Green Elephant Toenail Soup

Can I optimise my website for 'GREEN ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP"?
Of course - but why would you want to? To prove it can be done of course!

You know, I get asked some really silly questions, and I am just being silly too.
But if you will permit me, I will explain why I made this page, and why I wanted GREEN ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP to rank at the top of Google.

As an SEO (search engine optimisation) specialist I am often criticized by my online SEO colleagues. People who I have never met write articles about me or my website simply because I am ranked so highly in Google for the term SEO or Search Engine Optimisation, and they don't have a clue how I do it!  They call my techniques unorthodox, unusual, weird and even downright liberty taking.
The fact is, they spend hours in forums and blogs talking about other SEO companies and not working much, whereas I get dozens of SEO enquiries every day, and only accept 1 a week (on a good week). Ask any of my clients how difficult is was to get my attention....
The reason I decline so many offers of work are many i.e. lifestyle, holidays, personal preference, semi-retired and of course.... I have to believe my SEO will really can make a difference.
So when I am asked to SEO a holiday website, sex toys, lingerie, mobile phones etc, etc. I am simply not interested because no matter what I do, I don't see it will make 'significant' improvements to justify my fees.

So why am I writing this page GREEN ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP
The answer is - for a bet!
I turned down a client today (5th July) and told her that her website was too competitive and she had a better chance of winning the lottery. I also told her that I would personally feel very bad if the SEO did not make a significant improvement to her Google listings.

You know what she said? She offered to triple my fees and give me her services free, if I took her as a client. She then said she had already got a #1 listing in Google for her first name (very unusual name).
That's when I replied to her that within a short period of time I could get
GREEN ELEPHANT TOENAIL SOUP at #1 in Google. But it wouldn't do me any good.
So, if you have a a unique selling point, then maybe we can work together and make a difference.
See you at the top.
Anyone for soup?
