As I'm sure you know, results like these can and usually do take much longer. But your point about long term sustainability is very important. SEO is definitely not a "here today, gone tomorrow" value proposition. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/copywriting/features-versus-benefits-sales-skills/" rel="nofollow">The Benefits of Talking about Features</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Danielle, Thanks.

In times such as these, when everyone is harping on about the recession, any type of marketing strategy that is likely to boost profits by encouraging people to take a look at your products and services is well worth while. To increase traffic to a site by 25% is absolutely brilliant!

One reason for that is that they tend not to understand SEO, and when somebody attempts to explain it, their eyes glaze over. For many people in small and midsized firms, design is the fun part of web development, and content gets short shrift. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Brad Shorrs last blog post..<a href="http://www.wordsellinc.com/blog/sales/best-buy-vs-att-a-tale-of-two-customer-experiences/" rel="nofollow">Best Buy vs. AT&T - A Tale of Two Customer Experiences</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Hi Andrew, You’re right – people tend to abandon sound planning principles when they enter the world of web development.

You simply cannot expect to just create and upload any old web site and expect visitors to just start flocking in just like that. After all, in the old world, you would not simply have just created any old advertisement and plonked it anywhere and expected to get results. Instead, marketing in the online world requires a no less deliberate and purposeful approach as it does in the offline world. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Andrews last blog post..<a href="http://www.goodhonestdollar.com/gekko-is-back-but-is-greed-really-good" rel="nofollow">Gekko is back - but is greed really good?</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Brad,

It is amazing to me how quickly Google reacts to appropriate content given how many folks are out trying to game the system. I have noticed my own personal searching behavior seems to be trending towards longer and longer search strings to try and narrow things down more quickly. Are you also taking into account how the various phrases have to work together in the search process or do the search engines naturally take that from context? <abbr><em><abbr><em>Fred H Schlegels last blog post..<a href="http://frogblog.biz/2009/04/30/physics-ideation-series-part4-customer-entanglement/" rel="nofollow">Physics and Ideation: Customer Entanglement</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Nice success story Brad.
