Interview with Michael Smith – MetaFever.com
I want to introduce you to an active member of BHW (monsterclicks) who happens to run MetaFever.com. Michael Smith has constantly provided great services not only to the members of BHW, but he has built a solid brand around MetaFever.com
Dave: Everyone wants to talk about how great they are in SEO, so why don’t you tell me about your biggest failure in SEO.
Michael: Years ago I linked up with a group of so called “SEO” guys in India who put in a highly attractive bid for all of our 250 ecommerce websites. At the time I didn’t know much about SEO so they flew in (we met them) and signed a deal with their company and spent over $300,000 expanding their office in New Delhi . . . only to find out months later that they were robbing us blind. So I set out to learn SEO myself and vowed to never repeat such a huge business blunder. Thus I entered into the realm of search engine optimization.
Dave: Wow that really sucks! Since you were primarily an eCommerce guy, how long did it take you to learn the art of SEO?
Michael: For me, it happened really fast once I applied myself. I realized how easy SEO really is – More than anything it’s just a LOT of hard work. I mean it’s On-Site – Content – Backlinks.
Dave: That is true; I find that most people fail simply because they don’t take action with their SEO campaigns. I take it this is where you saw an opportunity?
Michael: Exactly, most internet marketers are focused on doing high levels of analysis and just don’t have the time to do the grunt work of building Link wheels or Link Pyramids etc. So we decided that instead of focusing on becoming a managed SEO agency, we would focus on servicing the DIY SEO clients who knew exactly what they wanted, but just didn’t have the time to either coordinate it all or get it all done.
There is where MetaFever.com steps in and really solves a lot of problems. We have identified the most needed SEO (link building) services and worked hard to provide each of them at highly affordable rates.
Dave: Ok, that last part sounded like a corporate BS answer. What really sets you guys apart from all of the other service providers spread across the various BH and IM forums?
Michael: LOL, busted – ok no more corporate BS. Truth is that when you hire an individual service provider you might be able to save $5 on a given product or service. However, we already deal with over 200 vendors directly and we have taken the initial beating of finding out who is a scammer and who is not. Plus since we buy in bulk we can be competitive with many offshore providers.
Second, each and every service that we provide is manually done. We don’t use software’s like SE Nuke, XRumer, or Scrape Box – so I personally feel that the quality is infinitely better than what others are providing.
Third, we will give you a report with each and every one of our services – you will never have to ask yourself “Did the work get done?” – Because we will prove it was done every time.
Fourth, you can get all of your SEO link building under 1 roof – there is a HUGE convenience factor here that will save you tons of time. We have a pretty slick client management area where all customer reports are loaded and stored. So if you forget what activity you did for a particular domain you can simply login and check.
Dave: It certainly does sound appealing when you put it like that! I know in times past when I built backlinks to my money sites I ran into my fair share of guys who thought they knew what they were doing… Since I am going to email this interview out – is there anything else you think my readers would like to know before we wrap it up?
Dave: Ok thanks Mike, as always it’s been a real pleasure!
Michael: You too Dave, thanks for your hard work and contribution to the industry.
