SEO takes constant work and it’s an easy thing to push to the back burner when other critical tasks come up, especially for us entrepreneurs, who are handling so many thing at once. I’ve found that making a plan to work on it a little bit every day really helps me keep at it.

One thing I haven’t been able to figure it out is how to effectively analyze the competition. I know who the keyword competitors are for our product grouvia.com), but I’m not sure *how* they got their top spots.

Tony – I recall reading your post back in November – it’s very well done and I do hope that people take a look. I’m currently working on our long tail SEO efforts (and for sure looking to tie our social media efforts to those as well) so your comment is very timely!

Sean – good suggestion about industry related forums. Some forum signatures have nofollow tags so don’t impact SEO, but there are those that don’t have such restrictions.

To answer your question about over-exposure: I try to record during daylight hours and do my best to guess lighting, but don’t always succeed. Ultimately, I focus on the message and not so much on the lighting (but you’re right – I should be able to make some slight tweaks to improve the lighting so that it isn’t distracting).

This also can add a lot to your google ranking for instance, if your signature on the forums contains your website.

P.s why is your face always over-exposed?

That said, when it comes to SEO for Startups, I think part of it is to be realistic about what you will get via your SEO efforts. I’ve posted about this in: Startup SEO. Hopefully that provides value.

By the way, there’s likely a lot you can do to improve your long tail SEO results and possibly better tie in your social media efforts.
