This is insane: Traffic at nachi.org going through the roof!

Alexa must not do much. I’m showing Bob at over 6 million. James at 2.5 million. And my crappy new website I’m putting together which is on like page 50 is at 600 thousand. Doesn’t make any sense to me.

Hi Jim,

Alexa doesn’t mean much at all until you hit under 100k. The difference between 2.5 million and 6 million is literally one person with the Alexa toolbar visiting your site every 2 days and one person visiting Bob’s every 3 days. If you install the Alexa toolbar on your own computer and visit your site once a day you’ll be under 2 million easily within a few months.

Bob only follows a few of my tips, I’ve tried to encourage him to follow all but Bob has his own style.

What’s much more important is your actual organic rank on Google.
Here’s a few of our NACHI users:

I just Google’d: Chicago Home Inspector, a city with almost 3 million people (and a lot of home inspectors to compete with).

One of Linas’s site with us http://www.mychicagohomeinspector.com/ is #5
One of Bob’s 3 year old site (hosted elsewhere) http://www.chicagolandhomeinspection.com/ is #10
On page 2 of Google both of them have 2 sites. Change the search to Chicago Home Inspection and their positions swap. Bob also had another site on the first page yesterday but he said he was making some changes to it so it looks like it dropped to page 2 for a few days until it gets reindexed.

Search for Dallas Home Inspector, a city with 1.3 million and Rudy Ringel http://www.dfwinspector.com is #2 on Google

Search for Denver Home Inspector, a city with 600k (2.5 million in the metro area) and David Keating http://www.denversbesthomeinspector.com/ is #2

Google Brooklyn Home Inspector, a city with 2.5 million people and 2 of our NACHI users are on the first page: www.abrooklynhomeinspection.com and www.abrooklynhomeinspector.com

We have a ton of users that are #1 for cities around 100k. For example around Chicago search for Schaumburg Home Inspector, Vernon Hills Home Inspector a few other cities and http://www.owlhomeinspections by Rick Maday come up #1.

Now I don’t know what your main target cities are. Your site is http://www.missourihomeinspection.com/ , but no one will search for an inspector by looking up the state (you do come up #2 if you do as your domain name is an exact match and it’s old both huge SEO boosts). I saw a few cities on your home page. I looked up Aurora Home Inspection and you weren’t on the first page, Branson Home Inspector you weren’t on the first page, Cassville Home Inspector you weren’t on the first page. I did notice your ActiveRain account came up on the first page for a few of the above though.

I also looked over your site quite a bit and saw lots of original content and only a few pages of content from NACHI.org, which as I mentioned above, isn’t a problem.

Getting people on page #1 for cities with over a million people is a big accomplishment in my opinion. If you don’t believe what I’ve said and you don’t believe what Google is saying on their official Google.com domain I don’t know what to say!

Hey Dom—:stuck_out_tongue:

This site Hosted by you, and one of your Templates naturally is ranking well–:stuck_out_tongue:

Nice job Dale! :wink:

James does well to because of his URL (hint hint) :wink:

Haha
How much would someone like to make a private wager I could move up in rank with in 3 weeks?

Seriously.

I have certain reasons that I will not divulge.

Any way right now I am working on a new kind of template that actually allows me to paste text over graphics.

Here is a still shot off my practice template not yet published.
The text inside the phone and the images is readable by spiders and will allow me to change looks or graphics at will with no change in content.
You gotta think hard to know what I mean.

The images are ghosts serving as a backdrop is the key.

Yes ,Dom’s advice is best, and no I do not always listen.
I went to Active Rain camp and paid to hear what he tells you guys for free.

This is my first day on this thing ,but here is a look at my prebirth.

Bob, are you drinking again or are those meds making you goofy? You can’t move any higher than you already are. PERIOD!!:wink:

I gotta stick with Nick on this one. When it comes to internet commerce and site building, he has probably forgotten what most of us ever knew…and much more than that…his success has been demonstrated.

“Hey Linus” the guys down at the comedy club said you can go back to “paid” heckling now.
(you just need to promise to stop drinking all that Ouzo in the morning)

I haven’t had a drink or joint in over 2 years, how about you???

You need to lay off the hard stuff.

I think you need to heed your own advice Bob. That stuff is making you delusional. Please get some help, you’ll be better off and you won’t have such a bad attitude. We have free health care now you know??:wink:

Sitting at ENT office right now and trust me it is not free
All they care about is my bank card and the forms
