@Christopher Regan: absolutely… well said. More and more SEO has to be done close to the business, and if this keeps up, generic external “SEO Services” will be commoditized out of existence. Just like some were saying 5 years ago.

Yes, Lisa, SEO is not a conjecture game. It’s hard stats from initiatives/tactics followed from *honest* examination of detailed stats (not just Google Analytics, BTW) from which you then take additional steps. Waaaay too many people are SEO/SEM experts — it’s a joke (companies *are* catching on after having been burned so many times).

Lisa I think there should be a balance, getting information and practicing it. Thanks for the article.

I couldn’t agree more. I used to work for an SEO agency who would simply supply the client with an on-page SEO report and leave it to the client to implement. No matter how many times I suggested new techniques, or that we implement the changes our selves, they just didn’t go for it.

I now work for myself, not only suggesting SEO techniques, but implementing and testing them as well. I’m 9000 times more successful by doing so.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE you! I can’t tell you how much I love you! okay… seriously- love your candor, transparentcy, kick you square in the teeth approach! Say it like it is sistah! I needed this tonight… I have vision, plans and possibilities– however, they aren’t great website designers let alone SEO managers! Don’t try to contact me, “I’m taking the week off.” (thanks to you!)

Lovin it!
