Website ROI for organic SEO
-
A potential client would like to see published industry reports on ROI for SEO projects before they commit to doing. Please could you point me to some credible industry reports that shows the direct impact of organic SEO.
I think that it would help if this report had organic click through rates, an increase in organic traffic as well as ranking info. if available. Thanks.

This is a bit of a catch 22... The overall benefit of SEO will vary from site to site, the only way to prove it will work on your clients site is to do it!
Explain to them that optimising the content will not only improve SEO rankings but also help with converting users from others sources. This is because ultimately SEO is all about optimising your sites for user experience.
Optimised content = better user experience = more conversions = better search engine ranking!

Every seo engagement is completely different. Different starting points, objectives, resources and so on making this type of industrial report/comparable ROI analysis near impossible to be completed. The ones you do find typically fits someones agenda making the report extremely biased (as EGOL stated).

....could you point me to some credible industry reports that shows the direct impact of organic SEO
Most of the reports that are published are case studies of kickass results. Nobody writes up their busts.
The real bottom line is.... ROI varies wildly from one "SEO expert" to another... and just to be fair... for some websites you need a magician instead of an SEO.

Forget the industry standards. This data should be in your clients analytics. They should be able to see the %of traffic and conversion rates for organic vs paid vs direct. I would bet that organic converts the best, and if that is true and you can increase the proportion of traffic from organic, then you have a winning solution for them that is specific to their site and industry.

How do you learn SEO effectively, with so much information out there
I’m reasonably new to the SEO market, but I find it hard to keep up with all the information that comes out daily. I not always sure what to believe or who for that matter present company accepted (SEOmoz). But I’m sure I am not the only one who finds this difficult, does anyone know of accredited courses in SEO / Internet marketing, in the UK or distant learning that could give me a very good grounding. Or if anyone just has some good ideas on how to take all this information in, I would very much appreciate their views. Regards Kevin

Choosing an SEO Company
Hi Guys, My first question for the forum. So here's my question, everyone in here has something to do with seo, but how would you choose an seo company. There are many a wild claim made by so many companies. Having done seo on our portfolio for about 6 years, however now I just dont have the time to spend. In my initial inquires I have asked for examples of their work and run a back link analysis to see the kind of links they have been building for their clients but so far all I have found is a load of directory links and no real innovation. I would be interested in your thoughts of how to sound out some companies. Thanks Alex

Looking For Offline Software that Synchronizes with an E-commerce Website.
First of all, this isn't really SEO related. I can see this being an interesting discussion. One of my websites has a POS system that has an integrated eCommerce store where using a third party software you can sync the data that is in the pos directly to the website. You can add what products you want on the website with the (offline) software and add all the online product essentials such as product pictures, shipping weights, titles and ECT. I am looking for a shopping cart system that is an offline software that you would install on your PC and basically add everything offline and then sync like the other software but without the pos. It would basically be like eBay turbo Lister but instead of eBay it would be your website...obliviously. I have been looking for a while now and can't seem to find anything. Is there such a thing? I know this would be kick ass platform to develop and I have everything mapped out how to do it if there isn't one out there. Looking for insight.
