Last week, I spoke with a Web designer from an established Web design and development firm in Singapore to find out why many of these companies have not adopted SEO as part of their offering to their clients.
The Web designer questioned the need for SEO when their clients could pay for sponsored links to get visitors to their sites.
I want to know what other people thinks, so I posted this question to my Linkedin community:

Steve Jobs did it again and this time, out of an envelope.
Yes, I think the MacBook Air is magic. It has the magic to make me say “I want” when I first laid my eyes on it.

So, I visited her Web site and very quickly discovered what was preventing it from being found in the search engine result listing.
I had just made a short video on the use of IMG ALT tag at my other SEO blog and was pondering what to write at this blog.

I was in and out of the Number 1 position for seo singapore since my last post on Ranked 1st for SEO Singapore. And I think it’s alright for my ego as long as I am in the top 5.
This week, the last week of Year 2007, this blog was demoted to #3 and #4. LarryLim.net came up number 1 after vanishing from the top 10 for several weeks. And I was thinking what happened to my friend…
