Now compare that to the competition that frequently shows up in similar Google and major search engine’s search results:


TN Web Design :: "Spinning Your Future Identity on the Web"
Custom Website Design: Where? There is nothing in any page of this website that shows what they do, a portfolio or a price sheet!
Website Marketing: This is an offensive external link that goes to a site filled with pop-up ads.
Search Engine Optimization: This too is an offensive external link that goes to a site filled with pop-up ads.
Custom Graphics
Custom Company Logos

Look above at the 3 items highlighted in red. What this reader can not understand is the fact that the last 3 items are one in the same, yet they have it reworded so that it somewhat appears to be different. To http://www.sdwebpros.com/, graphics are important but graphics are graphics. It seems to this blogger that TN Web Design is trying unsuccessfully to implement some sort of page content optimization for themselves???

Now here are a few more “don’ts” we found for the site:

• The copyright expired 4 years ago for the content on this site which means either the site owner doesn’t seem to care about the homepage or in fact they don’t exist any more.


• They offer services like “Search Engine Optimization”, or do they? The link takes you to another unrelated website…not crazy about that!


• Then there is the “Fake Drop-Down” on the home page that again, takes you to a different website filled with terrible coding and offensive pop-ups.

So how did it rank high with http://www.sdwebpros.com/? Ask Google…that’s our answer!

Veteran Web Design:: Website design, marketing, and ecommerce – Home
The biggest “text” statement I can find on the homepage besides the error on line 114, was that the owner of the site is a military veteran and of course during a time of war especially that did tug at my heartstrings a little but immediately I got turned off by the blonde woman intruding on my web page and talking to the top of her lungs. I mean come on, what if I was trying to watch this in a library or maybe in a hospital lounge or in school areas? Things like video commercial containing annoying sound that do not give me the option to first turn them on, are big reasons for me to leave the page quickly and never return!

Information I found form their homepage:
Homepage
Company Page Link: This is a bit confusing but after several clicks you do find a contact template for that I only assume will work.
External link for Hosting provided by another company
Portfolio: Not too bad. There were a few dead/broken links but for the most part I thought it was not bad!
Pricing: This is one I did a bit of research on before I decided to comment. Now, here you have a list of things they do with basic pricing beside them. However, it appears after some research, that you will NEVER get any of those services for the prices listed since things that normal web searchers would consider “standard/included” in fact are not. For example: Veteran Web Design offers an E-Commerce website. This means they offer to build a website for you which would allow you to sell items online. However, their price only includes, well we couldn’t really find out exactly what it includes! We did find out that it does NOT include the actually feature that is key for e-commerce called a gateway. Basically, if you want to sell on the internet, you have to have an e-commerce site and that site has to have a gateway (kind like a credit card machine). I don’t know of any reputable web firms that try to sell an e-commerce website that leaves the client unable to sell but in fact that is the e-commerce veterans seem to be offering!

Bottom Line:

We thought it would in fact be interesting to compare http://www.sdwebpros.com/ to some of the other sites that sometimes display in search results pages so that you could quickly see why they remain on top!

Happy Black Friday everyone and be careful out there shopping today!!!!
