This guy is a true pioneer. I read the SEO Book years ago. It is still the best source out there on SEO – especially for people starting out. No doubt, he is tops. He always puts out great information… better information than you pay for, many times.

Good interview but it can be better if it includes some tips on how to get good quality links from large websites, to help on getting top rankings in search engines.

Thank you very much Dave for your time and interviewing Aaron on SEO. It is always good to introspect the comments on SEO, especially when it is coming from eminent experts. I would also like to share information, In my experience if your website is focussed in particular geographical region like the UK, domain like .co.uk would be more effective.

Thank you very much once again.
With Regards

Top-notch interview and information! Just when you think you got it down, it’s time to move again. I guess it’s just the nature of the beast. It might be time for some serious website reevaluation. I’m sure there will be plenty to do in 2009.

All the best,
Lee

Thanks for the words from Aaron. I especially took note of his comments about moving from a website model with free and low cost content to a pricer online community. I answer legal questions for free on my web site and it’s becoming a headache. Perhaps I can monetize the responses enabling me to put more time into each response giving the user a better response at a reasonable cost.

Just came across this article, completely on the money, as Gavin indicated above i think its more about building your reputation online than just trying to garner a mass of links, future seo to my mind all about se trust, Great article Dave especially for some one just getting started in seo.

Hi Dave, sorry I’m only replying now.

Yes, it was the Teaching Sells by Brian Clark. There was a ton of good info in the course and I was all fired up and ready to launch great things but somewhere along the way I lost my momentum. I do intend to get back on track though!

The course covered everything from how to set up Moodle with Amember, using multimedia in online teaching and different tools to use. I think the course is closed now, but is re-opening again soon.

I think Mr. Wall needs to explain his comment about “random hand edits”. I have never heard of such a thing and it sounds quite absurd since design has almost zero affect on organic search rankings. That’s the point. Can he prove that hand edits actually happen and at what point in the search? If at the point of indexing, for which keywords are these sites being dropped? Certainly Google would never edit ‘the highest quality information in your space.’ Google doesn’t care about design, they want comprehensive, relevant CONTENT for their searchers. Google is an information retrieval system – not a subjective design critic.

I’m also concerned that he doesn’t talk about the most important part of SEO which is keyword research and strategy.

Also, let’s be clear that what gives SEO a bad name is when people tout success as top rankings. I can get you top rankings tomorrow for keyword phrases no one is looking for or for which there is only moderate competition. SEO is a means and not the end. The end is converting a searcher into a customer and unless an SEO talks about that, the rest is just smoke and mirrors. SEO is about working with the technology to reach the searcher – it is not about beating the system.

Hi Dave, really great article, very well written. Its good to get the opinion of a well respected industry professional such as Aaron. I was pleased to see I share alot of the same viewpoints as Aaron, although I have less experience than Aaron myself.

I myself don’t want to compete in the SEO field for me the future is Analytics and understanding your website visitors. Its about trying to create a good impression on your visitors and about educating potential clients.

Measuring success with tools such as Analytics is great because you can see what it is people want and don’t want to read about, plus you can get more control over your conversion rates.

You also realise that search isn’t the only form of traffic worth targeting. But that’s something for another place.

I think in future SEO will be more about reputation and how long you have been in the game, inbound links are important but there’s too much room for abuse at the moment.

I also think that getting involved with communities is a very positive way to grow your business, especially so with the Open Source Business model.

I like the part about SEO going to become more about public relations and social interaction.
Interesting point of view.

I think he answered that question. The business model isn’t scalable. He wants people to join his community. :)
