No first hand experience, but the internet is littered with horror stories, scams and get rich quick schemes, with the usual fake screen shot of amazing paypal payments

Most of them claim to make you
“Google is definitely the top dog, so to speak, but that does not mean everybody on the face of the earth uses it...”

Nope, but the reality is, (search engine wise) it is more cost effective and productive to optimise for Google, as this will include 99% of the others.

I think it will get more interesting as social search signals start to pick up, and we then have to optimise for the like of facebook, although if you start using the right markup language now, then you already are

“Gah, my eyes! To add insult to injury, the question doesn't even make sense.

I'm confused though, there doesn't seem to be any backlink benefit in the posts I clicked on? I can only guess the threads are intended as primers for later spammers who come along and post links.”

Just old fashioned post counting. Most moderated forums have to make people do x many posts to try and weed out the spammers, so they then try and do quick copy and paste posting.

Just part of the overhead of managing a forum, and having some great moderators

“a good balance between SEM, SEO, and SMM is the way to go.”

Couldn't agree more
What would entice you to buy 24th May 2011 2:40 PM
First thing is demand. The old cliche of supply and demand still holds true, even in this age of t'internet. Type in web designer and you can choose from tens of thousands.

You get the ones that make serious money and rarely have to advertise, as clients arrive via word of mouth and recommendation, marketing gold dust. You then get the other end of the scale which is back bedroom hobbyists, and this is what the internet is awash with.

Once you have established there is a demand, then its down to confidence. If you're primary means of marketing is online, then make the most of the 3 seconds you've got when someone arrives on your site. That's all it takes for Joe public to make their mind up.

So ask yourself the same question. Look at your competitors which you know are doing well and work out why punters would go there instead. Do their sites pump out confidence? Using the web designer example, do they showcase examples of their work, can a non technical person clearly see any potential value?

Remember websites are simply shop windows, so if you do grab their attention, follow it up quickly with superb content and make them want to get in touch. Give them stuff, get them engaged in your site. I disagree with Kip slightly, as I reckon you can hook people, as well as give enough info to make an informed choice, but completely agree about decent copy. If you're crap at it, pay someone!

“What do you think is the best way to get backlinks?”

Easy, decent content
“I wonder what they are going to do with the brand once the sale is completed. Do you think they will still sell Jimmy Choo's?”

Can't see Jimmy Choos going anywhere, that's what they've bought, the name.

Mind you, thought it was Chinese takeaway chain till I got married
