Ok, against all best advice from the seo spec ops commando team about “being the grey man“, “flying below the radar“, not inviting competition, etc, etc, it’s time for an open declaration of war on the SEO Serps in general.
We’ve gone on (endlessly, and bored most stupid, no doubt) in the past about our site being an ongoing seo demonstration showcasing what we mean by by SEO by design, right from the outset.
Well, truth be (finally and fully) told, we always had some very ambitious plans for the site, and as we approach the 8 month old point, (and especially as somebody slipped up in the previous Video SEO post!!) it is finally time to let the angry cat out of the bag as to our ultimate goals we set ourselves at inception.
We’ve used the standard military tactics of surprise and diversion, smokescreens and outflanking up to this point, to mask our true intent, which was always:
to get top 10 for the big SEO terms, by the one year old point. 
We’ve gone on and on about the “battles” for fairly easy and uncompetitive terms like “SEO Demonstration“, “Superior SEO” etc, and at times we know, invited ridicule or at the very least, patronising and condesending remarks from various forums and their resident “experts” and somehow always managed to bite our tongues (not in our nature at all 
) about our true goals.
….however had we stated them out loud back then, people would just have laughed even more… Well, we’re 2/3 of the way into the mission now, and we believe that people may take it a little more seriously now, as our strength grows exponentially, along with our clientbase.
So it’s now time to come right out with it, and put it all out here, that we’re going all out hell for leather, sh*t or bust..
We want a top 10 for “SEO“, or “SEO services” or preferably both, by the site’s first birthday. How about that then eh? Dumb or what?
We may fail, or we may succeed, that remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, we’re going to keep pushing, right up until Nov 17th 2008, when www.seoibiza.com becomes a precocious one year old brat.
But at 2/3 s of the way into the mission, to us it now looks more possible than it ever has up until this point, and even during the first dark days back in Nov 07 when the site was first launched, we never gave up the vision.
By comparison to back then, we’re now on the home straights.. ..Take a look at Google’s Webmaster Tools reports for last week, and we’re higher still again this week.
Now obviously we still have a long way to go, and the higher you go, the harder it gets, and we have and only 4 months to do it in, but frankly as our clientbase expands, and we get to work on bigger, better, older, stronger & more authorative and powerful sites, and most of the happy owners all keep linking back to us as a gesture of appreciation for a job well done, the whole thing just keeps gathering pace..
Like a runaway train, with the throttle stuck open, going down a steeper and steeper incline.. ..What do we all reckon? anyone taking any bets?
At the one year point we are committed to stopping working on the site actively, and just leaving it to fend for itself as it gathers age.
At the one year point we will also be writing up a comprehensive SEO case study on exactly what we did, and how we did it..
…because we think if we do manage to rank the thing top 10 for SEO or SEO services in less than one year, in amongst what should really be the cream of the SEO world as our competition..
…well, we think quite a lot of people may sit up and pay attention?
..At the very least we expect they might be curious, and it will be free as well, not just another eBook. ..The only caveat will be that you have to read it on our site…
We’re using nothing but white hat methods, and making friends with everybody we work with of course, but we do think we have a pretty good handle on what works and what doesn’t currently, which ultimately is what SEO is all about.
Obviously we know the site’s we’re engaging with now, and who will be contributing their votes for us in due course, and we also know that the SEO spec ops group are currently preparing some major linkbait with the help of the very fit young lady seo assistant we have on our side now…
and we think it’s about 50/50 whether we can get there or not, and so still all to play for.…
..Obviously any outside link help is always more than welcome, but we got here pretty much by being nice to people (except spammers in our way obviously, and in our comments - you know who you are!!) and by knowing our stuff, and we will continue down the righteous path…
Hasta Luego Amigos, …Blog HQ over and out.
