Aaron Wall (SEO Book) say's the following on WBP Alexa rating for webuildpages.com
I write a popular blog and book about search engine optimization. I spend most of my time tracking the latest news and have little time to work on client work. Having said that, I get a ton of leads from people wanting me to work on their site. I don't have enough time to do that though. Not wanting to risk the brand I worked so hard to build, it took me a while to find someone trustworthy enough to send leads at. At a recent SEO conference not 1 but 2 people came up to me and thanked me for referring them to Jim Boykin. It is pretty rare in the SEO field to get thanked in person by strangers that you only met via email, and that shows what a great job Jim does.

Jim has an extreme passion for all things search that comes out when you talk to him. Some people are good at what they do - some love what they do - Jim has both, and it is apparent in the way We Build Pages is run. His excitement is infectious and his campaigns are successful - for these two reasons, Jim will have a client waiting list and a satisfied client roster for quite a long time.

Dan Kramer says "It has nothing to do with Luck"
As lucky as Jim feels, I believe his success has nothing, or very little, to do with luck -- and everything to do with follow-through, honesty, and efficacy. These three characteristics are increasingly rare in the SEO industry and should be treasured when found.

SEO and Link Building Client Testimonials

Our client list is confidential. Many clients are in highly competitive markets, and don't want their competitors knowing who's working with them. We also don't want any competitors analyzing everything that we're doing on the sites we work with.

Jen and Shawn, I just wanted to remind you both that I am very grateful for your time and effort you have shown our account and if you weren't so damn faraway, I'd give you both real big bear hugs right now! :) Heck, at this rate, you've earned about 85% of the naming rights for my first born! I'm thinking "Jeawn". It has a nice ring to it... :) Alright back to work. Peace out! Peter K.

Wow! And double wow! That's incredible. We've certainly seen the level of inquiries shoot up over the last couple of weeks. And we had 70 just in the last 24 hours. For a Sunday that is unprecedented. Needless to say we're up the walls as a result, but we certainly ain' t complaining. Keep up the fantastic work! All the best, Kevin L.

If I haven't told you already, your team of people are the Bomb! When I came to you I told you I was very reluctant about hiring a Search Engine Optimization firm because I was ripped off and sold a bunch of promises in the past-all of which failed. I honestly was still a skeptic until recently. We have gone from off the map for my two major keywords to the top twenty in 5 months so far. I have all the confidence that you can get me in the top ten! A special thanks goes to your optimization expert who has handled my demands for constant changes with such professionalism. I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to be in the top of their field on the web. ( Except any of my competitors !!!) - Randy W.

It was pure chance or a divine intervention that had me call your number in the first place out of all the possible people to call. I am truly aware that my placement on the net has been your direct interest in promoting my business. And it is obvious that many so called web marketers are unable to duplicate your skills. This additional business has generated enough to.... David S.

You couldn't attach yourself to anyone better than Jim. Every one of his clients is #1 in most of the relevant keyword searches they want. As far as I'm concerned he's worth EVERY penny he will charge you. Jim is a straight shooter, goes above and beyond when called for, and will be committed to the things he tells you he can do....My business has exploded on the internet and I don't plan on looking back....Jim will tell you what he can deliver and I feel like he is one of the nicest, most down to earth business people I've ever dealt with. Fred J.

I just wanted to take a few moments to congratulate you on a job very well done! Our site is now appearing on the first page of Google's results for the keywords we were targeting. For some of our best keywords, we are in the top three! I'm sure our competition is ranting and raving over our recent success in the rankings, and our bottom line is showing a definite improvement. This last January was the best January we have ever had. Keep it up!!! Thanks a million, Dan K.

I was so satisfied with the work they did on my first site www. - - -.com that I had them do two more www. - - .com and soon to be a third. [Note: he's up to 9 sites with us now] We Build Pages have got me Google Page 1 Ranking on the first two sites mentioned and I anticipate the third ranking equally as well. I highly recommend We Build Pages to anyone interested in profitable internet marketing. Cordially, Robert S.

Thanks for your email and your staff's attention. Sales were really in full gear last month and I know your team had a lot to do with it. I think you guys are doing a great job and I'm glad I hooked up with you. Please share my feelings with your team. Ed F.

I wanted to take a couple of minutes to let you know how happy I am with your team's work. Shawn has been a real pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our project. He always responds to my messages right away and he put together a nice outbound link page for us (he helped with out title tags too). Chuck took time out of his schedule to help us evaluate some domains, which I appreciate a great deal (should have more work for you soon) :-).

I honestly cannot say enough good things about you and your team. A first class operation across the board that has impacted our business in a big way!

Thanks Jim! Have a nice weekend. Randy

As a new company, we were looking for a way to increase our traffic, our presence, and our business volume in a market with many competitors who are mature established businesses. As the search engines became more sophisticated in how they rank results, we began to realize that we needed outside help quickly with Search Engine Optimization. About a year ago, we began working with the staff from We Build Pages.com.

