Web marketing is a blast, and vital across markets. We haven’t run into a business that couldn’t benefit from strong search engine marketing (SEM) – pay per click and search engine optimization – e-mail marketing, and social media. A fun part of this that still seems to leave some marketers dizzy is SEO.
Background – In the matter of 1 week, we ran into two unrelated instances where supposed “SEO Experts” tried to drive fear into one small/mid-sized business and one arm of a huge multinational. One was an outright scam artist, and the other was a reputable digital media shop making gross exaggerations in hopes of stealing a traditional print (obviously not us) shop’s client.
Both situations were resolved without incident, thank goodness. But, it did shine a light that across there board there can still be some confusion regarding SEO.
