SEO industry in 2010 & new look for Blogstorm

by Patrick Altoft on / 7 responses

This isn’t a post predicting what’s going on for the rest of the year, more a post talking about what’s been a bit of a whirlwind year already and we’re only 22 days into it.

I don’t normally talk too much on Blogstorm about the stuff going on at Branded3 because I hate self promotional blogs but today I wanted to make an exception just to explain why there are so few posts going up on Blogstorm at the moment, even though it has a shiny new design.

The initial reason for slow posting was my 3 week Christmas holiday but since then business is so busy the blog has taken somewhat of a back seat. We redeveloped our website in December and that combined with a lot of people wanting to revamp their marketing campaigns in the New Year has resulted in an influx of enquiries and a number of really great new clients coming on board.

Our team at Branded3 is up to 40 people now (across the 2 offices) and growing by the week which is great to see, we’d love to have another 10 people by the end of the year. With the number of search queries up a staggering 46% year on year (35% in the UK) we’re in the middle of what we’re hoping will be a big year for the industry.

Hi Patrick,
As an owner of a marketing/video/SEO company I know that SEO is not only here to stay businesses owners and entrepreneurs are realizing it is a must-have as more and more consumers shop for product and services and look for information online.

Our latest client, a savvy businessman named Andy Feld has taken his SEO campaign to a whole new level by having a feature film produced. This provides lots of opportunity through seo blogging and press releases.

If you read anything about the low-budget by highly successful movie ‘Paranormal’ you know how affordable movie-making can be. I hope I’m not getting off track but I felt the need to share…
Many thanks!
Kim

I know SEO is a necessity for any company working with online shoping
It’s true, it is a “must-have” and the company who persuaded me of this is http://www.tlgcommerce.com
They’re new to the UK and are offering very good value for high quality products. Check out their website, it’s simple, straightforward and offers what
I think you should take a look on their site.

Interesting read. My nightmare is trying to persuade my boss, who has no clue about anything online, to devote the required resources to the new web department that I’m setting up.
