SEO: A Business Model Worth Copying
Amidst the gloom surrounding media and even online advertising, there is one category that has steadily been growing year after year and shows few signs of slowing down. Search marketing groups that offer search engine optimization (SEO) are still the darling of the interactive world (along with social media groups, of course) and in many cases this is justified. After all, search marketing and SEO specifically is highly measurable, impacts the bottom line and for many businesses it is a necessity. What makes their business model so strong - and more importantly, what could any business learn from it? Here are a few thoughts:
- Everyone knows it matters. If you are on the Internet, you realize the power of Google. If you're not listed, you may as well be invisible. SEO is the cure for that invisibility.
- It has an easy sales pitch. Most SEO firms could have a two word pitch for their services: "rank higher." Getting there may be more complex, but at least describing it is relatively straightforward.
- Not everyone can do it. For some it may seem easy, but good SEO takes time and attention. Keeping up to date on changes and continual monitoring as well as advanced techniques to impact Google's algorithm make this a specialty skill most people need help with.
- Little infrastructure or hard costs. Technically, you don't even need an office space - just a computer, an Internet connection and enough knowledge to succeed.
- Your clients spend money to avoid spending more money. The alternative to good SEO is paying for search ads. Based on Google's sliding scale auction model, this can add up pretty fast. If you rank highly for the right searches, you can avoid paying the hefty advertising fees to Google.
- You need to keep it up, you can't cancel. Anyone who has purchased SEO services know that it's a bit like a drug - once you're on it and it's working, you can't go off it. If you do, you'll lose much of the benefit you received while using it.
- Results are highly visible. The last and perhaps most important reason for SEO's success is that anyone can very quickly see the results. You either rank highly, or you don't.
I'm a believe in the power of SEO services and think they are a necessity for most businesses. Aside from the benefits of doing SEO, it turns out you may be able to learn something from their business model as well.






it is not so easy as it sound in this post man.......it can take you months after months to get result for single keyword..........and only on white hat. if you go black hat with likely risk of being removed from web......you can get quicker result..............only thing is.........if you have success record.......you can make good...........only then it is a good business.

If only it were that easy Rohit, if only.
But it certainly is a very educating process and everyday there is something new and exciting coming up. The trick is sieving the quality from the clutter and giving your clients a good ROI.
Isn't it?

I think that SEO today is far more easy than it was,few examples-before you where buying links -today you can use social bookmarks-social networks-video sites-blog comments for link juice-and if you do it right way-you will kill two flies with one punch-generating quality targeted traffic from those links and boosting your seo and search engine traffic.
Question is :"how lazy you are and will you do it"