We Build Pages takes a long-term approach to building rankings with search engines, so it took about 3 months for us to begin to see results. Since that time, month after month, we’ve seen an increase in traffic, and a proportional increase in total sales. Recently, our office staff couldn’t handle the call volume generated by our new visitors, and it took hours to call everyone back.

Return on Investment is important to any business. The return we’ve realized from the investment with We Build Pages is more than 250%. Our order volume is up over 50% since the beginning of the year, and we’ve posted record sales for almost every month we’ve been working with them. Seventy-percent of these sales are from new customers, proving that the methods used by WeBuildPages are both timely and effective. Because more and 60% of customer will order again, we will continue to see our business grow.

Every business is dynamic, and must make changes over time. The a friendly, competent and courteous staff at We Build Pages are always available and interested in our comments about what we see going on with traffic, and have proven invaluable in giving us advice on how to make the web site more effective as we add more products and services. We view We Build Pages as a strategic asset of the company, one that gives us a huge advantage over our competitors.

If you're thinking about increasing your web presence and growing your business, I can tell you first hand that Search Engine Optimization is the most important thing you can do. Finding a company who can effectively deliver traffic is a necessity. Finding a reputable and cost effective SEO is critical. We Build Pages fits the bill. Al F.

Jim thanks for the rankings update and yes, I can't begin to thank you enough. We have more business than we can handle. Mike S.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the link-building, help, tips and etc that you guys do for me and my site. I greatly appreciate it. My father and I went out to dinner last night and toasted you all. Why? Not only are you nice people, but now our site ranks well for several competitive phrases... If any of you are there (Webmasterworld conference) as well, I'm buying a round and I hope your livers are in shape. Hope to meet several of you in person. Thanks, Subbu A.

I can't tell you how amazing Jim and his team have been for our business. We have seen fantastic results since we started with him. He stays right on top of all of the latest information and is more than happy to share. We started from scratch with Jim when he was still working from his house and he trained me to update our own website and some of the ideas behind optimizing our site for search engines to find. Since I met him then, his excitement about the business has been contagious (he's so addicted that he wakes up in the middle of the night to check Google's results). He lives, breathes and sleeps search engines!

We went from a baby website that no one could find to #3 for "[edited out]" and #1 for "[edited out]". We get more business from the web than we could have ever imagined back when we started as a little local store. If you want someone who will work hard to get your site to the very top of the list then please go with Jim. He is so excited about what he does that no one can help but benefit from his expertise. Thanks, Cheryl R.

Thank you very much, I am 100% satisfied with your service, it give me so much surprise, now I am changing my site to a VPS server, I can use more of the advice in you report later. I have a question, what will happen if I use the service which is $XXXX per month? Will the ranking increase more quickly? Li J.

Thanks Jim. You guys have been kicking major ass, I wasn't expecting this much this quickly. Dustin W.

Looks great. No. 1 for "xxx". Wow! Who would have thought that was possible 6 months ago? Not us, that's for sure. Organic traffic has been holding steady at Feb/March levels when normally it declines from April onwards. Because of the seasonal nature of the business it is difficult to measure the exact impact, but I can tell you our organic traffic is currently almost 3 times what it was this time last year. All down to you guys! The trick for us is to try and sustain it throughout the summer, keeping our slow season as short as possible! Ivan L.

Jim and Jen, Thanks for your time and an awesome meeting. Jim,You have done so much in the past few years with your company, Your office space, your employees, their commitment are evidence that you have instilled your positive traits into them and your business. You should be proud. Jen, You are "on it"!! It is uplifting seeing someone your age being so intense and into their work like you are. I can tell you're the type who wakes up with a smile and positive attitude. Michelle and I enjoyed the dialog and the advice. I really appreciate all you have done for me over the years and continue to do. Mark M.

I met Jim Boykin at a Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce Mixer. Jim started working on my Internet Marketing shortly thereafter. I was very impressed with his knowledge of the field. What impresses me most about Jim is that he constantly researches his field and is aware of changes before anybody I know.

In short, Jim is really "into it" so to speak. That is something that you can't fake. I can see his enthusiasm as he relates his experiences with inside the loop stories and tips, such as the people at Google with whom he has met and even toured their operation on the west coast while at an internet marketing seminar.

Because he is excited, I know that he is eager to do his best and won't miss a trick when it comes to serving his clients. He has increased my web traffic exponentially by optimizing my web website for search engines that have been popular - no matter what's around the corner, I know Jim is on it.

