After hearing the bad news about my cousin's new online business, I told him that we should meet up for lunch some time soon, so I could give him a few pointers about search engine optimization, improving search engine ranking, web site optimization resources, and the things to look for when hiring a search engine optimization company.

He told me that he would make himself available for a meeting at my convenience, so I told him that we should meet up Monday for lunch to discuss various ways he can do some internet promotion for his website. Therefore, we made the appointment to meet up on Monday in Downtown for a business lunch.

When we met up on that Monday, my cousin offered to pay me money for my consultation about SEO tips. However, I told him that God had blessed me with success in the online business world and that I would do my best to help him succeed as well.

After we ordered lunch I started asking my cousin a few questions about the current state of his web site optimization strategies, his current search engine ranking, and whether or not he had done any research about a particular search engine optimization company.

He first told me that he was nowhere to be found on search engines for almost any search term, therefore, his search engine ranking was horrible. Secondly, he said that he currently has no strategy and has done no work in regards to web site optimization, hence he had not done any research about search engine optimization firms.
