Making Money Online WITHOUT Google

The September 2012 Brisbane SEO meetup session was inspired by the question "Why are we so dependent on Google ?" The obvious answers is : Because 94% of Australians use Google to search the web. However, another valid answer which got quite a lot of attention is "We aren't". The point here is, that although Google is clearly very important for many site owners to generate traffic from Search... there are plenty of other ways - not necessarily search related that we could 9and should) be … [Read More...]

There is no instant gratification in digital

At one of the recent SEO meetups one of our new members had started a discussion around how they had some problems with a SEO training course they had purchased online from some obscure overseas provider and ultimately felt ripped off. From my understanding the course was sold to them around the topic of being able to identify and buy suitable websites to purchase on platforms like Flippa that would be a pre-built business. This would enable them to shortcut the whole process of building out a … [Read More...]

SEO Roundtable Q and A Session – Brisbane SEO Meetup (January 2012)

The Brisbane SEO Meetup group kicked off 2012 with "roundtable" Question and Answer Session - which gave attendees the opportunity to raise any SEO related questions they wished, and have them discussed amongst the group. Because we had nearly 30 Attendees, we split into three separate groups and discussed questions which had been pre-submitted by members (as a part of the RSVP process). SEO, being what it is, there is rarely a definitive "correct" answer to many of these questions, so a … [Read More...]

SEO Roundtable Question and Answer Session – Brisbane SEO Meetup (October)

Last nights SEO Q and A session was the first one we have tried at the new venue and seemed to be very well received. We split into three groups to discuss the questions that had been submitted by members as a part of the RSVP Process. It was much easier (and more productive) to deal with questions in a small group, and by carefully interspersing SEO Pros, with Newbies and Intermediate SEOs we seemed to get a very good mix of skills, experience, and perspectives. In 40 minutes we managed … [Read More...]
