Having keywords in your domain are important for SEO.

If you go here, you will see the number 1 result links to NaplesCabines.com and the number 2 links to JwpIncorporated.com

I actually did SEO on JWP last year. At the peak of my working on JWP it was ranked in the top 10 on Google for all of the main local and national keywords. I'm talking about search terms like: cabinets, custom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, wall units, custom wall units, etc.
JWP still holds it's placement on many of the keywords (custom cabinets, custom wall units, etc) but got pushed back to the second and third pages for the very competitive terms like "cabinets" because I have not done any SEO work for a long time now.

The funny thing is that I was able to grab national terms, pretty competitive terms like "cabinets", yet I still never took #1 for "naples cabinets". Granted I never focused too hard on that search phrase but you would think I could have automatically taken #1 for that term, yet I never did.

The point is, JWP ranks #1 for all sorts of local terms. But because of the domain NaplesCabinets.com, it's very hard to bump them and take the number one spot. Sure, that's the only term they beat JWP with, and their site kinda sucks, but their domain shows that it's important when picking your domain name.

"search engine submission" is non-sense, don't waste your money.

I was just looking at the sites/companies offering SEO in Naples and Fort Myers, I noticed a lot of the sites offering "search engine submission".

If you are or ever have thought of buying this type of service, don't. It's a complete and total scam. There are three companies that matter and three only. Not four, not ten, and no three ad a half. Those companies are of course Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Honestly, Google is probably more important than Yahoo and MSN combined as far as traffic potential is concerned.

These so called "services" are not only a waste of time and money, you can get it done for free. Here, here, and here. If you really can't let the idea of submitting your site to lots of search engines, you can submit it to 40 of them here.

A new blog just for Naples SEO...

I closed down my hosting account and sold off the remaining sites I owned, to pay off a nice chunk of my medical bills. I'm going to start looking for SEO work in Naples and Fort Myers, or any town in South West Florida for that matter. I need money and I know people need search engine optimization around here.

OK, I have work to do now. I need to get this blog ranked #1 in Google, Yahoo, and MSN for terms like "naples seo".
