  2. It should include a heavy emphasis on SEO. People think they can just blog and start getting readers. Well, there are about a million bloggers out there. You have to really know how to catch the traffic to make this work. It’s not easy.

  3. I’m in agreement with that last comment. SEO is getting harder and harder. People need to know just how hard it is to be noticed on the Internet. You need to keep this in mind at the very beginning of any web project.

  4. You are not kidding Brian. We got a call the other day from someone who wanted to rank on page 1 of Google for the term HDTV and said their budget for SEO was $199 per month. Really! I think people read these crazy (often untrue) stories about how people make mad money with some turnkey website platform or make money from home deal and think they can do it themselves…
