You’re welcome Maria – glad to help Jargon can sometimes be so confusing & limiting!

Thanks for posting this. It now looks a lot more straight forward, with the jargon out of the way.
Thanks for the recommendations too, good to know about them.

Thanks for your comments Christina – the law currently only applies in the EU, not where you are in Australia.
cheers

Great article, very interesting and informative. It really helped me to
understand more about cookies which is an area I really did not know
much about. I did not know that there was a ‘new cookie law’, I did not
even know what the old ones were! Thank you so much keep up the good work.
I look forward to reading more information.

Hi Tracey

Thank you for making this clear in such simple, understandable language. The Internet is moving forward at such an incredible pace that I can sometimes not keep up with all the changes and new terms, so when one finds a post like this one, you really have an “AHA” moment.

Have a wonderful 2012 and I’m looking forward to many more of your down to earth explanations.

Comment on How not to get swindled by "SEO experts" by Hitesh Patel

Yes agreed, some background knowledge is a good idea, as it would be when hiring a builder, plumber, lawyer or anyone really. I think the main problem here is sorting the genuine SEO providers from the unscrupulous snake oil sellers ).

I think in addition to your points I would also suggest remembering (as with anything), you get what you pay for, always ask for references (and call them), it is usually better to work with a company based in your own country, ask the provider what reporting and how often it is provided and read the contract VERY carefully.

Thanks for your comment Hitesh – one thing, I think people should definitely know what SEO is about (even if they don’t know the minutiae) so that they can assess whether a company is being honest with them or not!

It can take a long time to learn SEO and most business owners need to concentrate on their businesses. Having some background knowledge can be useful but most of the time it hampers our efforts as we need to re-educate clients about what they think they know about SEO.

You are 100% correct about any SEO company that promises a position 1 ranking. It is however common practice for companies to offer page 1 rankings in return for a performance bonus.

Great information, we all have so much to learn about SEO, the one true thing is as you say; learn to do it yourself!

I love gravatars – it makes the whole online interaction thing a little more personalised

Yes, I just found it and did it without much thought – good to think of sharing it with others who might not know – I certainly hadn’t!

Hi Diana, yes, it’s tea time for you If you’re delivering content via email (with PDF attachments), or just content straight in the email) then you don’t have to worry about protecting pages… enjoy

Hi Ali, the usual way is to have a page that’s hidden (i.e. doesn’t show in your menu or anything), have the product as a download file on the page, and then use this plugin to KEEP it hidden. Hope that helps

Hi Tracy, I don’t have any information products for sale yet but this is very useful for when I do. I am planning to send out autoresponder series via email but not in pdf format. Will that still allow me to grab a tea? I don’t drink coffee. I look forward to your feedback

Thanks for the info. I had not thought to move all my digital products into my blog and I know hundreds of copies were stolen off my website “hidden” pages.
How do you put downloads on your blog?

Hi Jacqueline, great that this was useful to you – interestingly you can also use it for other pages (e.g. terms and conditions) that you want on your site, but don’t necessarily want to show up in search engine results…

Thanks Nicky – it’s something that a few people I know have experienced, so it’s worth setting things up properly from the start if we have the right info!
Enjoy the Easter w/end x
