How did this happen? (The power of SEO?) - TKZ227 - 11.05.2013

I searched "freelance web designer" into ****** to take a look at a few websites. Keep in mind, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada so my search results may be different than yours.

I clicked the first link titled "Lori Frame" and expected to see an innovative, effectively designed website as the head of the SEO race in the area. Apparently I was shockingly wrong in thinking so.

Here is an image of my search results:



Now please take a look for yourself at www.loriframe.com. After you have browsed the site for yourself, please answer my question below.

How does a site with a sloppy layout, tacky typography, depressing color scheme, and a source code that looks like it was written in 1995 end up as my first choice for web design on ******? What does this say about SEO standards?

(I cringed a little when checking out the "websites" page.)

Strange ..

I searched it too, and my first result was a very boring website. (Wasn't even "stylish". Just plain)

This is the website for me: (United Kingdom, North Wales): http://www.openweblab.com/

Everyone gets different search results.

Also, as long as someone uses SEO (and also uses proper tags for searching), they can get views very easily.

That sourcecode >_>

I first saw the metacode and though ok cool.
Then I saw the rest.

Seriously styling in the HTML document as a webdesigner?
No remote CSS?

Wow, the design on that first page looks like shit, looks like a webpage that was created in 1997.

This is what New Zealand gets:

It's not that bad I guess, but I like the orange bubbles.
And, the one you got wasn't that bad, it's pretty 1995 but it looks kinda cool.

Yours isn't too bad, but it need something c;
Waaaf.
