Hi Matt,
Thank you for answering my question.
It’s not simple to be different in a saturated market, but is exactly this challenge that makes the excellent (or smart) ones stand out in the crowd.
It’s really a fantastic thought. Today, the only firms that can afford to get the best advice on SEO and Social Media are the larger corporations who are now beginning to take over a lot of the SERP’s. I’ve seen large corporations start to require employees to connect to a Facebook Fan page or submit comments to blogs etc which makes it very hard for the small company to be heard. Transparency will allow the smaller players to have a voice in a space that was made for them.
From the same post:
“… seduced by the SEO dark side into thinking they need to make content for Google instead of for their readers. It dumbs-down the content, which turns off your real audience, which ultimately makes you less valuable to advertisers.
Remember this: Its not your job to make content for Google. its their job to find the best of the web for their results. Your audience is your readers, not Googles algorithm.”
I’d like to have your valuable opinion on this, Matt. Really.
Thats terrible advice !
If everything is made transparent then everyone will know what to do , why then SEO service required ?
Matt, could you provide a link to this case study, please?
Thanks.
Matt,
could you please google:
“If someone charges you for SEO, you have been conned.”
and give us your opinion on that?. Thanks.
This guy Derek maintains that:
“Look under the hood of any SEO plot and youll find advice like this: make sure to use keywords in the headline, use proper formatting, provide summaries of the content, include links to relevant information. All of this is a excellent thought, and none of it is a secret. Its so obvious, anyone who pays for it is a fool.”
‘Fantastic Budget’ as you said a much problem to me, Matt, I am running with small business scale. Whatever, I am very pleased you said this word ‘CREATIVITY’. I take your word CREATIVITY and I believe with my innovative mind really gives a successful output in future. Thanks Matts for your motivation about CREATIVITY.

What is the name of the company or person you mentioned, who did the open case studies? Air Ginke? I did not catch and could find it in SE also.
Theoretically it would be fantastic to be really open and transparent about your processes and there are excellent reasons for doing so.
On the other hand, your clients may not be so thrilled about having their internet marketing strategy on show.
I generally don’t reveal who my clients are & they’ve questioned me not to reveal my methods & their identity so their competitors don’t take advantage of the work I’ve done for them.
