  96% Say Clients Need To Be Involved In the SEO Process

  Tags:  Search Engine Optimization  

  Last week, we asked you if you felt client involvement is necessary for a successful SEO campaign. The obvious answer to me, was yes, it was. But not everyone agrees, most do, but not everyone.

  96% said some level of client involvement is necessary for a successful SEO campaign. Only 3% said, it is not necessary. This is out of over a 160 responsiveness. Let me break out the poll results for you:

  Question: Is Client Involvement Necessary for SEO Success?

  :: Yes said 138 respondents or 84%
  :: Maybe Just a Little said 19 respondents or 12%
  :: No said 5 respondents or 3%
  :: Other... said 2 respondents or 1%

  The other responses, really are not valid here. In any event, no surprise here in this poll.

  Every now and then we reach out to our Google AdSense publisher readership and poll them on how their earnings are doing month to month. Recently, I have been hearing buzz around the community that earnings are down, so I decided to run an anonymous poll asking if that was true.

  56% of the responses said their earnings were down, while only 25% said their earnings were up and 20% said earnings were about the same. Here are the results:

  Question: July 2009 AdSense Earnings: Up Or Down?

  :: Way Down said 36 respondents or 35%
  :: Down said 21 respondents or 21%
  :: No Real Change said 20 respondents or 20%
  :: Up said 18 respondents or 18%
  :: Way Up said 7 respondents or 7%

  I hope you are on the up side of this poll.
