Comments on: What Was Your Defining SEO Career Moment? http://outspokenmedia.com/seo/defining-seo-moment/ Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:32:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Roger Ellman http://outspokenmedia.com/seo/defining-seo-moment/#comment-61856 Roger Ellman Fri, 09 Mar 2012 17:22:35 +0000 http://outspokenmedia.com/?p=13716#comment-61856 Keywords and crossed fingers (an old English habit) when we launched our first travel website in 2001. Then eating fresh fish on the beach, grilled to perfection – well deserved after an all night, all-out final push to get that first barebones site on the road.
Best wishes,
Roger

On another note, this post and Dana’s comment here has inspired my newsletter article this week. Unbeknownst to Lisa, she makes a cameo…look for it tomorrow (Wed!)

I don’t see that anymore. I wonder if they stopped or if people just stopped giving them out.

Making the decision to take 2 days out of a vacation in Europe to go to Distilled’s Linklove conference in London, where I met Tom and Will and others and found out about the NYC office opening. I also met Wil Reynolds and Rand, and all of this set me on the course to where I am now. If I had never made that choice, I wouldn’t be where I am.

In the words of my boss at the time, “I bagged the elephant!” Unfortunately, we weren’t able to deliver the results according to the client’s expectations. I learned a valuable lesson that setting client expectations was hugely critical, and that even a hugely profitable client from a financial standpoint may not always be a good fit for the company.
