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. Hi Tracey

I think the main problem here is sorting the genuine SEO providers from the unscrupulous snake oil sellers :o). 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.

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.

Have you already talked about the change in default setting to see posts of pages and friends you interact with most? I changed my settings and noticed a big difference in the friends/pages that I see. Trying to get the word out.

I am very proud to say that I have already done the things that you suggest, I have found it very useful to place very targetted adverts on FB too and now that I have a good number of fans established I don't need to advertise as new people are joining all the time. It is a very powerful tool to use and again with unique relevant content it adds value for people interested in your specialist area. Thanks Tracey. XX Thanks Tracey, for more good information.
