Comments on: Backlinks to Websites – Bad for Business? http://www.custwin.co.uk/custwin-blog/2009/10/backlinks-to-websites-bad-for-business/ Website strength and online visibility combined lead to business Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:47:21 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.custwin.co.uk/custwin-blog/2009/10/backlinks-to-websites-bad-for-business/comment-page-1/#comment-64 admin Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:22:36 +0000 http://www.custwin.co.uk/blog/?p=20#comment-64 Manipulation is a good word actually because yes, that's what can happen in PPC but I suppose it's also equally the case with natural SEO. I wouldn't say though that the Perry Marshall followers are gaining huge amounts of innovation from the materials supplied - there are many tricks that are missed out (probably in the add-on products sold). As I suspect you'd agree Lee, a client company is only interested in results and whoever supplies those results (whether it's online or offline, or usually a mixture), is going to keep that client. We do live in times though where people just 'Google' for what they need (not in all cases of course) so gaining positioning (whether by PPC or natural) is really important as part of the overall picture. We recently got brilliant results for a company who previously believed that they were being hit by the recession. In reality they were just invisible online and a few short weeks later, they were generating much higher revenue than ever before - purely from being visible online (and having a website strengthened as well).

PPC really doesn't appeal to me because it seems to be manipulated by followers of perry marshall and the like. I like a combination of both online and offline marketing. It keeps your wits about you far more than being chained to a keyboard. Lee As a small company myself with limited resources and time, SEO is something I would love to spend more time on.

Not sure what can be done to change the powers to change but you put forward an excellent argument to do so. A great article.
