SEOmoz gone wild

[igl00]

There's no magic 'knowledge' that's required for SEO.

propably thats why everybody ranks top #1

their financials are pathetic

I highly doubt that Brad Feld would have written that check if he agreed.

Unless you can build pain points in and keep stacking increasing value over time, your users can and will leave you.

This is why I keep telling people that the whole SEOmoz blog crap / Rand acting like a crusader for "white hat" SEO is (for at least some portion) just a show to keep these people interested and to keep new ones coming.

Shit like Penguin doesn't hurt their business model, either...

that is why nickycakes doesnt use PPC but is top #1 everywhere in google.com!

Nicky hasn't figured out how to monetize his public notoriety since networks stopped their MLM signup schemes.

If anyone has some ideas for him, send them to moneylol@cakefarts.com

their financials are pathetic, they made $18mn last year and profited like $200k

I think they are sitting pretty at this point.

They've built their brand into the powerhouse in the industry.

I've been watching their progress with the software and subscription model and they've finally got it dialed in.

Big respected brand + subscription product that requires minimal work to maintain = happy campers.

Not to mention they have all the consulting and whatnot to diversify.

They really have 60 employees though?

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of their staff are quasi-famous industry people that add authority through their association with SEOmoz.

Rand Fishkin is an idiot about SEO, but he is a great marketer.

Wouldn't you love for Rand to show up on Shark Tank.

"UM YES THAT'S CORRECT, 18mil in rev, 200k profit"

in that SaaS is a lot of people using you, until they use something else. Unless you can build pain points in and keep stacking increasing value over time, your users can and will leave you.

The something else is about to hit SEOmoz (and others) with a tsunami. 3,2,..

I've never tried to make money off blogging or any public stuff. Referral commissions were a nice bonus though.
