Everyone is trying to take advantage of the industry and as a result it is carrying more weight then it can handle.

There are a load of sites or companies out there who say they can do SEO. The fact is that they usually outsource to other SEO companies and use their site as a front door. There is still really only a hand full of professional SEO experts that SEO companies are outsourcing to.



When a website say they offer SEO it really doesn't mean they do it. It's a bit like graphic designers saying that they do printing but really they don't.

SEO takes a certain skill and what gets me is designers or people who are new in the inductry all of a sudden wanting to get a piece of it. By profession I am a Graphic Designer and Web Designer aswell but over the course of 5 years I applied and did better then ever with SEO. But there is a reason why I stick to what I do. I find if your really good at something stick to it. Don't get me wrong I encourage entusiasts to learn, this is why I have SEO Workshops.

But the bottom line is after the workshop if you are still technically or creatively not handling it, then perhaps it is not for you and you can stick to what you are best at or you can give the job to a professional. But overall the great thing about doing a half day course is to know if this is what you want to do for the rest of your life or it's something you want to do just as a one-off for some small web project.

Getting into the market now particularly when the market is oversaturated is not easy, so I encourage people who want to learn to apply their knowledge to their own one or two websites they own. I don't encourage you to go out and start your own SEO company as it is really difficult to break into the market for new SEO's who are trying to get a name for themself.

Be aware when your looking out for a SEO company to take care of your sites needs. Be sure to check out testimonials and other examples of their work before going ahead, and make sure they have been around for a while or the CEO of the company is well known in the industry.