Another thing that impressed me about Jim is that he has had several opportunities to nickel and dime me, I may not have known different. But he has consistently taken the high road and done the right thing. Even when he could have improved his bottom line by charges that were legitimate, he has shown generosity, for that I call him a friend. When I pay Jim for hours spent in advance I KNOW He is doing all the work contracted for... and then some. I believe in delegating work to the experts. Jim has earned my trust.
Sincerely, Mitch F.

Long story short, we are in the middle of a BIG MOVE and all the quality traffic you've been driving to our web site has been keeping us busy. There hasn't been a night (except for maybe today, Memorial Day) where myself and our entire staff has not been burning the mid night oil trying to keep up with all the customers! <---- Oh yeah, this is a GOOD THING. Sleep is over rated! :) Thanks for kicking ass (you are link ninjas...)! Brett B.

Let Rita, Jim, and everyone else know we are EXTREMELY grateful for the excellent work you have done for us thus far, and that after the pizza party tomorrow, it's time to get back to work and start kicking some even MORE ass as this is just the beginning! :)

Thanks again for everything, and well, enjoy tomorrow! No brown bag lunch for you! :) Bret B.

I am writing this letter to thank you for all the hard work and dedication your team has put forth into the marketing of my website. I appreciate your attentiveness to my many questions and the time you have spent with me on the phone, online, and via email. I can testify to your professionalism, knowledge of your field and your fair and honest business practices.

When I first met with Jim he was extremely optimistic about my sites potential and suggested that we tune up my website in order to score higher in the search engines for my keywords. Next we submitted my website to the various search engines and directories. Within three weeks, my relevant emails went from three a day to seven. My partner who answers the phone said the calls to the 800 number went from fifteen a day to over forty a day and sales went from two a week to four a week. I immediately called Jim and he said wait until the Google dance (This is when Google Ranks your website).

Well, the Google dance takes place and [edited out this company name] is #1 for the keywords [3 phrases edited out]!

My relevant emails went from seven a day to fifteen, calls to the 800 number went from forty a day to ninety a day, and sales went from four a week to ten a week. People were calling our 800 number thinking that they were actually calling the [edited manufacturing company out] because we came up #1 and #3 in the Google search engine for that companies name.

Since we were having such success with the search engines, Jim suggested we try for #1 For the phrases [edited out] and [edited out]. I was skeptical at first because we do not sell many of either of these products, but Jim knows best. After the next Google dance we went to #1 for both of those targeted phrases! Our sales for [item 1] went from two pieces a year to two pieces a week each week. Our sales [item 2] went from four a year to two a week each week. The average price for [item 2] is $6,000.

Jim, when it comes to the internet marketing of my website, you have gained my complete and full trust. Whatever you need, just ask. Our business has reached new heights that before I met you, I never would have dreamed of. I'm so glad you enjoy your work so much, because of this, I know my business is well on its way to continued success. Keep up the great work! Sincerely yours, Adam C.

Just wanted you to know that now I have 41 of my keyword phrases in the top 10! I hope the new site and optimizing keeps it rolling! You guys have done an awesome job! If you have any more suggestions count me in. I don't know if you remember but my goal was to get 2000 natural applications a month by year end. August we had 1200! March we had under 50! Unbelievable! 2006 goal is by year end is to be getting 4000 a month. Then I take you, a member of the link team on a weekend trip for some fun all expenses on me. Randy W.

Jim, Wanted to share some news and statistics. I know I am the small fish in your SEO world although I do have a success story. I got a call last week, asked where he heard of us, he said internet. I asked where he was from he said Indonesia but the work was in NY. To make a long story short were starting a job for him worth over 50k next week. Now I know what www stands for!!! That 50 brings the total business generated from our site to 130k ytd. Thanks to you and your staffs efforts! Thank You for allowing me to be a customer!
Mark M. (A small, local client)

(Client upon finding he's now #2 for Major phrase) YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Friggin HA! Man NICE NICE NICE NICE WORK. I love kicking the butt of a company with 6 times our sales…and 6 times our resources… Relish in knowing that you delivered the final links that made the difference. Now we set our sights on the prize… #1. Ryan A.

Your business model of "transparency" is nothing short of genius and exactly what we are looking for.
Larry F.

Jim, You rock!, and thank you SO MUCH for your extremely fast response to my question. Please know that Shawn and Jen have been a BLAST to work with, and that everyone here is extremely grateful and values the partnership our companies have formed over the past year or so. If there is anything that I can ever do to return the favor, please do not hesitate to ask. Thomas W.

One client was very happy with his rankings so he sent the entire We Build Pages team to Atlantic City, all expenses paid. Then he said, "I loved hearing that you all enjoyed the trip. It's great giving back the joy that I get from seeing us going up in rank. I am hoping to present more such rewards for the remarkable job you are continuing to do, and for Jim's brilliant leadership." Rafael D.

After Jason wrote this testimonial, he flew to our offices for an 8 hour training session with the We Build Pages Team. A week later we received the following letter:
