Was the keynote Gary V? Sounds like him from your remarks and I love that guy.
So much has changed in this and every other online business over the past 7 years. As in most any industry the first years are full of fast money and little to no rules, over time things settle get more competitive and mature. In the early days I remember a guy sitting at the bar at Internext talking about how easy it was, submit a gallery to thehun and BOOM 20 to 30 sale, my first thought was that we best get in quick because easy money never lasts.
I think customers service and quality produce will stand the test of time no mater what happens in ours or any other industry and that has been my primary focus for the past 3 or 4 years. I think that mentality has paid off with 2013 being one of my best ever and I am really looking forward to what 2014 brings with some exciting new projects.
As far as SEO goes it is a lot like the other parts on the online business, more rules, less cowboys and coming back again to a quality product. Google knows exactly what's happening on your site and if you think you can trick them with a bunch of inbound links and scam tactics then I would think again because it has no future.
Nice to hear from you Shap and shoot me and Email or IM some time so we can talk.
Happy New Year to all
