I built my business around the idea of building trust by improving face-to-face communication. I've always warned people to be wary of mass impersonal communication and to remember the importance of word-of-mouth created by relationship building. Social media IS two-way communication, so I find it an exciting new way to build relationships. My addition to your thoughts is that we should use social media for communication, not selling.

Hi Website Marketing Company,
Thanks for stopping by and your comment so very true about the large companies selling their inferior SEO and SEM products. It is a shame that many of them try to scale SEO services in way that it should not be scaled…

Grula: You are so right. I have worked for serveral companies including DEX Media (DEX Yellow Pages, dexknows.com) and Gannett (USATODAY, Carerrbuilder.com, Cars.com etc)to name a few. It does seem like a lot of the top companies are spreading the word about their inferior product and bashing those who send real results in the process (SEO/SEM Companies). Truth is if you find an SEO/SEM expert you will see your investment grow better than any stock portfolio ever could. I agree 110% with you Nick "Search engine optimization is only about 15-20% technical" if you dont know anything about marketing you really shouldnt be involved in the SEO/SEM business. Great article. I look forward to more! Lorraine C. Grula: You are so right.
