Being I am not so SEO savvy, im looking into paying to be one of the top three on the first page when a search is done for certain areas. Has anybody had any luck with this in the past?
I think this question would be better served as a test (someone who just browses the web). I didn't think about the different thoughts of people until a had a lady work for me and asked her to look up something. All of my browsers are set to google, she goes to google searches for yellow pages then searches on the yellow pages for what I asked. I was amazed.Definitely go with organic search, people usually don't pay attention to the paid listings and trust the organic search more. If you need help with getting to number one on Google feel free to contact me. I'm currently helping several guys here on the forum with their online marketing.
I would love to hear from anybody that has used this method in the Pressure Washing industry, long term with success. Not to say that it doesn't, I just feel customers trust organic more in a service industry and to use this method, long term would be a skill.
David, I will be calling you in a few days. ThanksDefinitely go with organic search, people usually don't pay attention to the paid listings and trust the organic search more.

Mike, can you please elaborate on what long tailed keywords are?
Great. i look forward to helping you, James.David, I will be calling you in a few days. Thanks
Chad, I was wondering the same thing so I did a quick search and found this:
"Long tail keywords are the opposite of "head" terms, which are more popular or more frequently searched on. For example, "fish tanks" is a head term, but "compare prices whisper aquarium filters" is a long-tail keyword.
Beginner search marketers often focus on head terms when optimizing their sites for organic search or creating pay-per-click campaigns. This is a mistake—long-tail keywords can offer incredible ROI because they're less competitive to rank for organically and less expensive to bid on for PPC. In addition, people using long-tail search queries are often highly qualified and more likely to convert."

We know the top post on google are ADS. But do the majority?

The keywords on your site are fine. I would expand it, however, to include other commonly searched keyword phrases like "pressure washing services in knoxville" "siding pressure washing in knoxville" and "house washing knoxville". if you need any more help and want to accelerate your site's rise to the top of Google, please feel free to call me or send me a PM!Thanks Ted and Dave.
This is interesting and was always something I wondered about.
In other words, should I change the keywords in my HTML settings?

Squashing the competition is completely doable and affordable! Just sent you a PM!Let's make this simple Dave. How much are we talking for me to squash those guys?
I think most people are aware of that now, especially with the clearly separate colors and "Ads related to" header. In my experience, most people go to one of the first 3 organic links, with link #1 getting over twice as many clicks as #2 and #3.
People considering doing PPC need to consider the cost of doing so. All those clicks can quickly add up, and in a lot of cases could well surpass what you'd pay monthly for SEO to be in the top on Google.
