It has been sunny for days now in Stockholm. I like the sun, sea, and SEO. Be simple and Social.

I can’t but think of a new game. A game where you can play with seo , keywords, links.

A game that shows how some methodologies can have negative impact and how other seo methods can get a better performance.

This seo game can be a new way to change seo perspectives and how people react to each time you mention the word seo (search engine optimization) or sem (search engine marketing), a new way to get people to understand us better.

People, marketing managers, engineers, IT system developers think that SEO is a geeky job. But it seems that those people are missing out the whole picture.

SEO Consultants and experts are normal people that knows how simplicity and social fits together.

SEO Consultant is a person that knows how to create an added value from existing ressources and deploy the social networking to optimize any business.

Some says SEO is rocket science, some say SEO Consultants are too expensive but listen up and hear me well.

Wouldn’t you give 100 USD to a SEO Consultant if he or she can make a 200 % ROI for your business ?

Nothing is hidden, all information are online and forums. Sometimes it take a lot to grasp and assimilate these information and deliver a smart actionable marketing solution.
