Just wanted to updat you guys as to how the forum is doing in Google's SERP's (search enginge results page). Below is a clip from a search on the keyword "softwash forum" and there was an indexed page on page 3 of google. You may think that pretty lame but in SEO terms that is ****ing off the chain!!!! I was not expecting to see this kind of results for about 3-6 months. In time, more and more pages will be making it to the top as more and more content is created with new posts/threads and indexed by Google. Pretty exiting in a nerdy SEO kind of way...haha
All-in-all ... we are all doing a great job and have created something that everyone seems to be enjoying. Looking at the traffic and posting compared to other "soft wash" related sites, we are really doing fantastic for this short period of time. Better yet, most of the BEST contractors in the industry are here. There is a lot more work to be done but I believe this is one hell of a start!

We are getting there. We have had a few bumps in the road, but we are cranking along and closing in on 1000 posts and 31 members. Not bad for only 22 days

Art, after doing a few Google searches for Soft Wash, Roof Cleaning, House Wash and Pressure Cleaning keywords, I would say fantastic! Page one for a few keywords and many others were on pages two and three. For a fourum that has been around for months, not YEARS, that is great. As time rolls on and the forum matures, no doubt we will be on page one for just about every keyword.
The best part is that I did a few searches for members Promo Posts and they absolutely ROCKED! Page one for many of them and it's because this forum software is a SEO machine.
With posts, promo posts and content for Soft Wash shingle cleaning, Roof Cleaning, House Exterior Cleaning and Pressure Washing being added daily ... Google will reward the forum accordingly.
It takes time but we are well on our way and have made great strides in a very short period of time!

This biz can be a fairly "lonely existence." My first two years in were almost maddening, I felt like such a lone wolf. I felt such comfort finding forums like this and realizing there were other guys going through what I was going through. It was inspiring, educational, and enlightening to be able to talk to other people in this business. I truly cannot say enough accolades for good forums, and good camaraderie. For the last year of my life, when I left the place that shall not be mentioned, I felt like something was missing.... So happy to reconnect with all of you guys, and make new friends too!
One of the things that so many non-professionals don't understand is how important it is to have a good professional and referral network in this business. Your competition is not necessarily your enemy. I get way too busy sometimes and send Ray W referrals. His awesome web marketing attracts commercial customers Who he refers to me. At least monthly I talk to guys on the phone who I'm friends with here on this forum. We BS, kick around ideas, and figure out how to rule the world!!! It's great to have friends in the business, and makes a lonely cold world a little more warm and friendly!
Y'all are always welcome to call me for advice, opinion, or just a sympathetic ear to bounce crap off of! Don't mean to sound sappy, but so happy to know you guys!

Every day before I get in my truck I look at the equipment and think about all the work we have completed due to the help of our members here. Although you're not physically there you're presence is felt on every job. Between phone calls, website advice and daily posts here I feel I'm part of a family. More so here than when I was in corporate america.
