One of the ways we’ve gotten our own site to rank so well from a standing start in a relatively short space of time was to do a lot of SEO work either free, or very cheap back in the day, ie SEO consultancy and / or work, basically in exchange for links – assuming of course that they were then happy to recommend us. This is one of the first of these we did, it’s a not-for-profit site called ABIA, or:-
The Association of British Introduction Agencies
ABIA Dating Agencies
It’s run (chaired) by the mother of a client (and good friend) whose own sites we also look after, but this one was always a labour of love as cash is always scarce in Not-for-Profit-land.
Well it’s just had a rebuild by the mighty D3R onto their SEO friendly CMS, and whilst that’s always good thing, in this case it’s also a little nerve-wracking because it already ranks so well, that if the rebuild affects it’s rankings at all, the only direction available for movement in nearly all the target keywords, is down.
If anyone is reading this wondering whether we would consider more Not-for-Profit SEO consulting, in exchange for links, the answer is yes, we would consider it on a case by case basis.
We’re actually working on another one as we speak, but as we are at full capacity constantly these days, the bar has been raised a bit, the criteria are a little tougher on what we need in return, unless of course you are an outstandingly deserving case in which case as we’re so nice we’d probably say yes anyway..
It’s always worth a try..
