Stavros

You mention it is going live in March - I would suggest starting promotion of the site asap as it can take anything from 3 to 6 months to get some pretty good rankings and in your field I would suggest maybe as long as a year.

Have you got a plan?

The holding page as you see it now has only been up for 3 weeks.
we are writing the copy for the SEO currently.

My intial launch marketing will be via paid for adverts.

I have also setup a http://www.wobblyjobs.com/forum/ to generate leads

Stavros you forum link is not valid when I click it

It is generally accepted that only 20% of people searching click the paid adverts which means 80% don't.

What I am suggesting is start your organic stuff now and potentially save some money that you might spend on PPC.

Also if you doing your own PPC campaigns I would suggest using the following tool to help you out

KeywordSpy

Something you must weigh up is the cost of PPC against hiring and SEO company - I recently had a client that had spent £4500 in PPC in a quarter for his campaign, who has now chosen me to do his SEO for him, which is in his case going to cost less the £4500 and his results are there as long as we continue to optimize his site, effectively a fixed cost as opposed to an on going cost of who knows!

The link is fixed no idea why it did not work as all I did was hit edit then close and it was fixed.

You may want to have a look at that Steve.

Like I said that site has probably been up for 3 weeks and we are working our way through the SEO.

I have a meeting with the dev and his seo bod next week to get it squared up.

and once again many thanks for the good advice.
