Meryl's Notes Blog

Disclaimer: I’m paid to talk about Marqui in however manner I would like.

I interviewed Stephen King, CEO of Marqui, last week. In it, he talks about the company’s success with SEO (search engine optimization). Also, Robin Good slashed and diced the company’s SEO white paper. Then, James Paden posted a comment in response to the interview, which in turn, prompted a Marqui blog entry. A lot to read and absorb.

Though it sounds like an unfriendly debate. It’s not. Everyone is passionate about the topic, so it comes out that way.

I’ve been following SEO for a long time, not for my own site, but to understand it as one who writes about effective Web design. One thing I can say for sure… by the time you figure out the latest SEO techniques especially Google’s, they’re outdated and new ones have come in.

I blame the sites who have nothing but keywords and affiliate links on their page for Google’s frequent SEO changes. When I arrive on such pages, I leave immediately. If you want my clicks, then I’d like see see content. It’s my way of “tipping” the site for providing quality content.

If you manage to read the aforementioned postings on SEO, we’d love to hear your opinion on the topic.
