Now that would be great if they did an update. I love reading about human behavior and search. I mean really when you think about it in just the last 10 years look at how far search engines have gone. Now with Social networks like Twitter some people search internally. Just something else to chew on

No problem -Thanks for the great content.

I re-discovered a cool heat map that shows the percentage of clicks that each position gets in an organic search engine results page – it really reminded me how important it can be to get those top 4 or 5 positions! I thought others might enjoy checking it out:

When it comes to servicii seo and seo services there are only a handful of companies who really know what they're doing. Only these know what content is all about, fixing site issues, URL canoniclization and rewrites and getting you a lot of links.

I couldn't agree with you more. We have several other posts addressing those “other” details http://level343.com/article_archive/category/se... . I was just looking over our older posts and it's really amazing at how things can be regurgitated. lol Thanks for the conversation.

Gabriella,

Great job on describing the differences between SEM and SEO. I would also add that SEO usually involves more "under the hood" changes to a web site, such as fixing up title tags, description tags, keyword tags, page targeting, site linking structure and other on-page factors. SEM focuses more on link building, advertising and other off-page factors.

Thanks!

lolol Hey Brain with as many acronyms coming out I have a hard time keeping up with most. Heck in my day SM meant sadism and masochism. Glad you enjoyed the post.

I never understood what SEM was at all. I thought it was another term for “PPC Expert”….like the PPC guys didn't like the fact that Site Optimizers had a cool little military-style code-name and they didn't.

Now it makes more sense.
