My heart has always been with small business people who are used to the handshake and eye contact networking of face to face marketing. My working hypothesis is that they are the almost invisible (in serps) majority, and it takes three or four redesigns before they start to feel oriented and equipped to ask the smart web questions. That's in this country where everyone and their auntie has a myspace page or a blog. It's like that saying, "good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment." It can take a while to make it to the more interesting end of the pool. Thanks, David.

I see this everyday here in Asia where the market isn't as mature as the in the west. I have to keep reminding myself to keep it simple. I like the part about getting them to use their current assets. Many see blogging as a necessary evil and approach it that way. Nice post Elizabeth.

Seriously - though I know a little about an industry that puts tremendous care into choosing the right words for Search, explaining what I do to my neighbors is a challenge. To them, I am "a computer person." :-) Thanks for stopping by, you three! Ironically, I was reading or had just read something that each of you wrote, just before you commented here. How cozy is that? It’s funny, in a slapstick sort of way, that explaining what we do to those out of our niche can be so hard that it’s sometimes a source of jokes.
