I have just had a similar experience with a client paying £2,500 a month for seo.

Another problem with business websites are the ones made by SEOs that are so full of punts to squeeze an extra click out of the SERPs that they make their sites look like they've just crawled out the gutter.

In my experience, people who pay attention to search engines can do well, but those who pay attention to people do better.

For your site:

- research keywords
- decide what terms to target as primary, secondary, tertiary
- change/add pages based on keyword research
- build links, produce content, get involved in relevant blogs + forums

This is a good article:

Brilliant video which says it all.

The problem for businesses who want to implement the points that the robotic lady makes are:

1. YOU need to be an expert in SEO, PPC, website design and conversion, analytics etc.

or 2. you need to find a company that is expert in ALL of these areas.

It never ceases to amaze me how many businesses (including big businesses) have their site designed and maintained by one company, their SEO done by another, their PPC by yet another, with every company having their own agenda and no one looking at the overall analytics and implementing a consistent website conversion strategy.

I reckon you could do a great video on how ridculous that 'strategy' is.

It's an OK video, at best. Talks about the same "basic" stuff that everybody and their dog can find out and do themselves (H1, Img ALTs etc).

The thing that COMPLETELY put me off is his own site, http://www.topskips.com/ that looks completely spammy:

-------------------------------------------------------------

SKIP HIRE CATEGORIES

skip hire bristol skip hire leeds skip hire sheffield skip hire liverpool skip hire nottingham skip hire kent skip hire reading skip hire london skip hire glasgow skip hire leicester skip hire sussex skip hire coventry
-----------------------------------------------------------

I wonder what his site is about? How can anybody seriously rate this guy for SEO lol! Go and follow Will Critchlow or Dan Kennedy or someone for REAL SEO knowledge and not weak, unuser-friendly techniques like this dross. This stuff really gives SEO a bad name
