I recently built two Intuit websites for local business clients that within two weeks took number one placements with Google for the terms we were targeting. Soon afterward, both of these businesses had made more than enough money from their search engine traffic to cover the investment I put into it while building the sites and for the cost of “hosting” for one year with Intuit.
You can learn how to make it to the top of Google.
I’ve repeatedly written articles and produced videos that inform Intuit users that there are seven things that must be done correctly and three that should never be done within the Sitebuilder.
The video below shows how I am able to get great results with the Homestead search engine optimization techniques that are taught in the SEO Extreme Video series. They are available at the Homestead Users website. It is in this series where the secrets to succeeding with search engine traffic are revealed in great detail.
With blog platform’s popularity growing, many Intuit Sitebuilder-users want to integrate them into their Homestead website. There was a time when I spent hours trying to incorporate having one on my Sitebuilder pages using the RSS feature.
The truth is that you cannot have a REAL blog in the Homestead Sitebuilder program.
One of the top three best sellers on Amazon is the Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes. In fact, its sales are beaten only by the Kindal and the new Ipad. I bought one about three months ago specifically to use for making “how to”- videos for my cabinet repair website. I can see why it’s presently the number one selling camcorder on Amazon. The recording quality is outstanding and the price for the digital recorder is right!
I have a customer who gets top ratings with YouTube videos wherein he advertises his Intuit/Homestead website that we built for his guitar lessons business. As we were building the site, I encouraged him to use my small video recorder to make a few YouTube videos. He used it a couple of times and not long afterward found a Filp video recorder on sale for an amazing price and bought it.
Presently, there are over seven-hundred and ninety reviews for this digital camcorder on the Amazon website.
Selecting the correct domain name for your website is very important. This is why extensive research should precede choosing the name. Concentrate on the main keyword phrases in your niche of choice when researching different ideas. You want to keep the name short and easy to remember.
Stay away from using numbers or hyphens in the URL- if at all possible. URL’s like that just tend to confuse people.
Always try to find a good “.com” name. Most people type them into the address box first when looking for a website. In certain cases, however, if you’re a non-profit organization, consider purchasing the “.org” format.
If you want to protect the name, you should buy the “.com”, “.net” and “.org” versions of your domain name. read How to Get Domain Name Ideas

I needed a website built to start up my new business venture. That happens to be guitar lessons in the Sarasota, Florida area. I had heard that Jordy builds websites and that he’s really good at getting top rankings on the search engines of Google, Yahoo and other various search engines-so I decided to give him a try. I have to tell you that I was NOT disappointed!
Within 2 weeks when somebody searched for guitar lessons in my particular city, I was showing up on the front page of all these different search engines. I was so pleased! Business has been coming in and I have to tell you…if you go with Jordy, you will NOT be disappointed!
Thank you for your time.
