Comment on SEO is Not a Silver Bullet to Sales by Nancy Simonds

Carolyn–thanks for an excellent, well-reasoned article. You’re right that in the rush to make the content searchable, some people forget that the message also has to speak to the reader and incent him/her to take the next step (call or email) to find out more about the product or service. Good content–client centric, honestly written, and carefully organized–is still king!

Funny you ask. When I first heard about this gig sometime back I woke up one night trying to calculate in my head how much he was pulling in. After getting nowhere with my mental calculations, I got up and queried Google. That brought me to http://betterexplained.com/articles/techniques-for-adding-the-numbers-1-to-100/

Sum from 1 to n = {n(n+1)}/2

Using that formula (if my calculations are correct) he pulled $66795 in his first year when the cost increased by $1 each day. Given that each day sold.

Comment on What Does Quality Web Copy Mean Today? by Carolyn Griswold

Carolyn Griswold — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 20:55:22 +0000

Well said! It’s vital that website owners and their copywriters “crawl inside their customer’s heads” when preparing their web copy. And the increased use of social media for relationship marketing provides opportunities to develop an understanding of customer expectations. But as you said, that is indeed a topic for another day.

Thanks for the great post!
