Modern Business and Content Guidance from Bell Labs

Business Practices

I've been reading The Idea Factory, the history of the innovation that came out of Bell Labs around WWII. Innovation, invention and ideas are things that we don't get to talk much about in SEO. It's all about keywords, links, and content, but I want you to take some time today to think about ideas, inventions and innovations. Why? Because we all want to be millionaires (oh hush, yes you do), and while that might not happen to all of us, idea generation is central to our jobs in search marketing.

The Business of SEO: Perception vs. Reality

Business Practices

As SEOs we often live in a bubble, sometimes it's a social media bubble where we only tweet amongst our peers, sometimes it's a literal bubble that we don't explore outside our comfort zone, but that bubble can easily keep us from seeing things that to consultants in other fields is painfully obvious. At the end of the day, an SEO consultant isn't any more special than a CPA or a Financial Planner, we're all consultants and ultimately our job is to give our clients what they want.

7 Lessons Learned Running an SEO Agency

Business Practices

My first real company was an SEO agency. I was only 17 years old when I started it and I had no clue what I was doing. The only thing I knew was there was a business to be made from SEO because companies spent millions of dollars on pay-per-click advertising. I was fortunate enough to get my agency $10,000 to $20,000 a month in revenue within a year, but scaling the company to millions of dollars a year was a much harder challenge.

Just before the start of 2011 I published a post on my personal blog titled - "Why Knowing Everything About SEO Doesn't Mean $#!^". I genuinely didn't expect the type of response the post got, I thought it may annoy a bunch of people, in particular SEO Consultants! However the reaction has been great and as a result, I wanted to write a follow on for you guys which contain...

10 Ways to Get More SEO Clients

Business Practices

I've been traveling for the past few weeks and talking to dozens of SEO consultants, and you know what they are all saying? They are at their max for clients. Yup, that's right...they can't take on new clients. They have TOO much work! This is good for all sorts of reasons. One, it shows we are in a good place during an economically difficult time, and two, there are people out there desperately seeking out your services, with nowhere to turn.

Conversion Rate Lessons for Newspaper Paywalls

Business Practices

Paywalls are a hot topic online at the moment. In the UK The Times has recently put their whole site behind a pay wall and in early 2011 the New York Times is set to also go behind a pay wall. Both of these sites are part of the News Corporation empire and join sites such as the Wall Street Journal which has been behind a paywall for some time already. For those who aren't familiar with how pay...
