Fistful, I thank you for your genuine concern.
Yes, I still have a job. It wasn't my screw-up, and the "boss" knows that very well. He's also a very good salesman, and was able to patch things over with Beth first thing yesterday morning.
In fact, I got an email from her in which she essentially apologized for any frustration that she and her boss had caused me.
I've learned a couple of things from this: a) Beth is probably too submissive for her own good, and; b) my boss needs me more than I need him.
Point "b" may sound like arrogance, but my boss knows servers and other aspects of internet hosting. He doesn't know anything about SEO. He asked me, as one of his customers, and based upon what I've done with my own sites, to come and help him build an SEO business.
His hosting site is pulling in maybe 1,000 visitors a month. My site is pulling in anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000 per month. He would very much like to have that kind of traffic.
My site is on the first page of the major search engines for just about every term I want, usually in the top five results. In less than sixty days, I got his client's site (Beth and her boss) on the first page of Google for about 60% of the keywords and phrases they wanted.
