Hey Barry,
Thanks for sharing your insights and experience. I’m fairly new to marketing, and I’m just getting introduced to SEO. There seem to be many differing opinions as to what methods work best, but all agree that when you get it right, it works. That’s good enough to get me started!
Thanks again.

Excellent post, it’s almost enough to be a small ebook in itself! I think people believe SEO is a lot harder than it is, and therefor are too afraid to even try it. If they just spent a little time researching, they’d realize there isn’t all that much to it. You laid out all the basic concepts in one blog post, it’s not exactly a full college course.

Anyways, nice work!

I also wish for more sane post about SEO. And yes, the SEO community seems to play their cards close to their chests which adds to this Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt the post brings up.

SEO, becoming part of a well rounded marketing campaign is what I offer clients. One thing to remember when it comes to providing a visible website for a client is that Google is trying it’s best not to fail. Organically finding what you are looking for is their goal. If an SEO sends people to your site that don’t want to go there, it’s a fail.

As ever Barry a thought provoking post, i just wanted to highlight again this part;

“SEO is only part of the toolkit that must be kept in the marketing box. There are many other aspects to developing websites that perform and achieve a company’s goals”

Over the years i have found that proficiency in SEO was and still is a must. There has been a steady rise in concentration on conversion optimisation and this is great to see, after all it is about yours or your clients bottom line.

SEO is still the same it is the channels visitors are using to tune in that are different.

I wish more people would talk about SEO in a sane way and describe it in human terms. So many people make it seem like the big bad wolf, or pretend to know what they are doing because they heard a few tips and now they are experts. Unfortunately the SEO community doesn’t seem to be as open about sharing as the social media, and for good reason it is their livelihood. Great posts, keep sharing.

A good seo has to have a grasp on marketing and comprehend his client’s business. Dealing with the suspicions created in business can be a real pain. Half or more of the website owners who got bad seo services got them because they bought the cheap lies of cheap seo because they were too cheap to pay even reasonable fees. I have no pity on them.
