Everyone knows about the “elevator speech.” It’s what you give when someone asks “what is it you do for a living?” or some other variation of that chit-chat ice-breaker. The idea is to solidify your answer to that question in a nice, pre-packaged (I like hyphens today) response to share your profession in a way that someone could understand exactly what you do within a matter of moments. Hence the name “elevator speech.” It’s most commonly used by an entrepreneur to gain funding by a venture capitalist or as a pitch to a potential client.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that you own a business, or are advertising it all the time; even when you’re not at work. Especially in an industry that requires so much customer oriented attitude, you should be very mindful of the perception you are putting forth.

Google Blogscoped reported today that, according to Google Trends:

“Apparently, people search for the word “Google” on Google more than they do for “music”, “movies”, “flowers”, even “sex”. And it’s happened in the last couple months.”

Hmmm…in the last couple of months.

Text-Links-Ads has a tool in which you can input a URL, and you will be given an approximate worth of a link purchased. For example, you put in http://www.seo-factor.com and it will tell you that placing TLA on my site isn’t worth the amount of time it would take to implement the code. However, there are a few that return funny results, due to the site in question’s status. For example:

With the recent uproar over Google’s request that people report paid text link purchasers, and the penalties that seem to be rolling over a large number of sites that buy and sell links, there’s a bit of fear out there for the site owners that take part in this method. I wanted to give a few tips on purchasing links, and a few things to keep in mind while considering to do so.

Well, it was an interesting week. Seems everyone is at the SMX Advanced this week, so it was a little slow. I thought I would wrap up a few bits of news for a nice Friday informative. I haven’t been blogging a lot lately (seems less and less every week), but that’s just a sign that SEO Factor is doing well. Catch 22 I guess.

First, I should really apologize for not posting in a while. I’ve been super busy lates. I know that’s not an excuse, but it’s the truth. However, there are some great posts and happenings this week that I wanted to link to. I have a couple of posts coming next week, so there will be something good to read.

We’ve all seen the Google log change for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or any other of the many many celebrations. I looked today, specifically, for a Pearl Harbor logo. Hmmm…nothing there. Odd.

I am something of a Pearl Harbor Day appreciator, as it falls on my birthday (I’m a little conceited, so it certainly isn’t vice versa). So I was a little put off when I didn’t see a logo change. I checked around and found one from logoogle.com.

Well crap. I read a post by Aaron Wall of SEO Book on putting your ideas to paper (or whatever the appropriate implementation would be in your case) before someone else does last week and thought to myself, “man, that has happened to me a lot.” And I mean a lot. I just came across an example of someone posting their idea, a while after I had thought about it. But really, it was my fault.

My goodness. You don’t have to look far to find a lot Google bashing in regard to penalizing link sellers. It’s a pretty big topic right now, and you can’t waste countless hours of company-paid time on Sphinn without seeing at least three posts on the subject (umm…I mean after work). A lot of bloggers are pretty upset, and rightfully so, I think. But does the move to penalize bloggers for selling links that pass PageRank make Google evil?

Over this past year, I myself have been the sole SEO in a large company, a freelance SEO, and part of a larger team of SEO’s for another large company. In each of these roles, there are vastly different and different degrees of challenges. Having been, and continuing to fill these roles, I thought it a good idea to answer a client’s question on the best SEO-hiring practices. Do you outsource to a freelancer, hire a firm, or hire in-house? It really all depends on your model and resources. Let’s look at the pro’s and con’s of each.

Google. Better Than Sex

Google Blogscoped reported today that, according to Google Trends:

“Apparently, people search for the word “Google” on Google more than they do for “music”, “movies”, “flowers”, even “sex”. And it’s happened in the last couple months.”

Hmmm…in the last couple of months.

The original link posted showed the measure of the five terms, but it’s a bit easier to just look at Google vs. Sex. If you look at it, you see that these trends are measured over a period of 4 years. I’m a firm believer that the “general” online community is becoming evermore savvy. Kids are growing up, parents are getting more involved, and grandma is learning to email pictures of Fluffy to Rose down the street using Flickr.

I suspect that we will continue to see trends like this.

In a very bad blogging form, I will merge this post with something I saw today, as it almost relates to my opinion.

I saw the USA Today article about Internet Porn in the Workplace. Reading the story, I found that it was the same “Internet is bad” drivel we see in most media aspects. But the first thing I thought when I say the title of the article was “Gee, you know what USA Today should do? They should build a time machine, go back 10 years, and rewrite the story so that it would be just a bit more newsworthy.”

Times are changing. Internet porn stories just aren’t big anymore. It’s all old news. The mysticism of the Internet is gone, and has been replaced with a much wider knowledge and understanding, leaving such vague search terms as “sex” and “music” to be used by the brand-new-to-the-scene, and few more.

The search for Google shows a more competent searching community, likely looking for Google news or updated stock information. Still extremely lacking in detail for a search term, but one of the many steps in the right direction for mass adeptness.
