SEO & Search Engine Market the Planet one link at a time

by Lyndon Antcliff on August 14, 2007

One thing I have realised whilst dabbling in the world of SEO consultancy, is that a lot of the business is geographical. I put this down to the fact that people who live in the real world and not online tend to like face to face transactions.

So what I would like to do, is link to a bunch of cool SEO profesionals with geographical anchor text, rather than the usual. As I know geo targeting is quite useful.

If you run a reputable SEO company and don’t have things like “we will submit your site to search engines” and “get your 3 way reciprocal link here” on your website. Or be in any way be a sleaze ball…….

Then I will add you to the list with your geo targeted text, if your place has already gone, then pick another piece of the Planet. Antartica is up for grabs at the moment.

Sphinn this.

Fun.:)

Can I take SEO Yorkshire?

kelvin newman August 14, 2007 at 11:49 am

Did i miss out on the brighton one then!

Lyndoman August 14, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Sorry Kelvin, my bad, I had someone else in there by mistake. Sorted now.

Barry Welford August 14, 2007 at 12:47 pm

I’d like to claim SEO Montreal, if that’s OK. :)

Simon Heseltine August 14, 2007 at 2:21 pm

Well, since Virginia SEO is still available… ;)

Metapilot August 14, 2007 at 2:45 pm

I like that—do you think you could include me using Miami search engine optimization ?

Lee Odden August 14, 2007 at 2:47 pm

“minnesota search engine optimization” ha ha. Marty deserves a link. :)

Laurent Zuijdwijk August 14, 2007 at 2:51 pm

Nice one. Den Haag is still free, isn’t it?

sam sanders August 14, 2007 at 3:49 pm

I don’t understand. Do people actually search for these terms? I can see “new york carpenter” but not “new york seo”. I guess maybe I’m used to dealing with people over http?

Sebastian August 14, 2007 at 3:55 pm

Cyberspace SEO plz ;)

Nice idea!

Lyndoman August 14, 2007 at 3:59 pm

Sam, according to Aaron Walls keyword search tool, 644 searched for seo New York in one month.

In my experience people search for pretty much everything and if you are an SEO and you are in New York, I would think it’s useful to rank for such a term.

Laurent, sorry but I am only adding English speaking sites at the moment.

Bob Gladstein August 14, 2007 at 6:10 pm

I’m about 5km outside Boston, but as the word Boston only appears on my site once or twice it would probably make sense to make it Somerville SEO… although I wouldn’t mind Boston-Cambridge-Somerville SEO.

Lyndoman August 14, 2007 at 6:19 pm

Nice try Bob, lol.

I am sure more people search for Boston than they do Somerville. But, if you want Somerville rather than Boston you probably have more chance to rank for it.

Brendan Picha August 14, 2007 at 7:03 pm

New York City please. Thanks!

Utah SEO August 14, 2007 at 8:15 pm

Thanks for the Utah SEO link!

Bart Gibby - Utah Search Engine Optimization August 14, 2007 at 8:20 pm

I’ll take it all baby !! ya! Dude you rock.

Utah Search Engine Optimization for me bro. Word to all our mothers!

SiteMost August 15, 2007 at 1:34 am

I’m down here in Australia… so I’d appreciate “Brisbane SEO” please.

Thanks

Manny Marrero-Steaprok August 15, 2007 at 3:53 am

wow! This is like hot buttered geo-link funk! Can I have Miami SEO, Miami SEO or any combination you see fit! Big ups!!

Michael-Search Engine Optimisation August 15, 2007 at 7:15 am

I will take the Auckland one. Actually, I am ranked high for Search Engine Optimisation, and Search Engine Optimization, and SEO etc on Google.co.nz, so might as well work on the Auckland one. Beat my employee Harvey/RagePank.

Michael August 15, 2007 at 7:21 am

The pain of the matter is that so few are searching for SEO related phrases! I am getting a few clients from being well ranked, but most from word of mouth.

The time will come when more people know that SEO is a target worth aiming for.

And personally I have found it so easy to get well ranked for SEO related phrases on Google.co.nz. Easier than for rental car related phrases that I am working on for a client. So few know how to SEO here in NZ, they can’t even do it properly for themselves.

Lyndoman August 15, 2007 at 9:47 am

Bart, Utah has already gone, how about Ogden?

The great thing about this is I get to see websites from other cool SEO’s around the World.

Andy Beard August 15, 2007 at 12:44 pm

I prefer to go for phrases that aim for topical verticals rather than regional verticals..

How much does region account for search position within a topic?

Ciaran August 15, 2007 at 3:33 pm

Really cool idea – nice one. I’d love a link for London SEO & Social Media Marketing.

Is that greedy?!

Any time you’re in town feel free to give us a shout if you’d like us to buy you a pint!

(Wonder if that means that this is now a link sale?!)

;)

Ciaran August 15, 2007 at 3:34 pm

Just noticed that Will & Tom beat me to London SEO – any chance we could just have Social Media Marketing London?

Brian August 15, 2007 at 4:02 pm

I like the good-will campaign, I’ll take ,New York Internet Marketing’.

Thanks so much!

Hobo August 15, 2007 at 8:31 pm

Nice 1! “SEO Scotland” please, I’ll even consider a six way non -recip back! :)

Nice article about the “dark art” of social networking, too.

Hobo August 15, 2007 at 8:33 pm

PS – I’ll take Antartica too if it’s not too greedy :)

Utah SEO Pro August 16, 2007 at 3:36 am

hey, that’s not fare on Utah SEO. My site rank’s higher than his for “Utah SEO”.

Jeroen August 16, 2007 at 1:26 pm

I love the idea and I’d love the “SEO Belgium” link. Thanks!

Matt August 16, 2007 at 4:00 pm

SEO Manchester would be lovely, How refreshing for someone to do something like this.

Cheers

Mutiny Design August 16, 2007 at 10:52 pm

Out of interest, do you actually get much conversions for people searching for SEO Cornwall?

I have only ever had one conversion for ‘web design mytown’ in about a year :( – A fairly good one though.

Lyndoman August 17, 2007 at 12:42 am

Jeroen, sorry I’m only linking to English speaking blogs at this time as I like to know what I’m linking to.

I’ve had a couple of conversions, I think you only need to spend 15 mins on it, if it’s a non competitive term a website with a bit of authority should rank well.

And why not rank for something that people search for, it’s not like I’m saying it will bring an avalanche of traffic, but surely it’s worth a 15 minute investment to get one client.

Yuri August 22, 2007 at 6:45 am

Hi, Lyndon

How about “Russian SEO consultant”? ;)

Though, truth be told, I am not sure if there are many other Russian SEOs good enough to work in the English speaking market for a relatively obvious reason and I don’t try to rank for any terms becides those relating to Internet marketing (how niche is that).

Btw, Andy, geo terms account for about 30-35% of SE traffic, generally. I bet you know that, though. The beauty of geo SEO is that you can snatch related uncompetitive terms, if your rivals aren’t savvy enough.

Bill Hartzer September 6, 2007 at 11:55 pm

Hey, I would love to take “Dallas Search Engine Marketing” or “Dallas SEO”. Last time I checked, more people search for ‘marketing’ than SEO, so it might just be fruitless.

Kes Phelps January 28, 2008 at 4:53 pm

Nice idea… could I get SEO Norwich?

Mark Chambers October 4, 2008 at 12:55 pm

Great! I’d love a link please for ‘SEO Surrey’.
