Ok… This week you can fire questions at the Muse of the Moz, none other then Rebecca Kelley! When the seductress of SEO is not decoding search engine algorithms she enjoys watching television among many other things.
Rebecca recently told me:
Yeah, I watch Heroes, Entourage, Lost, The Office, 30 Rock, Scrubs,
Flight of the Conchords, The Wire, Curb Your Enthusiasm…I watch a
lot of TV. I also see around 80 or so movies in the theaters each
year.
I am always amazed at the questions you guys come up with and I am sure Rebecca will also… so fire away at her!
EDIT: Post closed for comments pending answers!

September 14, 2007 at 11:39 pm
Yeah, Boowrecka. What’s up with that?

Why do you work for SEOmoz when you could be working on your own sites/projects? Why earn money for Rand when you could be earning way more money working for yourself?
Even if you were not working on your own sites and decided to go the Consulting route… think of how much more you could make.
I guess I don’t understand why any skilled SEO would ever work for someone else.

Is it more satisfying to rank a clients homepage high in the serps or rank your own ? Do you ever question yourself why you do something for a client when you could do the same for yourself and earn a lot more ? How do you deal with it ?

Thanks,

In considering how to optimize do you try to take into account the possible use, by competitors of your clients, of non-Google/Yahoo/MSN paid ads through Adbrite and other altneratives, or are those non-Google/Yahoo/MSN services overwhelmingly insignificant in your opinion? If any of those ‘little guys’ do get your attention, which are your favourite “little guys” of paid ads?

I worked in SEO for several years for agencies and private firms. Now I manage the Web sites for a large company. We are playing around with the idea of social media and how it can help us. (our target is mostly over 30 yrs of age) The problem with social media is it is difficult to show the return – like SEO was at one time. What ideas do you have for showing financial/revenue gains from using social media?
