Wow, that site is a train wreck. But it’s not really worth my time for only $25k.

But here are a few tips:

1. Your titles are horrible and spammy. Redo them all. 70 characters maximum.
2. Your descriptions are even worse. Again, redo them all. 150 characters maximum.
3. Way, way, way, WAY too many links per page. Look at your competition (i.e. sites that are page one on Google for “furniture”). See anything in common? Hint: They all have very few links per page. Clean. None of that ridiculous crap in the footer on every page..
4. Bonus tip.. is not how you write a canonical tag.

Yikes, did you guys say you have had ‘professional’ SEOs work on this site?? That scares me… I hope you didn’t pay them much..

Here is an example of your current titles and descriptions:
Commercial Bar-Stools | Restaurant Bar Stools | Counter Stools

MW – If you work for a company losing 200K, spending 300K per month, I would advise you to get on the unemployment line. Sounds like your toast… Seriously. Every company is different. If I had the ability to spend 300K per month on marketing, I would offer a higher bounty. Give your “not named” company good advice. Stop the 300K per month spend and let it go to profit. Sounds like you work for a public company that is always pleased to blow investors money. My company is a family business. Wether or not you think our site sucks, we have been around selling for 14 years online. I’ll agree we are not SEO experts and we need improvements. Im up for the challenge.

Nice topic here Seems most of the points are explained here to improve the result. I believe is SEO is done in the correct way, then websites stays with its position, even if Google updates it algorithm in any form.

MV, Thanks for your comments. I was only responding to your initial comments. And by the way, The email I gave pandahelp@onewayfurniture.com DOES work properly.

Gino, Email me and we can discuss. I guarantee payment on a recovery. Key thing as i mentioned is to give our user a better experience. That goes hand and hand with Panda.

Webo, I wish you were right. A few keywords on page 1 means very little. Our traffic is down 70% from where it was pre-panda. We have probably 65,000 keywords. A few on page one doesnt tell the story. I wish you were right.

Again, anyone who wants to bash, thats fine. We are looking though for some help. That was the goal of this post. Jobs are at stake and we want to be the very nest online furniture company that we can be. Our service is 2nd to none in th furniture industry (well maybe Amazon service is grat also

Perhaps it was not their site at all, and perhaps someone disliked the site at Google. It might be that the Algo isn’t the only thing which sets the results.

Also if a company spending half a million on adsense then wants to give a seo expert just 25,000. Right there is a big mistake. Ranking is everything, spend the adsense budget on the seo expert guys. Want some coffee?

Well, that’s a formula for failure if ever I’ve seen one.

Hi one way furniture, as for as i analyzed your site content it seems that you have indexed pages of Google: 18,300, Yahoo: 39,306, Bing: 34,800, which is more less in number between google and other search engines it is clearly shows that we need to work on onsite seo, So i feel that you need to do the onsite optimization changes and implementations in coding content as well as site content for panda updates also, but i dont think that the prime cause for ranking down is panda alone, if you make the necessary seo implementation by applying onsite tactics it will get ranked Soon… dor further details contact me….

Hi,

I won’t say anything about the site until i work on it. Nothing is impossible, i have made site’s rank even they didn’t had content on them, so your site is good enough to be ranked. We can work it out together.
Mail me if interested.

Thanks

Mitch, I know this is old but I was just linked to it. How did those changes effect your site? I agree with other posters a performance award is not correct in this industry, You know how SEO works it is up and down. Not to mention you have to make sure only one person is working on it. The last thing you want is to piss multiple SEO’s off that think they are going to get some huge reward.

I am interested in your results as I do e-commerce as well. I didn’t have any ill effects from any of the updates, but i have a lot fewer products than you do so its easier for me to hand do each page on my sites for completely correct on page SEO.

Also all the “guidelines” posted here on how long titles should be and all that is complete and utter BS. You optimize pages based on the SERP not some silly standard.

Mitch, Make sure you are hiring correct with your SEO and CUE(?) to make sure you are finding someone who actually knows what they are doing. It is typically hard to find because those folks are typically making more with their efforts than you can pay them, haha. Good luck, shoot me an email if you want to chat.

I have and SEO company and what you are asking a company to do is fix what is messed up and get the traffic results you used to have which can be done. Then you want to pay the reward in payments? To top if off 10 of them! So to do that you are asking an SEO company like Upgrade Promote to gamble on what changes Google makes in the future? I don’t know an SEO company on planet earth that would gamble on this! It’s a waste of time and time is much better spent on paying clients. Who in the right mind would even consider something like this? I think this sounds ludicrous.

I will make this offer to you. Fly a spaceship to the moon on a budget of $25,000 dollars and I’ll pay you $25,000 after you to do it in 10 easy payments! But wait there’s more! lol That’s how unrealistic your offer sounds. Just being real.

i would like to go with Keith point. why no company started with new website and redirect with main website. and always donot depend on Google result. you can also get best traffic from SEM/(socail media). anyways best of luck.
