Talking Standards at SEM Scholarship Contest 2009

Posted on | June 26, 2009 | No Comments

This year I have decided to add my voice to the writers who have come before me and put forward a piece in the SEM Scholarship contest which is now in its 4th year!

On Thursday, the first round of entries were posted so the excitement of the competition begins!

My piece, Oh, That’s Right, We Don’t Need SEO Standards focuses on the continued lack of understanding that the ‘general public’ has of SEO. I take some stats from a closed study I did among service professionals to identify where some of the SEO misconceptions lie.

If more industry professionals enter the SEO standards debate, perhaps the industry itself will move forward in setting the benchmark service standards and definitions that we so desperately require.

Jump on, read the article, have your say. Take a moment to peruse the other entries – you may learn something new!
