It is difficult to tell you exactly how long it may take to get ranked on the various search engines.  Each search engine has it's own algorhythm which computes the listing and ranking of sites based on keyword phrases.  No one has control over those algorhythms except the companies themselves.  Most ranking projects that we have undertaken have lasted 18 months to two years.

The guarantee that we can make is that your rankings will increase by using our methods and suggestions.  Since there are a huge number of variables in any ranking campaign, we cannot guarantee that you will be in the top ten, top five or number one position on the search engines.

That being said, we have had tremendous success using our all "White Hat" methods for getting sites ranked and keeping them there.

Any company that "guarantees" a spot on a search engine is either lying, not telling the truth, or exaggerating their abilities.  No one has control over a search engine's algorithms other than the search engine companies themselves.

Marianne,

Thanks so much for your question.  The Do-it-yourself program is perfectly suited to teach you what you need to know to help your clients.  I would charge a bit for the work however, because while SEO and SEM aren't difficult, they are time-consuming.  For this reason, if I take on an SEO client, I generally charge $125 per hour for doing the work for them.  That is why this concept is so powerful.   You learn the skill and you can charge others for it.

Short answer - Easily remembered name.  Longer answer:  My best friend from college is from New Jersey and has the loud, crazy accent.  In New Jersey, "cabbage" can mean a person's head.  As in "cabbage head."  More frequently, it means "money."  At WPPI I had two guys from NJ who came by the booth and said in their thick accents, "Smaaaart Money!"

I am based about 3,000 feet up and 20 miles West of Denver, CO.  Originally from South Carolina.

My friend from New Jersey used to use the word "cabbage" for two different things. To refer to someone's head and to refer to money. Thus, Smart Cabbage was formed as a way to say Smart in the head or smart with your money.
