Another seven don’ts for SEO.

[Alicemama]

1. Don’t give your customers high expectation. We all know that if you have more expectations on one thing, you will get more disappointments when you lose it. So, just do your work humbly and diligently. It also can make your customers to praise you.
2. Don’t neglect analysis. All the data are an important part for SEO work.
3. Don’t always think it’s right for what your customers said.
4. Don’t make them to be your partners who you dislike them.
5. Unless you are really sure your answer is correct. Otherwise, don’t give customers the answer which you didn’t verify it.
6. Don’t mix SEO and marketing. Yes, you can tell them that SEO can bring more high quality hits to them, and it can drive sales. But SEO can’t make hits into money directly.
7. Never relax yourself. This technology develops very quickly. You may miss great changes only in a few days. So, you should spend more time on industry news and development for yourself and your customers.

Hi,

I think that all these guidelines are applicable on other businesses also......You should do any of your work humbly and diligently.

I love #1. There is no guarantee in SEO. But anyway, there are tons of possibilities and probabilities.

Yah it's true SEO can get you in the top search and high alexa rank but it does not mean a getting customers or revenue as well. Pay per click and affiliate marketing is the way on which you can earn revenue easily. Why not try it?
