Nearly Legal SEO Discussion

This Twitter discussion with Nearly Legal will make the lawyers reading this smile, and hopefully a few more business think a bit deeper about SEO and the true value of the internet.

@iAmALandlord As in put it in a Google plus post and Google sticks it at the top of search? Desperate by Google…

@iAmALandlord Same result – see how it gives your name and ‘in 186 google+ circles’? Did you not know this? http://t.co/mADZnf3dLR

@iAmALandlord Yes, but the rel=author code is what calls the G+ ID, and that is what google is pushing up the pages. As an SEO point it is

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord > trivially obvious, but it is also bad practice by google, promoting G+ in that way.

@nearlylegal – A picture next to a post for using rel=author code proving authenticity, what’s so wrong with that? Makes perfect sense to me

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord Because the only reason that your link features in that position is the G+ association.

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – not true, it was #! way before we added the rel=author code

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – here’s the proof, try “fastest growing legal website”, Full Contact is the firm I consulted for, no rel=author code

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord I have no idea what that is meant to be proof of. But what a wonderfully pointless search to come top of 😉

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – also try a search for “understanding HMO licensing” – no rel=author, just good SEO 🙂

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – maybe, but as you know, lawyers have big ego’s to feed – it worked LOL “Understanding HMO Licensing” isn’t pointless though

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord You mean ‘lawyers don’t understand the internet’ shock 😉

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – only the ones I’ve not helped LOL 😉

— Mark Alexander (@iAmALandlord) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord *Shrugs* Of course SEO helps. Wasn’t my point.

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@iAmALandlord Oh, no, they still don’t understand it if they were pleased with that search result 😉

— Nearly Legal (@nearlylegal) September 20, 2013

@nearlylegal – LOL, that was just for a bit of fun, no different to my blog about “Business Lawyers Norwich”, that will make you smile 🙂
