]]> Comment on How hard is it for a small company to change webmasters, and what should I know about the process? by imisidro http://webmasters-reference.com/questions-answered/how-hard-is-it-for-a-small-company-to-change-webmasters-and-what-should-i-know-about-the-process#comment-41 imisidro Fri, 18 May 2012 18:24:23 +0000 http://webmasters-reference.com/questions-answered/how-hard-is-it-for-a-small-company-to-change-webmasters-and-what-should-i-know-about-the-process#comment-41 It takes time to rank well on the Web especially for competitive keywords. You did not indicate how long your site has been up and running But if you go to Google and even doing site:www.yourwebsiteURL.com command does not show up anything for your site, then something is really really wrong and I would change your webmaster as soon as possible. If you are not satisfied with the person, then it may be best to find a replacement. However, bear in mind the following: - the webmaster must give you all the files of your site (it's not uncommon to hear of disgruntled/fired out webmasters holding out some files of the site) - the webmaster must turn over the passwords to you for the site web hosting, FTP or anything else involved with the site. Once you fire the person, change all the passwords at once. - when you look for a new one, check out if the person has any SEO knowledge.

The other way is to use the TOOLS that Yahoo gives to site developers to 'pick the brains' of Yahoo Answers. You can read about THAT here: http://developers.yahoo.com/answers Technically, in EITHER case, credit is supposed to be given to Yahoo Answers -- but of course, that is not always the case, is it?
