While I was scrolling through some of the questions on Quora the other day, one question stood out to me amongst the rest, “What should I look for in an SEO consultant?” Personally, I have several years of experience as an SEO specialist.

Mobile marketing will continue to grow in 2011. The success of Foursquare and use of Facebook Places indicates that mobile marketing and offline marketing will integrate to provide customer reward programs.

It is important to use pay per click long enough to collect information about which techniques are and are not working. In order to understand the different techniques, consider the conversion metrics. There are conversion-tracking tools with Google that calculates traffic and actions on a website.

The title of any work should define it, and the title of any SEO content needs to include the targeted key word or phrase. Search engine spiders start searching at the beginning of the content, and the key words should be the first thing they find. Remember that the title and tags should be similar but not exact duplications of each other.
You may have heard of SearchDex, then again, you may not have. SearchDex is the company that was handling JC Penney’s “Search Engine Optimization” during their latest brush with Google.

This knowledge should spur everyone on to create an effective email-marketing plan that gives customers what they want. If you find this intimidating, hire someone to guide you through the process.
This week we were supposed to start a new part of our blog. It's supposed to be a point-counterpoint piece called, well, we haven't worked that out yet, but, a colleague of mine, Michael Panuthos and I were supposed to write this together.
Both SEO and pay per click advertising (PPC) allows small business owners to retain a competitive online presence. The Internet is continually changing as is the way customers search and shop online. New trends such as mobile search are altering the way people conduct business. Smart phones and mobile Internet access should be addressed as mobile search continues to rise when compared to traditional searches.
