		<description><![CDATA[ by Mike Moran Image via Wikipedia Up until now, the appearance of your Web pages had nothing to do with your success in organic search, but that time might be coming to and end. Lots of stuff matters, of course, ranging from page titles to inbound links to dozens of other factors in each search engine's ranking algorithm.

		<description><![CDATA[ by Mike Moran I gave the keynote talk at the SMX Conference in Stockholm today ( slides here ), and what I had to say doesn't jive with what many smart SEO people advise. Basically, I told people that all of the tricks and optimizations and clever tactics are a waste of time for the average marketer. Despite the millions of pixels that have been used to explain all of these clever techniques for worming your way to the top of the search rankings, I think that most search marketers would do better to steer clear of them, because they work for only a short period of time. Image via Wikipedia These kinds of techniques go by many names, such as black hat SEO, spamdexing, or simple spamming. And many techniques that clever people use aren't expressly against the search engines' terms of service, anyway. So, it's not a question of morality here.

		<description><![CDATA[ by Mike Moran Image by Danard Vincente via Flickr The very name "Search Engine Optimization" would seem to answer the question of who marketers are optimizing their site for. All the great advice you get about getting your pages indexed and finding which keywords are used in the search engines and optimizing your content to be found by the search engines--it's all search engines all the time. Or is it? At some point, you need to ask yourself why you are doing all of this. Don't get me wrong. I agree with all the advice about how to make your site appeal to search engines--I have written about it for years in blogs and books and magazine articles and anywhere else someone will read what I have to say

		<description><![CDATA[ by Mack Collier It's enough to make the average business owner break out in a cold sweat; the thought of bloggers ripping them.&#160; But while many businesses and companies are fearful of posts that shine a negative light on their business, these instances are in fact a wonderful opportunity. Here's what often happens with the clients I work with.&#160; A blogger will write a post challenging them, or outright attacking them.&#160; The post is usually based on either a specific interaction the blogger has had with the business, or it's based on something that they have heard that the business has done, or will be doing. In either case, the blogger has just done something that should excite every business.&#160; The blogger has given the business an open invitation to reply to them, AND to address his/her readers.&#160; Step back for a second and think about what would happen if you went to a blog and left a comment explaining what your business is, and how it functions.&#160; You'd be slammed unmercifully for self-promotion, and 'spamming' the blog.&#160; Your online reputation would suffer.&#160; As it should, because you would be entering into a conversation that had nothing to do with you, and would be promoting yourself.&#160; VERY bad move. But what if a blogger wrote a post slamming your business?&#160; Or the new promotion that you are running?&#160; Then it would be perfectly acceptable for you to reply with a comment explaining who you are, and why your promotion is structured the way it is.&#160; Not only would the negative post give you the open invitation to explain yourself and your promotion to that blog's readers, but the blogger and his/her readers would be THANKFUL for you responding to them!&#160; Not a bad deal, eh?
