It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Shelley
Cates. She is an experienced, intelligent professional who
knows her highly specialized business very well. She was
timely, extremely efficient, and offered a practical
solution to optimize one website while creating a new one
for even better internet exposure. She did a spectacular job
understanding the project and being sensitive to the website
content. She works cost-efficiently and very productively
without debate or technology hassle. I am grateful to have
found Shelley and would recommend her to anyone seeking the
consummate SEO professional.

Hi Chris
... "Let me just say that you are fortunate to have Shelley
as your
SEO. She’s referred clients to me for several years
now, dozens of them. Never once has she sought to benefit
personally although I make thousands of dollars every year
from her referrals. But she refers people to me because she
knows how well my program works and she wants the best for
her clients. I’ve had dozens of web designers and SEO
companies approach
me over the years always trying to figure out how they can
piggyback and profit from my program. She’s the only one who’s
never sought quid pro quo."

Hey Shelley,
I just want to say thanks for your assistance with my
website a few months ago. You did not have to go out of your
way to help me research what was wrong with my site, but you
did and it is greatly appreciated. Your expertise used in
making me aware of duplicate content issues has gotten my
site back on the right track.
• I had to
delete all my product descriptions and bullet points because
they were appearing identical on Amazon and associate sites.
I rewrote them and used "webstore widgets" so the new ones
only appear on my site.
• I deleted
my two other webstores with similar products just in case
Google was seeing the affiliation as duplicate.
• I
consistently add original articles (with COPYSCAPE banner)
to add value to my site and avoid being seen as a "thin
affiliate."
I have been
doing a "Google dance" where I rank on the first page for a
few days then disappear back to page 5, etc, then return a
few days later. I suppose Google is still working out if I
am a trusted site. However, it is great to see the site back
on the first page while I make improvements. When I feel the
site is of "good quality" I will submit a re-inclusion
request if I am still being filtered in the results.
Thanks again for your help! I was ready to throw in the
towel and start from scratch. Please feel free to use any of
my email for a testimonial.
Thanks,

"...Let me tell you, I'd be out of business without Shelly.
Work was slow. I was desperate. I tried everything. Larger
ads in the yellow pages was first, and it almost sunk us. I
tried mailers. I tried knocking on doors. She finished in
June, and the work started coming in in July. We thought it
was just a summer rush. Then more calls. All from the
website. We used to get 2 or 3 calls a week from it. Same
format pretty much. Same pictures and stuff. Then the calls
kept going up. We get about 20 calls a week from it now, and
sometimes more. I get 3 or 4 emails a weeks from it, but
most of the customers call us. Every single day we thank
Shelley. I've got 60 workers now, instead of 15, year
