Comments on: Clearing up SEO Misconceptions http://thesemblog.com/2009/10/clearing-up-seo-mis-conceptions/ Search Engine Marketing for Online Lead Generation and Conversion by Schipul the Web Marketing Company Thu, 17 May 2012 21:46:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Colin Hall http://thesemblog.com/2009/10/clearing-up-seo-mis-conceptions/comment-page-1/#comment-3383 Colin Hall Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:08:52 +0000 http://thesemblog.com/?p=135#comment-3383 Great article with some very valid points that anyone who is considering enlisting the help of an SEO service should reflect on before acting. I would say that you should, if possible, get a word of mouth referal. If this is not available ask for references (over 2 years old) that can be followed up and investigated. You should then check the references for their current PR and positions for their meta keywords. There are definately some honest SEO’s out there, but they are not usually the cheapest or the ones that call you up.

Today, 1 of 10 "webmasters" calls themself a SEO. Being in this business almost 8 years, I have survived everything. From Google samdbox, algorythm changes to this kind of speculation. One thing is certain; if you do a good and honest job, you will survive. Well, in last 2 years SEO business “exploed”.

I agree that SEO is just like any other business where people can be ugly. And yes, the grilled cheeses are phenomenal. Thanks Mary.

Every profession has its share of lazy, unethical people/businesses. Bottom line, if you plan to hire professionals to do the work you can't/don't want to do yourself, do some homework. Know who you are hiring. I hear the grilled cheese sandwiches @ Steak & Shake are wonderful! Good points. Every profession has its share of lazy, unethical people/businesses.
