The Most Important Ingredient For SEO Success: Trust
Like any good relationship, the one between you and your SEO firm needs to be built on trust. At NetSearch Direct we pride ourselves on achieving results for our clients, but we also pride ourselves on our customer service. From kickoff meeting to the start of your SEO strategy, through maintenance and fine tuning, we strive to stay focused on meeting our client’s needs by applying the very best standards of care. Unfortunately, there are many SEO firms who outsource work, use “Black Hat” tactics, and refuse to open a dialogue with their customers. These firms give SEO a bad image and we’re here to warn you against some of their shady practices.

Industry Trends: The Numbers Don’t Lie – Social Media Marketing Continues to Grow
In September this year Twitter.com, Tagged.com and Ning reported serious year-over-year audience growth at 343%, 330%, and 251%, respectively. Facebook announced 39.0 million unique visitors and a growth rate of 116%, and social networking giant MySpace.com is reported to have 59.4 million unique visitors. If these statistics don’t prove the importance of social networking, consider that in the most recent presidential election Barack Obama had over 2 million supporters on Facebook and over 800 thousand supporters on MySpace. John McCain held over 600 thousand supporters on Facebook and over 200 thousand supporters on MySpace. Politics aside, you can’t argue that social media marketing is critical to utilize when you want to deliver your message.
