On How Semantic Search is Changing Everything
Excellent article David! A nicely laid out look at how search has evolved, and continues to evolve, and how a focus on SEO tactics alone isn't enough to earn businesses a spot at the top of search results. An article I'll be sharing. Thanks!
On Facebook for Small Business: Is It Worth It?
Fernando, thanks for your comment. I agree completely!
My apologies for the delay in responding (somehow I missed seeing your comment).
On Zen and the Art of Search Engine Optimization
Excellent article! Easy read, makes total sense and hopefully will help small businesses who may think SEO is the key to being successful online. In a sense they're right, but not in the traditional sense of hiring someone to use every 'trick' in the book to raise their ranking in search engines. Better to focus on building a business (and online presence - website and social) that delivers what people are looking for and needing and to include solid SEO practices based on reality into the mix.

On 7 Tips for New (and Inactive) LinkedIn Users
Thanks for your comment Andrew! Yes, I find it quite suprising too.
Some of those with inactive/incomplete profiles are quite successful and very networked, but not online. It's not hurting them now, at least not in obvious ways to them. But for the ones in their 40s who are still likely to have many productive working years left, it may.
Most employers looking to hire sales, marketing, communications,customer service, managerial, key leadership and other roles are, I would guess, wanting this skill and knowledge in potential candidates. Even when the person doing the hiring ISN'T knowledgeable in social media themselves.
Even now and in the future, where there are two candidates vying for the same job, one's experience and knowledge of social media could be the difference maker/deciding factor.
