What I didn't emphasize in the PR and nobody ever asked me afterwards was why I thought SEO was a waste of time and money. I was referring to the free publishing platforms like wordpress which come ready optimised for search engines and can be used by any business. If I'd of covered every angle I would of diluted the debate. Cheers Anthony Hi Lynn,

Particularly when its written by Aaron Wall, an industry leader. The conferences are generally great for that. Particularly PubCon and SES. One tiny tip can mean an increase in revenue to the tune of thousands per month (it did for me!). Speaking of which, I just posted the details on a <a href="http://www.clicknewz.com/507/unbelievable-roundtable-of-seos/">new SEO Class coming up in New York</a>. The panel is a phenomenal group of SEO professionals, the price is about $3k... and its worth every penny (and then some)! There are opportunities like that which can skyrocket your income potential, great guides that are actually accurate and current, and true "SEO's" that are worth every dollar they charge... but there is also A LOT Of misinformation and scamming in the industry. My advice here was to steer clear of that by staying informed and at least knowing what it is that you need in regards to search engine marketing...

I'm not saying that you can't learn it, but I am saying that there's a reason why the Search Engine Strategies conference in NY spans 4 days and attracts a lot of people. Even then it doesn't manage to cover everything. In some cases it is worth $29K (for a reputable SEO firm) especially when the return on that spend is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. I am, of course, biased. I do this stuff for a living :-) Fifty dollars will get you a great introduction, but there’s a lot to learn out there when it comes to SEO.
