AND… rather cheekily, a new PR win has also included taking over the management of their SEO from their existing company.

There is no bigger turn off for a potential customer.

Seriously, I need to know where to buy an RPG.

And if you got 10,000 visitors from the dragons den then I am a Chinaman.Ooops

How are you going to get customers lining up at your tills?

It’s often exposed as “PR vs SEO vs SEM” – whereas in reality it’s about putting together a balanced strategy which works with and for the business in question.

Undoubtedly this is different for virtually every single business concept – for a whole number of reasons!

My PR people are damn good and the miserable old git is also very good, I must say. However it helps that they both have something to get their false teeth into. But, while both saw my AK47 front page shoot the cars benefits, neither of them saw the potential of my latest GoogleJack which grabbed 10,000 TV viewers last week, for free http://www.lingscars.com/googlejack.php

Even experts can miss things.

As an PhD in customer interaction, I will also say that too many websites are stuck in web 1.0 and need to start engaging their customlingers.

Duane is learning, bit by bit 🙂

It will start happening soon, if it isn’t already, with Social Media Marketing too.

“I need some PR to promote my new service”

“You dont wanna do that, you wanna do Social Media Marketing….”

Well researched and well thought out online (and offline) PR, by someone as experienced and well regarded as Mr 10Yetis (and no, we don’t know each other well but I know his work) should be seen as an enhancement to SEO and other promotion work, not an either/or situation.

I can’t comment on the thread in question as I haven’t visited the site for a while; bu it seems that the same old arguments are being fought 🙂

I look after 30 website + all of which have impecably credentials on the engines.so which site were you alluding to.?

The PR done for that company would probably have all been done by the owner so no surprise that PR failed miserably.

As commented on by the Head Yeti it really isn’t a case of PR v SEO it is a case of discovering exactly which combination of key marketing elements work for an individual business.

Anyway, it is people like you (Duane) that made me realise SEO related PR is the future (like Garlic Bread)!

Cheers

Andy
