I love working with affiliate programs. This post really hit the mark about seo…a subject I’m not that familiar with. Maybe it will help me with my affiliate marketing efforts.

I have taken on a number of client accounts where they have “had a go” at SEO and have made a complete mess of the process. A little knowledge is dangerous and damaging. SEO is a full-time job in itself as you know. My advise is that if a company cannot assign an employee on a full-time bases who processes both on and off page optimisation skills, then they should spend the money and outsource the work to proven professionals in this industry field.

Have a great week,

Well, yes, I guess to do a site audit i.e. make sure that the web designers are doing their job, business owners might need to learn to identify the HTML elements (like the structure and tags), and where the SEO elements ought to be.

Excellent points. If you don’t know the basics of HTML, then I agree, find someone who does to do the SEO aspect of web design. However, for the small business owner it might behoove them to learn not only HTML, but also basic SEO in the long run.

As a business owner, I totally and absolutely agree that you’re far better off out-sourcing the techie part of SEO. I’d rather spend the time focussing on managing and growing the business.
