You can’t hire top SEOs

January 27, 2008

So in my head I’m thinking to myself, sure if you’re a top (I really doing mean top, not just quite good) SEO why on earth would you sell your services to others?
Say, for example, your ranking a few websites top 10 for ‘car insurance’ or ‘credit card’ or any other lucrative term. Why [...]

Can social media marketing be performed in-house?

January 22, 2008

I assume most people are aware of the fact that many companies perform their SEO in-house with their own search engine marketeers.
