[Sigia-l] Search engine marketing

[Stephanie Heacox]

Oops, let me be more specific:  I was looking at SEMlist.com, which seems to
be affiliated with SearchEngineWatch.com.  Anyway, it's just huge...

I started with SearchEngineWatch.com, which is a great site I have long
used.  The problem is that there are a bazillion services listed there, and
I have no way on knowing which ones are the best...hence my request for
recommendations.  Thanks again.

These days, most reputable search engine optimization and search
engine marketing companies do a fair amount of market-oriented IA.
They help clients design sites with each page focused on a single
topic, analyze language and labeling, create attractive and
descriptive title tags, and so on.

Anyone interested in this topic should check out SearchEngineWatch.com.
