Hi folks,

I've paid SEO "experts" in the past and gotten little to no results before.

I have recently been looking into a few SEO software packages available. Does anyone have any good suggestions on which is the best? And the best value?

Obviously they were "experts" rather than being real experts.

There isn't any software that can optimise, pick any three and you will get three different methods, they can't all be right.
Every site is different and needs a different strategy

One thing you might consider is how your signature link is a fully qualified URL, while Chris's and mine are short phrases. Which style do you think people are more likely to go to Google and search for? Change the anchor text in your sig to include a keyword or two ( pickadeveloper != developer ). Anchor text in foreign links is incredibly important; I rank #3 for Seattle night photos, even though the phrase doesn't appear on the page. Signature links don't help much, but every little bit helps.

It doesn't look like you have any recognized links in Google yet; visit the "submit to my directory" forum on this site. In particular, have a look at AboutUs; my entry was created automatically. If you don't have one already, they're very easy to create. Just do a search for your domain, and when it's not found, there's an option to start the article.

Have a look at this blog post on free web promotion methods.

Put up a few quick and easy projects, and find someone in the marketplace forums here to do them for you, so your project list doesn't look so barren. Maybe even write a few articles on things that have been going on in your industry?

Like Chris says, there's no software to do things like this for you, but there are people whoa re happy to offer advice and answer questions.

The best SEO is making sure your site is correctly designed, coded and has good copy text. There are many threads about SEO here which will give you lots of information, not least...

1. Use relevant page titles
2. Use meta tags (description and keywords)
3. Use structured heading tags (h1 h2 h3 etc)
4. Write good copy text

and so on...

i agree with all the above. Best thing is for you to manually do it as software cannot be customized to fit your needs.

The other thing you may want to consider is that, if it's the site in your signature, it couldn't possibly get results in its present state.

It's not a bad-looking site, the idea's good, you're not spamming (that I could see) and your code is reasonably clean.

Your problem is simply that yours is the type of site whose SEO success will depend directly on the number of available projects on the site at any given time. The more projects you have, the easier your SEO will become as you'll have more entry pages to your site, more content, and more links back to your home page from subpages.

In other words, if you want to help your own SEO cause, the best thing you can do is to start plugging the site to people who will post projects to it (without spamming of course.)

No Software Is Good, It would not be called SEO if a program could do the work for you. It would be called a God Send To SEO!
