Having worked exclusively with small businesses for the first nine years of my online marketing career, and with several small business owners in my family, I have a lot of appreciation for the hard work it takes to succeed. The fact that I’ve worked mostly with larger corporations over the past 18 months has only opened my eyes wider to what makes small businesses special.

After a previous life working in VC and then at eBay UK, I now run a business in the UK that’s highly linked to Valentine’s - an online florist (http://www.ArenaFlowers.com). I can tell you that our senior team spends a lot of time thinking about SEO and how to do it better as we think it’s key to our future. Whilst we do it inhouse, much of what you say above is correct...basically, we can do what want, when we want and we appreciate the potential value of doing it right....so if anyone has a good idea, then we’re happy to try it out...eg our app for sending flowers on facebook that we set up last summer (http://apps.facebook.com/arenaflowers/) gets us a lot of free, brand building traffic (albeit at low conversion) or a new feature - sending a video to go with your flowers (a good differentiating feature and potential link bait for our blog: http://www.arenaflowers.com/blog/2008/02/08/video-valentine-ethical-flowers).The other thing to say, given past experience of working for giant corporates...small business is just a lot more fun!
