Well, that’s pretty interesting. I started off my world wide web search for bananas due to the fact I wanted to find a excellent recipe for banana pie. Some how I came across your site. I am incredibly glad I took the time to read your page. Fascinating how the internet can move you around and aid you to learn so easily. Thanks for the good insight. I

Thanks for the feedback Miguel.

I’m using the built in isight camera on my Macbook Pro to record, and ScreenFlow to record my desktop.

I put the audio though Audacity to enhance the bass and reduce noise, and then put everything into iMovie for ordering and then export in h264.

The feedback has been good, it helps give a more personal side to the business!

Thanks Andrew, yes unfortunately all SEO consultants have to deal with convincing, people who have been burned before, that SEO works and that you can take them there with the right budget.

I like your site layout and the videos. I aspire to do more video here. Maybe you can share with me how you edit and convert them? They look like pretty good quality.

Well now you should have plenty of bananas to buy links with in that fancy consulting position at the TV station.

Well written Miguel.

Unfortunately with the rise of ‘cheap seo’ its increasingly difficult for the honest guys to make a living – I spend most of my time trying to get clients to understand how simple SEO really is… but it takes time, which is where the real cost is.

I think I hired that monkey in the photo to do link development for me a while back. The little so and so got one of my sites banned and ran of with a case of bananas!

Great article. There’s a lot of great tips in this article, although I did need to tell you something – I’m running Ubuntu with the up-to-date beta of Firefox, and the design of the blog is kinda funky for me. I can read the articles or blog posts, but the navigation isn’t going to function so well.

I agree. Cutting costs on SEO is a just plain stupid. It shocks me that people/business are willing to spend thousands of dollars on a web designer, but not be happy to pay the same amount for an SEO professional.

helpfulguy, my whole point is that in my extensive experiences that spans literally hundreds of different clients, outsourcing SEO whether it be to different countries or a webmaster in order to save money never provides good results.

Yes SEO is effective and good for business. And yes over time SEO will almost always eventually provide an ROI. But the ROI will be much greater, and come much faster, if you go with a real professional instead of trying to cut costs on your SEO.

Well i think SEO really helps both the the website and the seo provider, it increases the marketing of a business. it is cheap depending where the outsourcing country is..
