Is SEO Dead? Some people (bloggers, and so-called "experts") in SEO, would have you think that. At least that's the message that seems to be permeating the Internet lately.
Anyone who follows me on this blog will know, I don't post things here very often. I'm either too busy working on other things for our clients, or I'm posting things on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Google +.

In this case, it's a combination of all three!
The world of search engine optimization (SEO) is in an uproar these days. If you have any kind of Internet-based business, or a business that largely depends on Internet leads, you need to know what's going on – and how you can take advantage of it.
Let's face it: pay-per-click can be very expensive, especially if you're wanting to drive thousands of visitors to your site. There are few keywords that I've targeted with AdWords that cost less than 50 cents to a dollar per click that generate any real traffic. If the return on investment is there it may not be a problem, but what if you don't have thousands of dollars to float your costs while you wait for your paid ads to turn into closings?
