I do two things really well, fishing and building fishing websites. If I'm not doing one I'm usually doing the other.

Let me put my fishing knowledge and my website knowledge together for you, I can show you the real power of the web thru advanced site marketing and top search engine rankings.

Web builders that can build you a 'pretty' site are a dime a dozen. It doesn't matter how pretty your site looks, if customers can't find it then you have wasted your time and money.

I can put you on the first page of the 3 major search engines- And then you can let the web work for you!

In addition to this site - FishingReporters.com here are a couple finished sites or sites I am currently working on:

This website, www.fintalk.com is also my site.

Finished Project
Saltwater Fishing at www.Fintalk.com
A Few of search terms and rankings. I can do the same for you for your agreed upon keywords for your website.

Saltwater Fishing Resources - Saltwater Fishing Resources

Saltwater Fishing Charters - Saltwater Fishing Charters

Salt Water Fishing - Salt Water Fishing

Saltwater Fishing - Saltwater Fishing

These are a few of some top rankings for Fintalk.com. There are numerous top ten or Page 1 search results for this site.

I can put you on page one of the top search engines which will mean all the difference in the world between a successful website and one that just sits deep in the search ranks rarely if ever seen by new customers. It is a fact that less than 5% of searchers go past page 3 which means most sites might as well be invisible.  www.fintalk.com

Finished Website - DockOar.com - January 10, 2006

www.dockoar.com

This charter boat website was re-designed and optimized for a Chesapeake Bay Captain operating in Maryland and the Chesapeake Beach region. This site is still fairly new but has seen a drastic improvement in traffic because of some really great search engine rankings.
The remodeled site hit the hit the web in January and started seeing some great search results shortly there after. Sometimes new sites can take up to 10 months for the top ranks to appear and that is only with an aggressive link and marketing campaign.
We optimized the website for:

Chesapeake Beach Fishing - Page #1 MSN, Page #1 Google
Maryland Fishing - Page #1 MSN
Chesapeake Beach Party Boat Fishing - Overall #1 MSN, Overall #1 Google

Please be aware that this site was built new from scratch and it is Google's policy to hold back new sites as long as 12 months. MSN is usually a great sign of future Google and Yahoo ranks but for new sites it does take some extra time to rank well on Google and Yahoo. If anybody tells you any different then they are NOT being honest with you.

Finished Website - FloridaFlatsAngling.com - March 18, 2006

www.floridaflatsangling.com

This charter boat website was designed and built for a top Captain in the Vero Beach region of Florida's Indian River Lagoon. Captain Steve Martin wanted a nice looking site but more importantly wanted to rank high for our agreed upon keywords. Keywords that would increase his business from the web by leaps and bounds. Captain Steve wanted Vero Beach Fishing keywords and I told him I could get that and some Cocoa Beach fishing keywords.
Remember this site is new as of March and top rankings take time but here are some of the terms we optimized the website for:

Vero beach charter fishing - Page #1 MSN
Cocoa Beach fishing charter - Page #1 MSN
indian river lagoon fishing charter - Page #1 MSN

Please be aware that this site was built new from scratch and it is Google's policy to hold back new sites as long as 12 months. MSN is usually a great sign of future Google and Yahoo ranks but for new sites it does take some extra time to rank well on Google and Yahoo. If anybody tells you any different then they are NOT being honest with you.

http://www.bayhogcharters.com

Main Keyword - Chesapeake Beach Fishing - This project project was recently finished in January 2007 so keyword ranks are not really here yet but still the site is already on the Google front page for the main keyword of Chesapeake Beach Fishing.

This was a site for Captain Paul O'Conner of Bay Hog Charters, a fishing charter service in the Maryland Chesapeake Bay.

www.bayhogcharters.com
Captain Paul and my keyword search agree that the best terms for his website are:
Chesapeake Bay Fishing
Maryland Fishing Charters
Chesapeake Beach Fishing
Chesapeake Beach charter fishing
Charter Fishing Chesapeake Beach
and more that pertain to the middle Chesapeake bay region.

