain Veretekk, now Markethive, trainers who started training all trainees in the art of effective search engine optimization.
As I was spending all my time building the other small businesses that I had initiated, I decided to shift my focus and spend all my time and efforts on learning to become a professional search engine optimization seo services specialist. I would then make a living by helping people promote their business websites on the search engines. I have and will always continue attending all the SEO classes in Veretekk, now Markethive, . I owe all my knowledge of search engine optimization to the teachings of all the knowledgable Veretekk, now Markethive, trainers, including the CEO of Veretekk, now Markethive, Tom Prendergast and I deeply appreciate all their help and time in teaching me and all the trainees who have also decided to become successful Search Engine Optimisation Services Specialists.
I am now a full time successful professional search engine optimization seo services specialist and provide SEO services to clients to create and maintain first page rankings on the Google search engine for their business websites. During my discussions with you I will show you the many first page rankings I have on the first page of Google for my existing clients and for my own businesses. I will also show you the presence that I have on the internet.
I also have the natural ability to write well and my writing talent promotes websites to the top of keyword categories on Google. The written word is the best ammunition on the internet and is the most effective way of getting your website visited. I use the written word to build links that come back to the website you are promoting. It is all about creating keywords, title tags, meta tags, content and back links pointing to your website. Press releases, ezine articles, posting to forums and blogging are essential to achieve this. Writing these posts on your behalf is called "Ghostwriting" and this is one of the most effective SEO services that I provide for you.
I do not practice any unethical or illegal Search Engine Optimisation techniques to achieve first page ranking on Google for my Clients' websites. I abide by the "Webmaster Guidelines" as specified by Google.

Part of the "Google Information For Webmasters" is a section that provides suggestions, hints, cautions and information for you to identify unscrupulous SEO individuals and companies who are only attempting to take your money and walk away.
