Why it’s tough to hire SEO staff
-Good SEO’s know with affiliate marketing makes it easy to make more
-freelance web design and development makes one man project management a reality
-it’s cheaper offshore (making profitability and scalability tough)
-billable hours are no fun, and employees know the value of their work
-working for someone else is no fun – good people like their independence
-it’s expensive to be wrong
-Requires a diverse skillset
-It’s a seller’s market

Okay folks, there are only so many free tools out there available. For the time being, I’m pretty much out of ideas. If you have ideas for tool lists (or would like to do a tool list) feel free to let me know. At some point, I’ll go back through and redo some of the lists in the compiled internet marketing tools archive, but for now I will just release the occasional tool as I come accross it.

I received an e-mail from a kind gent in the UK this morning in regards to his take on the “sandbox” and his summmation of it. I asked if he would like to have it “guest posted” here as I thought it quite insightful. He has posted at WMW in the excellent thread there as well (*note supporter’s forum thread).

The Webmasterworld conference in Las Vegas was great as usual. Thanks to all the people who made for enjoyable conversations (you know who you are). Special thanks to Brett and company who always put on a great show, and to our gracious Grand Canyon tour guide who was as passionate about the national parks as we are about internet marketing. I’m glad I made it back alive (barely), and with some fun new friends, business contacts, and a headfull of new knowledge.

Well, the trip officially kicks off tomorrow at 6a.m. Pubcon X is guaranteed to be a great time filled with a ton of new business opportunities. The vibe when you get hundreds of idea riddled geeks and marketing folks together in that small of an area is truly electric.

Oh boy. This should be fun. From his take no prisoners candor at conferences to his “asshole of the week” award on webmasterradio, Greg is never lacking for entertainment value (and SEO knowledge for that matter). Thanks to Oilman for breakin’ the news.
