I find it hard to do SEO at all when I have ADD. Terrible. The research part is easy but actually building a site and put it into good use is a pain in the arse. I am not a writer at all and hiring writers tends to yield terrible results.

I remember hiring a writer to write 5 articles and in my keywords i told him i want 2X Keyword1 and 2X keyword2 articles. He actually wrote the articles with 2XKeyword in it. If anyone knows any content writers that actually write in English please let me know.

Seo is a chore, I'd rather outsource it. Coming up with ideas and strategies is satisfying, but the dirty work sucks.

I do love doing seo. Especially when you see your sites soaring on Google SERPS. There's always something new to learn everyday...not boring like my office job

God no. SEO is wack as hell. It is funny to watch Google slap sites out of existence though.

Naw i ain't letting google control my cash flow. I'll stick to paid media.

Mm, do you have any tips how to train the sales guys to sell SEO packages? Do you pay their sales by percentage? Just wondering

I love SEO when it works. Some rankings never increase no matter how aggressive your SEO strategy are and that is when I really hate doing SEO. Kinda contradicting to be honest.

For me SEO has 3 parts.
1) b2b - I don't like it, but we do it, that is stable money and long-term contracts.
2) working with my sites combining all seo hats)) I like it, becuase there is my victorу and my emotions)) but only my)
3) webmasters services - I like it most, because our clients is our colleagues and I'm happy when they cum of our services.

that is my position

For the most part I do enjoy SEO. It allows someone who has put in the time & effort to be able to soar above others simply due to knowledge. If you apply your knowledge you can then make good money. The only downside of being successful in SEO as it can take away from family life...

No! It' bores me to tears.
Once I thought I was awesome and clever until
I realised it was just simple investigation, deduction and implementation.
You never see a heart surgeon giving a high five during an opp.
Or a barrister saying "gottcha!" to a jury.
I love the testimonials I get. They make me feel all warm.
But doing the grunt work?
Outsource that!
