Posted: 2010/09/23 in Jurisprudence, LitigationThe One Mistake Many CEOs Make About SEO
Posted: 2010/09/23 in Education / Awareness, Online advertisingThroughout my experience with SEO (Search Engine Optimization), the one frustration I have encountered the most is the lack of desire many CEOs and higher-ups have to understand that ranking high is *not* the end goal they should care about. It should be leads and conversions.
