    Today I thought it a good idea to write a post meant to get the brain juices flowing more than a strict SEO technique. Sometimes it’s nice to think aloud without holding back on your ideas just to get to the good little nuggets tucked away in your own brain.

    It seems that almost every conversation I have about SEO with someone new to the idea includes some common questions. With answering these questions, I am then asked the exact same question, every time. “So, what sites do you read?” Well, let me tell you.

    It’s not uncommon for SEOs and bloggers to share their RSS feeds or XML files to their readers. This indeed allows for the reader to make use of the ones they want to read, and use their desired RSS Reader.

    I recently wrote an article for Skellie of Anywired.com on 7 Signs of SEO Scams. It was posted yesterday, and I would like to direct my readers to it. It was a post on SEO offers that should be noted as signs of a scam.

    Shimon Sandler wrote an interesting article on CEO Bloggers and whether or not they should clear their posts throught their legal department that got me thinking about my current situation with company blogs. I love to push the idea of a blog to my clients, but with a strong air of caution. I’m also in a constant uphill battle with an agency I work for to either take their blog seriously, or remove it all together. I thought this would be a great time to go over some of the reasons not to start a blog.

    As part of my initiative to take my freelancing SEO services more seriously, I decided to branch out to communities comprised of more than just other Internet marketers (sorry Sphinn, I still love you though).

    Today, I wanted to do another beginner post, but didn’t want to wait until I reached this portion of the beginner’s SEO book. I want to talk about header tags.

    If you aren’t sure what header tags are, these are tags in HTML used to create…well…headers. They have a range in size, and can be used for header and sub-headers. Header tags are signified by the syntax, ‘x’ being a number from 1 – 6. Example as follows:

    During the whole Shoemoney circus, it became clear to me (with the help of Halfdeck) that we SEOs, especially us bloggers, should concentrate on more important things that feeding into the bait tactics of nay-sayers.

    For eample, we should be looking for ways to come up with better education for up and coming SEOs, new business owners, and hopefully one day some sort of standardization by way of SEO certifications.

    I know the title sounds a little weird, but it rhymes, so it must be true.

  • My Post on AnyWired

    I recently wrote an article for Skellie of Anywired.com on 7 Signs of SEO Scams. It was posted yesterday, and I would like to direct my readers to it. It was a post on SEO offers that should be noted as signs of a scam. It’s on Anywired because the blog caters to the entrepreneur, and these are the people most likely to be offered such fantastic “services.”

    So head on over and check it out. Any spreading of the common signs of an SEO scam will only help educate the small business owner, and better the perception of the SEO community.

    With this, and any other post, please read the disclaimer.

    As SEO Factor is concerned, I haven’t really taken the business aspect seriously. SEO Factor started as just a blog to share a little information to a small group of people. Over the years, business owners would often contact me for services. Though I was all to happy to accommodate, I never sought new business. Over the last few years, I’ve been contacted more and more, and so as increased my desire to take SEO Factor to the next level.

    2008: Year of the LLC

    Posted by admin on Fri, 06/06/2008 – 15:24 in

    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.

    After my hotel reputation management post yesterday, I received a lot of emails about the subject, and how a hotelier goes about finding an Internet marketing firm for their hotel. I couldn’t answer some of those emails too directly, as there would be a conflict of interest, but I thought I would create a decent post to help you out.

    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.

    I saw an interesting story on the news today here in Jacksonville, FL. The story was relating to the website ratemycop.com, and its validity in the eyes of the resedents here in the city.

    With a massive poll of 2 people, WJXT Jacksonville returned the results. Half of the 2 people said they would use the site as a means of both investigating a police officer, and as a way to contribute experiences. The other half of the 2 people stated that they would take any information on the site with a grain of salt.

    Today’s post is from a guest, Brenton Crozier. He is a freelance copywriter with whom I work closely on many projects. I asked him to give me something to help promote his new website, and he was all too happy to oblige. Thanks, Brenton!
