Re: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore SEO

This is valuable info, though I think the number one ranking has been taking a hit from the public user and with Google always messing things up for us SEO's it's getting harder to maintain rankings. This is good info, but bad in the hands of a client, I could see them saying, "why should I pay you, I lost thousands because your ranking me lower than this place?"

I've worked on search engine optimization for over 10 years for my real estate website in Indianapolis, Indiana. If I didn't pay attention to what helped the search engines know about the content on my site, I would get 7,000 visitors per day and 30,000 page views.

Matt Cutts knows that SEO isn't spam. It's the Search Engine Marketing that creates a lot of leeway for spammers.

If you come across well in your blogging and you also make sure the grammar and spelling is perfected, this will do the world of good for you. Also, try and make sure you aren't repeating what has already been said before in the past!

Yes, Networking is about communication. I agree with you that is all about what you can offer them and not what they can give you back.

Seth,
Your points are well taken, especially about balancing social networking with in-person networking. No matter where you network -- be it online or off -- your goal is NOT to sell but to engage and connect with people. Networking and selling are two different and mutually exclusive activities and so many people think they are the same. Business networking requires that you not only meet others, but engage them and build and enhance your relationships with them. It’s not a one-shot deal; it’s a long-term, lifetime process. The selling will happen after the relationship is built.

My take on going to many different networking events: Do not become “The Wanderer”. They attend a lot of networking events, business expos, trade shows, and networking groups and in many respects because they are not focused on networking at all.

In my book, The World’s Worst Networker: Lessons Learned By The Best From The Absolute Worst, I profile The Wanderer as one of The World’s Worst Networkers because they are focused on one thing: just making the sale and making it fast. They approach their victim at these events with a very strong sense of urgency to the point where the victim feels pressured. Sometimes they will say that their products won’t be available very long; other times they will outright tell them that they are just “passing through” and this is a “once in a lifetime opportunity.” (I have had this experience so many times I've lost count). Remember my point: Networking and selling are two mutually exclusive processes and Wanderers don’t (or don’t want to) understand this.

Yea it takes some effort but well worth it in the end when the return comes.

When done correctly, Social Media can be seamlessly implemented into any organization where a phone and PC reside - and without the risk of enabling external parties to bypass firewalls to inject malware (or the like).

It really depends. If your site is already ranking well then tweaking can be harder and might hurt your overall ranking until Google reindexes.

Re: Why You Shouldn’t Ignore SEO

Nick — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 08:19:38 -0000

This is the way everybody should think about SEO. But I think the relationship between website creation and getting the best ranking out of a website is something a bit treacherous. Although great content will get you in good position, tweaking a website is still possible to some extent with great results. And maybe that’s the real problem.
Should we not tweak at all ?

Re: Retort to Leo Laporte on SEO and it's value

SEOP.com — Wed, 26 May 2010 04:25:56 -0000

I agree! He may not need SEO on his websites/blogs because he's already know by many people. Whatever he puts up in the Web, there is surely many people who will read/view/visit it. But for people like us who are not really "celebrities", we definitely need to work hard to put our contents into the Web and have people notice it.