Finished Websites and Optimization Projects

Completed Project- Lake Texoma Fishing

www.fossilcreektgs.com

Main Keyword - Lake Texoma Fishing

For Rick and Betsy Sproat. Rick is a Texoma fishing guide located in NE Texas. Rick already had a self-made site that his wife Betsy created. She did a fine job on the website but couldn't quite get the ranks they needed to be competitive with the other Texoma fishing guides.

But now Rick and Betsy already are on their way up the ranks and by spring '07 should be on Google front page. They are already MSN front page for their main keyword.

Completed Project- Costa Rica Fishing

www.costaricasportsman.com

Main Keyword - Costa Rica Fishing

Definitely one of the more competitive keywords. A site in a very competitive market like this can take up to a year to reach the Google front page. But as of Jan '07 this site has reached the number 10 overall spot on Google which is the front page. I do expect some fluctuation from page 1 to page 2 and back again but in the long run this Costa Rica fishing site will settle out on page 1.

Completed Project - Fort Lauderdale Sport Fishing

www.topshotfishing.com

Main Keyword - Fort Lauderdale Fishing - Top 5 Ranking
Another very competitive keyword. FinTalk Fishing completed the search engine optimization for Top Shot Fishing about 8 months ago.

This site has had time for our work to take affect and they are currently as of Jan '07 ranked number # 1 for the main keyword of Fort Lauderdale fishing. But they also rank front page on all 3 major search engines for numerous top keyword phrases.

A few keywords for Top Shot: Fort Lauderdale Wreck Fishing also Fort Lauderdale Sport Fishing and many more...

Completed Project- Punta Cana Fishing Site

www.firstclassfishing.com

Main Keywords - Punta Cana Fishing

At the time of this writing First Class Fishing is ranked # 1 on Google. Although a number 1 position may not always hold form we do expect this site to remain in the top five on all 3 major search engines as it is now.

As we still manage the SEO for this site we expect better results for keywords like Dominican Republic Fishing and other top keywords for the region.

Completed Project - Virginia Beach Fishing and Sport Fishing in Hatteras

www.finseekersportfishing.com

Main Keywords - Virginia Beach Fishing - A Virginia Beach sport fishing website for Captain Bob Robinson. Capt Bob fishes out of VA Beach and North Carolina so he had to rank on top for two separate regions.



Before Fintalk.com started work on www.finseekersportfishing.com it had no rankings. It was invisible after 2 plus years online. Approximately 3 hits per day. Now Capt Bob's site averages 75 to 90 unique (NEW) hits everyday. He ranks for just about every Virginia Beach fishing search you can think of and his business has increased dramatically.




Captain Bob now has the internet and the POWER of the WEB working for him! The smartest thing he could do for his business in todays digital world!

Completed Project - Solomon's Island Fishing

www.fishingcs.com

Main keywords - Solomon's Island Fishing - A brand new website for Captain Ron of SW Maryland and the middle Chesapeake Bay region called Solomon's Island.

Captain Ron and www.fishingcs.com rank on page 1 of Google, number 1 overall on MSN, and number 1 overall on Yahoo for Solomon's Island Fishing.

All ranks are subject to change or fluctuate a bit but at the time of this writing, 1-14-2007, those are the correct rankings.

Completed Project - Columbia River Fishing

www.nwfishguide.com

Main keywords - Columbia River Fishing - Captain Loren Bybee suffered along with a website that was absolutely no where to be found in the search ranks. Again, another charter website with 4 or 5 hits per day. You just can't expect to increase business this way.

After Fintalk web design went to work on www.nwfishguide.com it has risen from the land of forgotten fishing websites and now is on the Google front page for Columbia River Fishing, no easy term I will mention. The term Columbia River Fishing has very many well designed and well optimized websites cmpeteing to rank well for it. A top ten for that term is a prize!
