In Part One of Finding The Right Search Engine Marketing Company, I shared my thoughts on questions you should ask SEM companies about their company. Now let's look at some good questions to ask the SEM company about their service offerings ..... http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2008/02/finding_the_rig_1.html http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2008/02/finding_the_rig_1.html SEO Companies Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:47:33 -0500 Doug Ausbury We find that most potential clients ask more questions about our services than about us and I think that’s a mistake. With all the companies now offering SEM services, the ‘who’ is just as important as the ‘how’. Here are the questions to be sure to ask about the SEM company. http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2008/01/questions_to_as.html http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2008/01/questions_to_as.html SEO Companies Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:35:29 -0500 John Lustina Sometimes it's hard for us to imagine that there is a finite set of clicks on any given day.

Yet in spite of immediate pick-ups of everything Matt posts and that fact that this is a day later, Good God, I want to highlight his explanation of why, if only to be able to link to this portion of it when I am asked why and do a poor job explaining why. It's the best and simplest it's ever been put. http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2007/03/did_you_know_ww.html http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2007/03/did_you_know_ww.html Crawling and Indexing Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:03:24 -0500 John Lustina It's one of the most mythical numbers in all of SEM, rarely published, seldom spoken; yet most industry insiders nod and agree, even if furtively, that the organic search share of total search clicks, meaning the percentage of overall searchers clicking on an organic, rather than paid, search result, is somewhere in the 70% - 85% region. http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2007/03/the_ineluctable_1.html http://seoblog.intrapromote.com/2007/03/the_ineluctable_1.html SEO Industry News Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:18:20 -0500 Erik Dafforn I really screwed up in a call with a potential client, and we lost the sale.
