National SEO
Why National SEO
I was speaking to one of my former colleagues who was an seo consultant at an seo company who l used to work for a couple of years ago, he was just updating me of the seo companies current circumstances regarding there seo services and former colleagues since l left.
He mentioned that he had left the company also and him and another former colleague had setup their own internet marketing company and they was doing quite well for a new start up business.
He also claimed the owner of the previous company had been researching his website and steeling his ideas and trying to compete for the key phrase which he was targeting, he mentioned the search phrase National SEO, now me personally would have not chosen national seo as a search phrase to generate enquiries, but he did and they rank number 1 on Google for it now, only for his previous boss to now target the key phrase national seo and try and outrank him on the search engines for it, now l know its not ethical for companies to do this, but the web is a free space and me personally always like the challenge of competitors trying to outrank me, if you do not except challenges you will become stale, and as we all know search engines like uniqueness and up to date information.
The conversation between my former colleague ended really well and l wished him the best of luck for the future and that hopefully he will still manage to keep his ranking for national seo, but personally l fear not as l know the other seo company have better resources and techniques regarding search engine optimisation and l feel his days of ranking number 1 for national seo on Google are numbered.
Can companies actually look and target the same keywords as you, is it legal?
The answer to your question is yes, there is no law that states that you can copy write a search phrase, it would be great if you could but the web is a free market place and you can promote yourself in any sector without be punished for it
So l can look at the keywords of my competitors? how do you do look at them?
Yes you can look at your competitors keywords, you can do this by simply going to the web page in question and do a right click with your mouse, you will see an option for view source, the source is the back end of a web page, this is what the search engines see and also what web masters work with, coding, you are looking for the meta-tags which are almost always at the top of the page, there you will see meta keywords, these will be the keywords that they are targeting on that specific web page.
Thank you, l did not know that.
