About SEO Shortcuts, SEO Tools, and Productive SEO Campaign Development
Earlier this week, Seth Godin wrote a catchy blog post about how to make money online. While there were several worthy points to remember, one that stuck out to me was, “Hang out with people who aren’t looking for shortcuts. Learn from them.“.
SEO is filled with the notion that there are shortcuts. When I first started SEO consulting it felt like the reason a large percentage of companies were interested in SEO was because they believed it was a shortcut to online marketing success (it was free, right?). They forgot the time element that factored into the cost of “good SEO”.
Examples of SEO shortcuts:
The Truth About SEO Pixie Dust
Sometimes companies come to SEO consultants with significant problems in the ability of their websites to be found in search engines. These problems may stem from website architectural issues, lack of keyword strategy (and the application of that strategy), or marketing strategy that does not take into account (or even prohibits) the ability to acquire inbound links.
Note that these are high level examples of problems for which any marketer spending a few hours researching SEO will realize.
On occasion, SEO consultants find something unique, something different, that no one else on the marketing team realized. This is rare. There is no SEO pixie dust or black magic coded in a dark basement.

From link building techniques to preventing link spam to the pros and cons of competitive link analysis, SEO professionals have a lot to say about link building.

Rumors of Cape Cod SEO’s Demise are Greatly Exaggerated
There has not been a post here since February. Kudos if my blog is still in your RSS reader. I owe you better and it is not because I have given up blogging (here and in general). 2010 has been incredibly busy and the writing I have done has taken me to other locations.
Change is in the wind. This post serves simply as a way to let the few still on-board there are pretty big things on the horizon. I am looking forward to sharing them when the time is right, and that will be very soon. More to come…
Google Buzz: Positives, Negatives, and the Unknown
If you are an Internet marketer, you’ve no doubt been inundated with Google Buzz over the past few days. As I’ve read through articles and blog posts about Buzz, there’s certainly mixed emotions.
From my perspective, I see opportunity, but it might not be the same opportunity services like Facebook and Twitter (the apparent direct competition) bring to mind.
After a week of experimenting, here are some of my thoughts on the positives, negatives, and unknowns that could make or break Google Buzz as an serious player in the social networking space.
