Search marketing, and most Internet marketing in fact, can be very threatening because there are no rules. There’s no safe haven. To do it right, you need to be willing to be wrong. But search marketing done right is all about being wrong. Experimentation is the only way.

Even experts can’t tell you which content will attract the most links. You just have to try it and see.

-- Gary Shilling -

And with this sort of increased visibility, there's more money going around in the industry, and it changes a lot, in terms of who gets into the business as a creator, who sticks with it, and who gets pushed out.

Taking away territory that really matters to them is really, really important because it prevents them from focusing on external attacks.

That's my one type of place that's a safe haven where I go and it's just me, the basketball and the hoop, and I'm just doing something I love to do.
-- LaMarcus Aldridge
