Need to Hire SEM Help? Where to Find Industry Thought Leaders

Securing SEO, PPC, social media and analytics advice can be risky, like buying diamonds from a jeweler you don’t know. The premise of the purchase is sometimes the customer’s enthusiastic lack of complete understanding of criteria by which to judge the actual value of products offered, a dynamic dangerous for both parties.

Well, Spring is more or less here. Last weekend we spent most of our time outside and I was worn out by the sun. I bought a new lawnmower. It’s the kind you might have had as a kid—you know: no motor, just a handle, some wheels, a couple of gears and a thingamajig that spins. (I didn’t know until I bought this thing that the spinning part doesn’t do the cutting, but forces the grass against a stationary cutting blade.)
