If you want to get your website high up in search engine rankings, you would do well to get the best SEO agency possible. Obviously, you want an agency that is true to their word and will get you seen for whatever targeted keywords that you want. You will be sure to get back more than what you paid for, since you will get the customers that you are looking for. However, you may find that there are SEO agencies that are less than reputable – as a result, you might want to investigate them by looking into the following criteria…

Past Results – The past track record of a company is the truest measure of the abilities of a company. Quantifiable results should be available to verify their claims. Proof of results they have achieved for the websites of other clients in terms of securing high search engine ratings would be ideal. While some SEO agencies are reluctant to supply client information, they often can put you in touch with clients who are willing to back up their results. If not, inquire about their own website and where they rank in a Google search on the term “SEO agency”.

Timescale – Ask them how long it will take them to get your website ranking highly in Google, Yahoo and Bing. They will not be able to give you an exact answer, but they should be able to say whether you are looking at weeks, months or a year. Avoid agencies that claim that they will get you instant results because anyone claiming that is either lying or using fraudulent methods. Having got their time estimate, ask them whether they are willing to give you a written guarantee. It is not unreasonable to ask for a clause to be written into your contract stating that you want a partial refund should they not be able to deliver within the timescale that they give you.

Reporting – Frequency of their report provision should be determined. The average professional norm is monthly for a full report as well as semimonthly phone calls to provide a quick update. You should request that the monthly report include both a list of all links they have built and a graph illustrating changes in your ranking during the prior month. You should also be assured of their ability and willingness to spend 30 minutes a month in a meeting to answer any questions you may have regarding their plans for the upcoming month as well as their current progress.

Are cookies are bad and do they invade your privacy? We’re not talking about the kind of cookie you eat, we’re talking about computer cookies! It’s not really true that cookies are evil. So, what is a cookie, what’s it made of and what does it do? A cookie is a tiny text file that a web site can put on your computer as you browse the pages on that web site. One thing people don’t understand is that a web site can only read and write its own cookies, it cannot access another web site’s cookies. Cookies are used for storing various items of information, such as a name, or a selection choice you made. This information will be read back from the when you load other pages on the site, or, on return visits to the site.

What reason does a web site need to use cookies? Web browsers are stateless, stateless means that as you through various pages on a web site, each of those pages is a separate and distinct action. For example, the web server does not know it’s the same person that was on the home page that made the request for the order page. This is very different from desktop applications like Microsoft Excel that you run on your computer. The web server sees all page requests as individual requests for pages, not as a continuous visit from you. As you move through a web site and select things and make choices, what keeps you from having to reenter or reselect that information as you load each page? Usually the answer is a cookie.

Occasionally, you may want or need to delete your cookies. You can delete your cookies a few ways. Most web browsers (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, Opera, etc.) have different ways to do this, so consult the help for your browser on how to delete the cache files and cookies.

Each browser is different, so consult your help files for the browser you use (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, FireFox, Opera, etc.) for how to delete the cache files and cookies.
