Interesting story today ... "Time Warner, the world’s largest pure-play media company, announced plans to become purely about content, announcing formal plans to spin-off the online access business of its AOL unit." http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.san&s=88052&Nid=45763&p=920928I guess they didn’t tell the Propeller unit that "Content" was the new focus; not ads.

This would be a bad idea from many perspectives. However the worst in my optinion would be all the brand new SEOs getting into the session and coming out with brand new game plans. That would be like giving a toddler a machine gun and telling him to "go outside and play".

Extremely happy no one was hurt. Kudo’s to you guys for having a disaster management plan in place and executing on it, so many businesses just talk about doing those and never get around to it.

I don’t know of a Link Building "firm" .. but there are plenty of individuals that only focus on link building. I guess this is what I was referring too. We all know that certain companies are known for certain aspects of the business. Mention Eric Ward and what do you think of, mention Jill Whalen and what do you think of, 10e20 and what do you think of ... How do you define a firm? SEO shops come in all sizes and some of the best ones are only 2 or 3 people deep.

Nice article Eric. I see a trend towards SEO breaking down into niche markets. We already have ones like "link building specialists" and no doubt as the industry grows more and more niche specialties will emerge. SMM will be one and probably should already be. I am going to have to disagree that "SEO firms have zero business providing “social media marketing” as a leg of their business". Like most aspects of this industry, people doing it wrong hurt the industry as a whole. SMM is not any different. Grouping all SEO firms into that statement would be similar to saying that "SEO firms have zero business doing link building" because of some of the idiots out there doing it wrong. I personally believe in the coming years, SMM will be just a vital to SEO as Link Building. Heck, it may even take its place as a primary factor.
