Zen Garden > SPECIAL ARTICLE - I Was at the Point of Giving Up With My Website - Then Something Wonderful Happened! by Gary Simpson

I am very proud of this website, but it almost didn't happen. Read about how things turned around for me and the lady responsible for it.

Hello. My name is Gary Simpson. I live in Perth, Western Australia.

My internet presence commenced in August 2002 after I signed up with what has now become known as a notorious web-host company (if they could be called that). They fleeced me for several thousand dollars at an all day "seminar." I exchanged good money for a litany of broken promises, inferior template design, ongoing costs and shocking service. Ouch! Welcome to the world wide web Gary!

After suffering far too long trying to make that useless scenario work I paid a lovely lady even more money to extract me from their clutches. I struggled along over the next few years with poor listings and quite dismal results. This was despite the massive effort that I was putting in to boost my site in the search engines.

In desperation, I bought lots of so-called "secret" reports from what I now know are self-styled internet "gurus" - all professing to have the "magic formula." None of them were any good. I got so frustrated and angry that I wrote a series of articles called "A Simple Guide to Analyzing All Those Web Traffic Ideas (Parts 1 to 4). Those articles are now all over the net.

I was at the point of giving up. Then, via a mutual acquaintance, I contacted Linda Caroll. Suddenly, I realized that I was talking to somebody who was extremely knowledgeable with website design and all matters concerning the internet. I quickly came to realize that this lady had the morals and ethics so sadly lacking with the first host and all the quick-fix scam artists running riot across the net. My previous frustration now turned back to the enthusiasm I had prior to getting tangled up with all the scammers.

Linda began to teach me her methods through a superb set of manuals she has produced called "Google-This!" She also completely re-designed my website from scratch using those very methods she writes about. What a difference! Yes, you can visit my website to have a look for yourself but the "motor" is behind the screen that you will see. That is where Linda's website coding brilliance resides.

"Google-This" has taught me the value of proper keyword optimization, the value of linkback, page rankings, keyword density and general design and presentation principles. Within days my new site was already listed at number one and two for selected keywords and phrases on many large search engines. Wow! The site hadn't even been finished.

All of a sudden I was seeing search engine robots and spiders literally crawling all over my site. I was getting visitors from so many countries it was mind-boggling. And, looking at my control panel, they are coming via numerous techniques that Linda has used.

Linda Caroll's methods work!

Her "Google-This!" pack should be endorsed by Google itself because it sets out very clearly what the search engines are looking for and how to satisfy those needs ethically.

Linda denounces all the trickery that so many "gurus" and rogues promote. So do I! Their silly schemes work just long enough for them to reap huge financial rewards. Then, all those who paid the high price for the latest "secret technique" pay an even higher price - they fall down the listings or, even worse, are banned completely from the search engines. The rogues then set about promoting a new scheme to attract a new set of hopefuls. Oh Lord!

If your website is failing or limping along like mine was then you need to contact Linda Caroll. Better still take advantage of the "Google-This" pack first. Read it. Study it. Then contact Linda. That will allow you to talk to her from a position of mutual understanding.

I can hardly wait to get the next edition of Linda's website knowledge. She mentioned to me that she has seven books planned. "Google-This" is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, it is the THIRD book of the series. She wrote it FIRST because she believes that it will give more people greater benefits, quicker. I plan to get every one of her books and study them to improve my understanding. I am continually amazed at the depth of her vast knowledge.

I bought all the other junk. I fell for all the tricks. You don't have to. Linda is the real deal.

Linda Caroll stands for good old-fashioned technique, morals and ethics. What better combination could you have?
