Social Networking in Fort Myers
You guys know there is a social networking site for Naples and Fort Myers? It's still pretty small with only 75 members but the members are highly active and lots of business is generated on the site. The site in question is Fort Myers Business Networking so if you get a second why don't you stop by and check it out. And of course it was coded by Naples Web Design.

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.

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".
