Great SEO is the result of continuous, consistent, quality work.”

I’m with ya! This does take work – and it takes time to learn the strategies to implement in the first place. I have read and learned as much as possible. I have learned a lot in the last 2 days, I’m getting excited to put it to use! 🙂
Thanks for the info!

This is a really simple point but most people don’t understand and end up paying to cow boys.

Anyone interested in SEO should understand the process and pay for the things SEO company will do, not for the rankings.

Number 2 in particular strikes a chord with me. Few people would call up a lawyer and expect 30 minutes of free tailored advice, but for some reason some potential clients expect it from an SEO company.

The SEO industry has a bad reputation in some quarters and I know many local business owners who’ve been talked into expensive and ultimately useless SEO campaigns.
