I gave a presentation to a group of about 30 the other day entitled "Top 10 SEO Tips Anyone Can Implement" although perhaps "anyone" is a stretch since there's always somebody who will claim they can't. If you would like to get more info I've posted the SEO presentation at WeLoveBlue.com, MWI's official blog.

Here is an example of a marketing email we sent out a year ago that has numerous issues, which is why it failed. It would probably do even worse today. Take a look and feel free to post comments about why it sucks.

As I learn more about what other SEO firms and SEO professionals are doing for their clients I am very often shocked at the techniques they are using. People still stuff the keyword meta tag, place big blocks of text off the side of a page, and point two or more domains at the same site. More often they do very little or nothing and try to hide the fact from the client, and in some cases the client is lucky if this is what's happening because an active SEO professional using outdated techniques might be worse than no SEO at all.

"I’m kind of suprised at how many people are still stuck in some SEO technique timewarp of what was effective in 1999." That from Jim Boykin's SEO blog, and amen to it. What Jim's talking about is Google's PageRank, which a Google rep labled as being "for entertainment purposes only." Like Jim, I have seen more than my fair share of "SEO professionals" who talk about PageRank, algorithms, and, heaven help us, meta tags as though these things were the essence of SEO rather than fading whisps of what SEO was in 1999.

Being in the SEO business we have had so many potential clients come to us with horror stories of their relationships with a previous SEO firm; in every case we have had to prove that we are ethical, honest, and worth it. What are your stories?

Lee Odden over at Top Rank Marketing has put together a list of more than 250 SEO related blogs, and he was kind enough to include TheOrganicSEO.com. I guess that means we'll be adding him to our SEO directory :) Oh wait, we already had. Man, I am so on top of things.
