FreelanceSwitch.com SEO Drawing
December 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Every holiday season, we try to do something special. The past couple of years have seen us doing non-profit work and pro-bono consulting for small businesses. This year, we decided to kick it up a notch.
We are giving away a complete SEO package!
I have long been a fan of FreelanceSwitch.com. To me, there is a certain excitement in helping people move away from the corporate culture so that they can work for themselves. After all, some of the best designers, writers and thinkers I know are freelancers! We work with freelancers everyday to help out with our own workload, and I know much of the tech industry is the same way! Freelancing services are a crucial part of my business and will be for a long time to come.
A couple weeks ago, I was listening to a FreelanceRadio Podcast, and it just clicked…
Why not give away a full SEO deal? Sure, two hours of consulting has some value to some people. Generating a keyword list or a link partner list can be beneficial for others. But why not SEO a freelancer’s site so that they can start pulling some serious search engine traffic in three or six months time?

Search Engine Friendly vs Search Engine Optimization

SearchEngineLand brought up a great point, Search Engine Friendly does not equal Search Engine Optimization.
Search Engine Friendly is a great marketing technique when selling your software online. A customer wants search engine to be able to crawl through the content with little to no resistence. That’s the only way that they will get natural traffic! But Search Engine Friendly isn’t a save-all for seo.
Generally speaking, the term “search engine friendly” describes design elements, menus, URLs, content management systems and shopping carts that are easy to optimize, while search engine optimization is all about improving the volume and quality of search-referred traffic to a website.
When a piece of software is regarded as search engine friendly, it points to the features, not the effectiveness. It takes a webmaster to be effective. It takes someone who knows what the hell they are doing, and not someone just publishing content the is relatively meaningless.
