Hi Kathy

All of the items you've listed are fantastic. BUT I BET that 90% of all marketers here at Adland don't own or have their own sites.  If that is TRUE then all should go and learn more about what is listed above and also try to get your own site together... Having your own site is: PRICELESS and you will reap the benefits from it and at the same time learn lots of goodies about marketing and SUCCESS.

uhhhh...is anyone listening??? That is the best single post I've ever seen on SEO here at Adland!!! If you don't understand that, it is all about optimizing your own web site...that is, one that you own and can make changes to optimize search engine friendliness. It's all about balance and beware taking extreme steps...the gurus have "optimized" their SE bots to catch the "unethical". Awesome post Kathy, I'm stealing it if you don't mind, and will, at a very minimum, paste it on my desktop for future reference. Excellent links and terrific content. Take care my friend!!! PS: Anyone here who can get listed on the DMOZ??? I've applied several times with http://www.synthetix.us/ but have not been listed yet!
