A few weeks ago when I spoke at my brother's law firm, I did a Google search in front of them for "Silicon Valley law firm." They weren't anywhere to be found in the first few pages.
I told them to change their title tag to include the words "Silicon Valley Law Firm" in their title tag (that's the HTML tag that gets displayed at the top of the browser).
Then I linked to them with those words in the link. Guess what happened? They are now #1 on Google.
- Y! MyWeb
I don't know who Robert Scoble is, so this is not personal in any way, but somehow I just hate that quote... can't explain why, really... weird...
(I thought the post was about toys/tools)
Scoble is "MicroSoft's geek blogger"
damnit!!
coke right out the nose
careful with getting stuff like that in your nose oilman *lol*
I've been thinking about it. I could see from the post that he was a blogger. I think it's blogger backlash... I think we might just have created a monster by spamming all those blogs... It's gonna be hell when all bloggers suddently optimize their diarys for every term under the sun and start selling text links and stuff...

well it will still be a few years before most of them get past the concepts of transparency and ethics. by then many SEOs will own a flock of blogs :)
Funny that he used Google, not MSN!
Perhaps Scoble is the only blogger to have missed "miserable failure"?

Reminds me of the days when AOL discovered the Internet and droves of clueless AOLers got flak left, right and center on UseNet ...
I know i've said similar stuff before, but im going to say it again anyway....
We optimize in interesting times. Bloggers are quite quickly getting their heads around the concepts of seo, which in essence is taking those concepts mainstream - I want to see how Google handle this kind of thing when it's very, very public, as opposed to very, very contained....
What are they going to do with weblogs inc for example? Now, google have always said dont interlink all your sites right? Hey GOOG, you wanna go ban weblogs inc? hehe... I'll bet you don't right?
Interesting stuff....

As is just about EVERYONE that has more than two brain cells.
A few days ago, I had a Priest(non-tech) ask me if I could SEO his church's web site... When I asked him why he wanted to SEO a non-commercial site he told me "every one is doing it". :-(
Besides SEO, I don't know of any way I can get my advert in front of tens of thousands of people a day for no cost (other than hosting and my own time)??
That's cool, but nobody searches for 'S.V. Law Firm'

"Silicon Valley law firm"
No suggestions for Silicon Valley law firm.
Once you try the forbidden fruit of SEo there is no going back.
