SEO Case Studies, See how SEO works

Below I have set out a case studies of a website I have done SEO for over the also 3 years past year. Without going into too much detail of what I did, I have attempted to explain and show how the sites visitors and sales improved with SEO.

SEO in Action Case Study Two
Optimizing a Large E-commerce Website for Google

Invest in SEO and watch the number of visitors to your site grow, and Grow and GROW
This site has been optimized for Google in particular but ranks very well in Yahoo, MSN, Altavista in both Australian. New Zealand & American Search Engines.

This site sells gemstones; the average price for one gemstone is around $120.

When this client first came to us, they had had a website for 2 years, and hadn’t had a single sale. They were getting about 10 to 20 visitors a month, all people they were giving the url to, the site wasn’t in search engines at all for any phrase I checked, well not in the first 40 pages.

We totally redeveloped & redesigned the website, making the buying process as simple as possible using PayPal, and made the site look professional (trustworthy). To keep the price down, the owner didn’t want any SEO work done initially, but I did a little, but to get them started.

They had their first sale 1 month to the day the new site was online.
Within 2 months they had enough sales to have paid for the site redesign.
The owner was very proactive, and went about finding link exchanges for the site, and promoting the website anyway she could.

18 months later she asked me if I could do anything to increase the visitors to the site, they were getting sales, but the sales were irregular and they could easily manage to fill more orders.
At that stage they just gotten 1009 visitors in Jan 06.

She couldn’t spend too much at that stage to pay me for my work, we agreed to 1 hour a month SEO work.

Immediately there was an increase of traffic to the site of just over 600 visitors a month.

By December of that year 2006 they had 5406 month visiting the site.

In October of the year 2007 I did a directory submission, and article submissions, so the number were artifically high for Oct and Nov, but by the end of that year they were receieing 9422 visitors each month.

So far this year March and April are historically slow months for this site, but by June the numbers are upto 10,246.

An Investment of $5300 over 5 years and 5 months has meant so far an increase to 11150 visitors a month and sales are steady and increasing. So much so, the owner is having problems adding new stock fast enough.
