Rethinking Doorway Pages
June 15th, 2010 | Eric | Conversion Optimization
A website has much to offer. Your main page may list all that your company does, but your subpages can be optimized to stand on their own for specific keywords. If you have content that doesn’t sound spammy and sounds focused on the keywords at hand. Don’t have anything “generated” – do it by hand. Content is king, and those who serve the king will find favor.
Real World SEO: Acting on Tangible Results

1. Website
2. ?
3. Sale
My fears are typically perpetuated when their initial opening statement begins like his:
“I just had my site redesigned…”
Or more frightening:
“I know how I want my site to look and have a guy re-doing it.”
Sometimes those sites turn out …
SEO Vs. PPC – Two Branches of Your Site’s Military
One of our counterparts over at PPC Hero, Brian, actually drummed up the courage to compare PPC to SEO. Maybe he’s just flexing his knowledge. Maybe he thought he could sneak this one past me while I laid sprawled out along pool furniture during my annual Ft. Myers, FL holiday vacation. But what he doesn’t realize is that I just purchased …
