Why SEO Is Not A Band Aid
Writing by Nick Stamoulis on Monday, 23 of March , 2009 at 8:58 am
Many firms who aren’t used to doing business online discover suddenly that they need help. They turn to the cheapest search engine optimization firm or service they can find in hopes that the professional can boost their rankings, get the pranksters and bad guys to quit saying bad things about them in the forums, and hopefully save their online reputations. It rarely works.
The reason this doesn’t work too well is because good white hat optimization isn’t a band aid. It’s preventive medicine. And if you eat it right in the proper doses you’ll never have to worry about your reputation – well, not too much any way.
Search Engine reputation management has become a big deal these days. In essence, it’s nothing more than building a brand online within the engines used for the purpose of managing a person’s or brand’s public perception. But you should be doing that any way. And if you do it all the time then when you really need it it won’t be so much of a chore. Your natural immune system will kick in and ward off the evil viruses before they do too much damage. Are you using SEO as a band aid?
