		<description><![CDATA[I am always flabbergasted with clients who pay good money for us to develop SEO strategy for them as well as manage their marketing campaigns and yet they do absolutely nothing with it. They ignore requests for web site modifications and enhancements, as well as other marketing suggestions.

It is in these scenarios where SEO does not make sense.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a "back to the basics" style of post related to search engine optimization (SEO). I plan on doing a number of these over the next couple of weeks that will detail the entire SEO process -- from laying the foundation with strategic keyword research to effectively monitoring your progress. So if you consider yourself "advanced" in SEO, you might not wish to read any further. My target audience for this post is the "newbie" -- in other words, those who are just beginning their education in SEO or at least are fairly new at the practice.]]></description>

It is no different then when celebrities use their clout and status to speak out of some subject like they are some kind of authority on the matter when in all actuality they are not.]]></description>

The strategy paid off -- Wasp spent less and got better results.
