This interesting article by SEO leader Aaron Wall in Search Engine Land basically says that you shouldn’t consider hiring an outside SEO expert until you have built your website organically. SEO and a website is like a good bottle of wine – it is a lot better after it ages!

Social media expert and leading blogger Chris Brogan provides a summary of 6 recent blog posts [a number of them featured in Daily Bytes] which together are a recipe for the modern business – whether your business is large or small.

Chris says that he will be covering this topic more in the future and I will look forward to featuring these posts in Daily Bytes.
