Stop the Confusion! Use SEO Terms Correctly
We have a problem in the search marketing industry, and it’s getting big enough to potentially threaten our livelihoods. The problem is especially dangerous in that customers seeking out SEO services are more confused than ever, which is unfortunate since SEO is no longer a new industry.
A big reason for the confusion is the misuse of industry terms. This wouldn’t be so bad if it was just the general public using incorrect definitions. What makes the problem serious is that it’s primary cause is people in the SEO industry who use words incorrectly.
Here are some common reasons terms get misused and why it’s important for people to get them right:
Marissa Mayer Clarifies: Search Is Only 10% Done, Not 90%
I spoke to Google’s Marissa Mayer at TechCrunch50 on Monday (a little after she we celebrated Google’s 10th birthday with cupcakes) and asked her about the search is “90-95%” solved story over the weekend. She said she’d be posting a clarification on the Google blog. That clarification just went up, here.
In the original article, published in the LA Times, Marissa says search is “90 to 95%” solved:
Search is an unsolved problem. We have a good 90 to 95% of the solution, but there is a lot to go in the remaining 10%. How do we monetize new forms of content as they come online such as video, maps and books. How do we help content providers transition their businesses online and build healthy businesses.
Today Marissa clarifies, suggesting that her real point is that the first 90% of the search problem is solved, but that was the easy part. The last 10% will actually be 90% of the real work, she says, and it will take decades or longer to complete it. She also compares search today to the fiields of biology and physics in the 1500s or 1600s.
A Call to BtoB Marketers — Integrate Search Now!
Regular readers of
Strictly
Business undoubtedly know that search marketing does not happen in a
vacuum. Instead, it both impacts, and is impacted by, other forms of
marketing. In fact, search has the inherent ability to both capture the
demand created by other marketing channels, as well as to drive prospects
who seek products and services online to convert offline. So why then do
BtoB marketers make it so damn hard for prospects to connect the dots
between their search marketing efforts and their other marketing
initiatives?
