The SEO Girl

Don’t we all sometimes find ourselves wanting a bit of control in our lives?. I like change, but there’s just certain things that I like the way I like them. You can’t blame a girl for liking a lil order in her life, can you?

Well, it would also make me one not-so-great SEO client. I’ve dealt with a ton of SEO clients over the years, and the ones I’ve had the most success in working with were the clients who allowed me to actually implement the ideas we discussed. I’ve had other clients who loved the new ideas, but were very cautious to actually implement them, and as a result, the campaign did not see as much success as it could have. As long as the SEO Specialist you’re working with is from a reputable company or background, and is indeed an expert, trusting them and giving up some of your control is a must in a successful SEO relationship.

I understand that if you’ve worked with an SEO “guru” who turned out to just be a shadester, you’re understandably going to have a hard time trusting your new SEO Specialist. But starting the new SEO relationship by needing control over every aspect of the campaign is going to result in just another failed relationship. Once you’ve established case studies and credentials, trust your SEO expert, and you’ll both be on to a happy future in SEO land.

Even the most sunniest rays of sunshine among us have felt the twinge of sadness or felt a bit depressed from time to time. To help alleviate this feeling, we’ve turned to our friends, family, professionals, music, writing – whatever helped us connect with the outside world and bring our emotions out at the same time. Whenever I’ve experienced a bit of sadness or stress in my life, surrounding myself with people I trust and being social helped me navigate to chipper waters. Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve felt so much less stressed after logging into Facebook, seeing friends’ comments on my posts, reading and commenting on their own posts, and sharing my thoughts. I was instantly connected to these people whom I count as great friends in the physical world, but now I also had their warmth in the digital world.

Which brings me to the question – do you think social media has any effect on easing depression? One of the symptoms of depression is the tendency to alienate yourself. Same with the stages of grief – alienation can be very tempting when dealing with a loss. Social media allows us to become instantly connected with so many people. Of course, those relationships should extend into real life, but isn’t it so comforting to log into your Facebook or Twitter account  and see the world is still going on, others are also experiencing sadness or stress, and yet time moves on, just as you will? Just a thought I’d love to hear what you think!
