Couple of days ago I read an article on Get Shouty about the process of building an online start up.
All my thoughts bounced off from the initial intention of the post to the directions of SEO.
With less than 1 minute I saw myself replying to Katie with my SEO arguments.
Why that?
I’ve got a theory,
actually i just made up, but it’ll work.
My theory is: optimization is addictive and can cause brain damage.
OMG! I said it. It’s true tough.
When you are on the SEO arena everything else becomes worthless, the only thing is more is never enough.
More PR, more inbound links, more traffic, more rankings, doesn’t matter the size of you dose you just want more; the need for increasing amounts of alcohol SEO tactics to feel its effects (if you’re like that, there’s recovery).
Hold on that’s not right, before learning about Optimization, Search Engines, PPC, PageRank, SEM, I learnt how to Communicate, how do Build Brands, Relationship/Direct Marketing.
What happened? Where did a lose the track on this more than 10 years experience?
Can’t both worlds work together? Does it need to have a wall? Is Myopia affecting me?
Had you been missing opportunities which were plain to see once you adopted a wider view?
The echo chamber effect on the Net is stronger than it is anywhere in the world.
We tend, actually, we assume that people care about stuff we care as much as we care.
thats not true, people are too busy caring about their stuff.
However I dont want to finish this post with a wrong impression, I want you to be happy as I am.
I found this video on one of the comments at GetShouty and how can we learn from gnomes on our businesses
Cheers
