This was an excellent post, an unexpected surprise.
Much appreciated, Danny, thanks!
To think, all this time I've known you I had no idea you had all this pent-up pay-per-click envy! If you'd like to take the search 'Ferrari' for a spin, I'll let you change some PPC bids ... maybe even tweak an ad description or two ;) What a power fix!
Seriously, great points throughout!
Good stuff, and too true.
Just yesterday I saw a project posting where the site owner stated he wanted to "be number one for any search in Google, Yahoo, MSN..."
Wouldn't that be a neat trick - being number 1 for ANY search. :)
Really good read thanks.
"Success through education" is spot on if you ask me.
Great work Sandra. Just wish all the clients could see it! :)
great post. i just forwarded it to my boss and sales guy.
You can guarantee a number one ranking for long tail results. For example, by using suggestions from hittail.
Yeah, while I wouldn't make any guarantees with HitTail, it's probably as close as you can get. Thanks for the comment, Justin, and great article, Sandra.
@DLperry - and the funny thing is that project probably got 10 bids with false promises.
Amy K, I´ll take you up on that, it´d be great to play with PPC again.
Kimber, good luck with the evangelizing! Let us know how it turns out.
Justin and Mike, you´ve piqued my interest in HitTail, will check it out.
Love the project posting reference, I wish that client the best, may they get what they asked for...
Thanks all for the interest and great comments!
--Sandra
Great post Sandra, carefully thought out and well put.
Good to hear from you, Daria, thanks!
A great post. That and a conversation with a Google-ranking-fixated prospect resulted in my writing a post, Google Rankings Drive Sales - SEO Expectations, that builds on the same concepts.
Great post. Part II should cover controlling sales staff in an agency environment to not 'add fuel to the fire'! :)
Any posts about managing expectations and improving client to consultant communications attract my attention. This is one of the greatest challenges we have.
Don't envy the PPC folks too much; the time when we could fairly easily control ad placement and results are pretty much in the past.
Barry, I'll look up your post. It's a topic worth much discussion.
Great point about over-eager sales staff, Brian. The question would be whether the over-eagerness is coming from the staff, or communicated by management, though...
Rose, I only envy PPC folks some of the time, truly! Although I still think PPC is perceived as the more glamorous of the two fields. Advertising versus PR.
