“…..with search, people are not being

interrupted with junk (stuff they are not

interested in right now). Instead, they

search when they are interested.”

“The result of Google and the

prevalence of search means that people

are far more forgiving of things that need

to be sought out, and less patient than

ever with selfish marketers that insist on

showing up in your face.”

Seth’s Take on Search

“People don't go to Web sites anymore. Web sites come to them. This is, perhaps, the best way to explain the impact of search on the online experience.”

“By far the most important piece of writing you’ll do on any given

page is your page title. Search engines consider your page title

to be very indicative of what can be found on the page.

SEO Expert: Steven Bradley

engine understand what your site is about and, ideally, about

– whether they're chief executives or heads of state –

the new credible source of information. We have data

that shows an employee blog is five times more

credible than a CEO blog – and I say this as a CEO

blogger."
