The 5% hard part of SEO
I was just reading search engine land and read probably one of the best posts I have read in a long time. There have been some people talking about how easy 95% of SEO is and that it is up there with snake oil salesmen. Todd Friesen (aka oilman) goes into the 5% that is not easy.
On a side note I thought it was funny that Oilman is defending us “snake oil salesmen”

I just read the article. I agree that change the URL is difficult. And the client relations are very important to a SEO firm. For the URL I have a solution though. One can creat a subdomain, let’s say sub.domain.com, then 301 redirect the long long URL to the subdomain.

Why say it’s only 5% if you consider it so important?

The reason is that you don’t spend much time on this stuff.

Most SEO tasks do not require a lot of time on an ongoing basis, but perhaps require some up front time.
