I have a website for my business located in Seattle and would like to learn how I can do Search Engine Marketing in Seattle to improve my websites rankings on Google searches.

Hi,
I’m also a business owner in the Seattle area and was in the same boat as you are just last year.
I had a website but nobody could find it. A good friend of mine (who also is a business owner) referred me to a really good top notch SEO company at http://www.seosearchengineoptimizationseattle.com/. They took my website from "I can’t find it anywhere" to the first page on Google! It was the best move I ever made for my company.
You will find out all you need to know from their website. When you call, ask for Dave, he was a really nice guy and held my hand through the whole process of getting my business on page 1 of Google and he loves what he does. I can’t blame him. What’s not to love about helping other people make money and getting paid for it. Well, I hope this helps and that I have answered your question to your liking. Good luck!

I am trying to find out how large the industry of paid search marketing is - between Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.. on a global level. Does anyone have the data on that? I would expect it to be something like $20 billion…. Thanks

combined annual revenue approx = $33 billion

Google = $24 billion

Yahoo = $6 billion

MSN = $3.6 billion

Any recommendations for at least a solid and trustworthy search engine marketing tool? Any tips and tricks?

There are many, many resources, guides and tutorials to learn the basics of SEO. It would be difficult to recommend one over the other. If you’re looking for a specific step-by-step guide I can recommend www.seoborn.com. It’s very inexpensive and I’ve actually gotten positive results with this guide, which is more than I can say for many of the products that I’ve used!

Good Luck!

Are you kidding me? A book? Well first of all a book is not going to cut it. SEO is ever changing and an actual book is not going to be updated. There is a brand new product that just came out like a week ago called Xtreme Rankings. This is your ticket to mastering SEO. I have read tons of SEO ebooks and this is hands down the best SEO ebook I have ever seen! Read it, learn it, make money its that simple! Check out the site below for the Xtreme Rankings Review!

I decided to cancel after not seeing ANY results with over 500 clicks in a three week period. Has anyone had good results? I realize 3 weeks isn’t very long, but I would have expected at least 1 person to contact me out of 500.

Hi - I use Yahoo and see results, not as goog as Google but pretty decent. Some things to consider.

I am a search marketer for a living, so I do PPC alot. Are you on the content network? If so, get off - I really think it is a big waste of your advertising spend.

Also what words are you targeting and how. If your words are to broad, your traffic will be as well.

Example - If your selling computers and you target "Computers" as a word

You may also get people searching for computer repair and computer jobs…you’ve then spent money on a click when the traffic was never qualified.

What does your ad copy look like? Do you tell people what you expect them to do?

If you are landing people on a home page expecting them to find their way - big mistake. Try creating a custom landing page that is relevant to the words your targeting.

Does this help?

I have just signed in Yahoo! Search Marketing to promote my site & it’s complicated - took me over half-hour.

The process of signing up to Yahoo! Search Marketing is definitely more complicated compared to Google AdWords. That’s why Google AdWords is the preferred advertising vehicle for most people. You can learn more about Google AdWords here: http://adwords.biz.tm/

Alternatively, you might want to try professional SEO services that provide you with all-in-one packages for promoting your website online. Here is a list of companies offering SEO services: http://seo.biz.tm/

I know of google AdWords and Yahoo Search Marketing, but what are some other really good internet advertising sites that are free or very low cost to use?

myspace.com
