Hey, Where’s SEO?

Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

Here’s an interest post on Marketing Pilgrim about things you should learn if you are going to be an Internet marketer. And I agree with them. But where’s the SEO?

Let’s run down the list:

• Fake it like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally
• Be persistent and focus, focus, focus
• Get hyped up and know that people LIE! – a lot
• Never stop learning
• Build the brand, not the traffic, links, etc.
• Choose e-commerce
• Find and exploit niches yourself
• Learn the basics
• Crowdsource (outsource) as much as you can
• Learn to program or find a programmer who can do what you need
• Brainstorm before you do anything
• Utilize all the channels that make sense for you
• Repurposing isn’t always necessary
• Build true virility when link building
• Go underground when you can

So where’s the SEO part? Buried in the ‘learn the basics’ line.

While this list is written for Internet marketing entrepreneurs, it’s a good list for small business owners who want to build an online presence to understand as well. Maybe you don’t need to follow every bit of advice word for word. But understanding how Internet marketers operate successfully online can help you better choose the strategies and tactics that you use in your business. And, yes, search engine optimization is a part of that. Just get back to the basics.
