SEM, SEO and Internet Marketing Expert
I was reading an email from an associate and the weirdest thing happened to him. Apparently a call from one of his clients prompted him to the status of this twitter account, in which the client said "your twitter account is suspended!". Upon visiting his profile, the truth laid bare, in fact the twitter account was indeed suspended. My associate figured that this was some sort of rogue policing from the twitter.com staff, until he came across this page: http://bit.ly/3nSj5, indicating that It was in fact human error! As of earlier this morning, his account and everyone else' were restored - but not without both a lesson and bit of fright to be had. Lesson:
Every week I wonder about meetings in corporate environments. I mean, face time is always a good idea, however often times meeting time is abused with unfocused direction - leading to misspent time and ultimately money. It also is important to note that having too many "bodies" in a meeting can also degrade the performance and end results for which efficient actions can be taken.
No matter how well versed you are in SEO or not, checklists can help you or your clients to better hone their optimization work by checking simple or complex issues with a methodical approach.It may also occur that you are asked to do a "quick" audit of a site either for prospecting or as a favor, and a simple yet comprehensive checklist can certainly improve your speed to get the pertinent information to assess SEO status.
Say you've got a competitor or perhaps competitors that are starting to trump you on the first page where you've been vehemently optimizing your website(s) and building valuable links, and without a seemingly good reason. What is an SEO to do but to start digging? Well, a good SEO digs the basics and an excellent SEO goes much further to understand the demographic, suspected patterns and technical advantages the competitor(s) has/have. With all of that info available, where does one start?
