If you’re tight on money will having a predetermined SEO package actually help you? The bad thing about a package deal is, you pick the package. If you knew exactly what you needed wouldn’t you just do it yourself? If you couldn’t do it yourself… what are the chances you’d find a package to meet you’re specific needs?

Part of SEO is to evaluate and benchmark your current efforts and to formulate a course of action. How do you know what you are ordering is even going to help? You place an order for a package to optimize 10 pages but you have 11 or maybe 7! Maybe, you have 10 pages but some of these pages are pages not needing optimization, such as your contact and privacy pages. Continue Reading ->

When you talk about search marketing with “ordinary” people, many of them feel search is for the big players. To small business search is too expensive and unpredictable. I couldn’t disagree more. Local search, especially for local brick and mortar businesses is ideal.

Think about this… You’re a dentist, you’ve relied on word of mouth and the yellow pages to bring in new business. The problem is the yellow pages are becoming extinct, or close to it. Recent data suggests that the yellow pages will be almost obsolete by 2012. So where does that leave the local dentist that has relied on the yellow pages for years? Continue Reading ->

I was speaking to a friend of mine who is an in-house SEO. The company he works for was looking to hire an SEM firm to manage their PPC campaign. He was shocked at the quotes he received and asked me if I’d take a look at them. So being the nice guy that I am, I did.

Now keep in mind these companies reside in upscale buildings in the heart of NYC, so their prices of course will be higher than most. Many of these companies charged about the same amount around 10 – 15%  which didn’t shock me, but what did shock me was the 15% was on the spend. Now you may ask me “What’s the difference?” and I’ll get to that in a minute.

Not every company taxed on an extra $1,000 to the percent, but the percent was in the ballpark. Continue Reading ->
