Increase Your Website Traffic Within 72 Hours!
We'll put YOUR website at the top of the search engines - FAST!
If your site isn't getting the traffic it should, chances are it's because
it's not ranked well on the major Internet search engines. According to recent
studies on Internet commerce, over 90% of consumers find the websites they
visit by using "The Big Eight" search engines. If your website isn't located
in the top 20 pages of those engines, chances are your site will never be seen.
What's the point of having an "invisible" website?
The SINGLE most important thing you can do increase your website traffic is
increase your search engine rank.
That's what we do.
HUGE RESULTS... NO EFFORT...
You can spend hours marketing your site using every technique around, but
they will all pale in comparison to getting your site properly ranked. By
getting to the top of the search engines, you can have HUGE amounts of
visitors at your site in as little as 72 HOURS!
HOW THE SEARCH ENGINES RANK YOUR SITE...
When you submit your website to a search engine to be indexed in its
database, it sends a "robot" out to scan your page. Then, using complex
algorithms to rank your page for keyword relevance, the "robot" determines
whether you'll be ranked # 1 or 1,000,000 when potential visitors conduct a
search looking for sites like yours.
Because the search engines are constantly changing their algorithms to help
provide users the best possible search results, there's only one true
solution to high search engine placement.
Us.
WIN THE SEARCH ENGINE WARS!
We understand these algorithms and will use them to get your website on top.
Now you can experience the on-line success you originally built your website
for.
If you're not happy with your website's performance, let The Search Engine
Performance Group put YOU on top.
IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU EVER DO
TO IMPROVE YOUR ON-LINE SUCCESS.
HERE'S WHAT WE DO...
In order to counter the ever changing search engine algorithms, we create
an entire series of "entry pages" for each search engine, for EVERY keyword
you give us! Each entry page is optimized to do well for a different set of
algorithm variables. So instead of having one page struggling to do well
for many keywords on many engines, we simply create separate entry pages
for each keyword & each engine! It's through this unique approach that
we're able to help YOU conquer the search engines.
The "entry pages" act as a welcome screen for your website. They will say a
few introductory things about your site and then ask the visitor to "Click
Here To Enter," taking them directly to your current homepage.
In creating these entry pages we DO NOT make any changes to the existing
structure, content, or functionality of your current site. All pages we
construct will link directly into your existing site. As a result, you
can rest assured that your current website will remain exactly the same.
HOW WELL DOES THE SERVICE WORK?
We'll send you a detailed report of your current search engine ranking on
The Big Eight engines before we begin. Then, once your new entry pages have
been indexed, we'll send you a second report showing how they've done.
You'll be able to confirm the results yourself.
Here's a sampling of some results we've gotten for previous clients. These
examples are for COMPETITVE keywords - not obscure words that nobody's
looking for...
<> 6 top 10 rankings on Infoseek for DIFFERENT relevant keywords
<> 18 top 10 rankings across the major search engines
<> 3 top 10 rankings on Alta Vista for ONE keyword
<> 16 total #1 rankings (and an astounding 40 top 30 rankings across
the different engines!!)
<> 1-2 hits per week exploded to 500 per day
<> 45,000 hits per month grew to 108,000... (and it's still growing!)
CLIENT COMMENTS:
"INCREDIBLE!! Our site is now receiving more hits in a day than we used to
get in an entire month. [My boss] is still eating his words!"
-Bob W.
"I knew the search engines were an incredible marketing tool, but my company
simply didn't have the time to devote to search engine placement. It has
proven to be the best money we've ever spent on marketing. We'll be sending
you some referrals for sure!
Thanks."
-Shelley H.
"I worked for weeks to get good search engine placement, but I could never
crack the top 80...my site was deserted. Within a month [after using our
service], I'd had more hits than I'd had in the last year. I wouldn't believe
it if it hadn't happened to me. Please don't mention a word to the
competition."
-Chris L.
WHAT'S THE COST?
Our services are just $385. This includes:
<> Construction of optimized entry pages for up to 20 keywords
<> Submission to the major search engines (AltaVista, HotBot, Infoseek,
Excite, Lycos, Northern Light & WebCrawler)
<> A complete report of your search engine rankings before we begin
<> A complete report of your search engine rankings AFTER we've finished
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET STARTED?

Yeah. These guys are really good. Enchant and Fates Warning fans should
check them out. Frame Of Mind is a really good prog CD.
On theri web site, you can download sound clips.
Another thing :
Do you think that the Japan version of "Once In A LIVEtime" will contain a bonus track ?

It worked out well for me. I saved the posts of bands I want to check
out and dumped the rest. I'm also a sort of human filter for some of
my friends and the individual posts allowed me to forward those I knew
they may have an interest in. Thanks to Joe for the reviews...

I'm the kind of guy whose musical tastes range from heavy to heavier, so I
was panicing about finding something that you could dance to! Then FII

I actually thought Mercury Rising sounded pretty good this year. Last year I thought they were horrible. Maybe it was the number of beers I had consumed before their set this year?
Actually I just read the other day that Gary Coleman is a mall security guy...

My best friend brought me the "Electric Skies" from the Berklee where he studied guitar with Shaun Michaud. I heard ALOT of progressive music but this album just knocked me of my feet. Definately Dream Theater influenced, but not clones. Really impressive music, not just "musical masturbation" but some really great unique music. The vocals impressed me too, cause I'm used to metal yodlers when it comes to progressive metal. This guy can really sing and has a great voice, sounds a bit alternative to me, but what do I know about alternative music :)
Also finally got ahold of a SH - Carved In Stone CD which is now high on my recommendation list too!
Cheers,

Well, everyone else has weighed in on what they thought of Powermad, now it is my turn. :^)
First off, the required "glad to meet you" notice. It was nice to see the faces behind the names. Nice to meet Rick and Dr. Mosh. I didn't get to me Lisa Marie, tho. (Whaaah!! I want to meet a ytsebabe! :^)
Overall, Powermad was still a train wreck, but slightly better one. I think the bands were better this year and not as many cancelations. There was still a lot of bumping in the schedule, tho, which caused me to miss Soundscape. :^(
I liked Mastermind a lot, bought a couple CDs and found them to be quite excelent. I thought Actec Jade was decent on stage and was good enough for me to buy a CD, which was surprisingly good. It won't suffer the fate of The Quiet Room, I'm sure.... (As far as sitting on the shelf..)
The third day I came only to see Ice Age, whom I've waited a year to see when they canceled last year. They lived up to expectations. Very talented and worked well together. I'm most definitly buying their CD when it comes out.
And of course Division kicks ass. It is a crime that they stick these guys on the last day. Some of the bands there should watch and learn from these guys. Of course, Blevins need to get his ass into shape if he wants to pull this off again... :^)
And I spent a ton of money on CDs of course. I'm slowly going through them and I'll post some reviews as I see fit. Right now, I'll talk about one.
Ken Golden was, of course, there, and when he is there I have to ask him for his recommendation. Last year I picked up Wyzards and Ayreon, which both kick ass. This year I picked up Heaven's Cry, Pain of Salvation, and Mind's Eye.
Pain of Salvation - Entropia: You look at the cover of this CD and you instantly think that this band must be a "Stabbing Westward" clone. That would be far from the truth. I agree with Ken that this band is hard to classify. Think of a Faith No More type of range with the harmonies of King's X and you might come close. They run the gambit from being very heavy to back down to some cool melodic type parts and their lead singer can handle both ends. I think it is a concept album, but I'm still trying to identify what it is. Overall a damn good album.....
The others will come once I get a good feel for them...

Nothing like Dream Theater, I don't hear any influences... more King's X influence and maybe some others.
