Appirio is one such company that jumped on this trend way back in 2007 and has now built a significant company in that space. But when I found out that Rajeev is a computer engineer, I suggested to him to build a cost-effective SEO services firm, which would be more interesting. Sequoia has financed them.

So when I went solo, and people in my network needed SEO, they naturally thought of me.” Out of that result, we created a client with more than €5 million in revenue.” These tools got mentions in all of the industry trades, at conferences, in SEO groups, and so on.

Another scenario: you’ve been optimizing for 12 months and your revenue per customer has increased by 2%. So, we don’t actually ever have a perfect estimate of actually how much extra revenue was due to our testing, but I think that $200 million is a fairly reasonable estimate.” How do you explain this to the boss/client?

I had already left my good paying job when my son was born in 2007 so failure was not an option. For example, ater working with a handful of small businesses, I realized buzz words like “SEO” were often thrown about as a way to generate revenue, but few knew how to make them work for their business.

Far more common is a need to acquire customers through a series of steps like SEO, SEM, PR, Social Marketing, direct sales, channel sales, etc. It appears that LTV should be about 3 x CAC for a viable SaaS or other form of recurring revenue model. What is Twitter hadn't gone to SXSW in 2007? This is a mistake.

Be prepared to cross the desert - SaaS requires R&D and sales expense up front for a multi-year stream of revenue, so it demands enough investment capital to fund 4+ years of runway. Farming is also often overlooked, but can help grow customer accounts and revenues from 30% upwards (if successful). Great list! Philippe Botteri.

We'll measure Revenue, Profit (the money we make less cost of goods sold), Expense (cost of campaign), Net (bottom-line impact). If the company did both things, revenue was $12. Compared to the control group, revenue went from $12 to $10. 17% reduction in revenue, 23% negative net impact to the bottom-line.

I would focus on one product and set a goal to generate $1M in yearly revenue from it. Outsourcing is something a big company, with a known customer / problem (that has revenue & traction) does to save cost. I have a proposal written up including full cost and revenue projections. Once you’ve done that – then.

Prior to the iPhone’s introduction in mid-2007, designers could rely on windows at least 700 pixels wide (if they ignored accessibility). Converting older websites to responsive design causes headaches not because small screens are difficult, but because most HTML documents were written under an assumption about screen size.

But if Thanksgiving this year was $15 mil revenue and last year was $10 mil then is that good? Let's say I did lots of things to drive SEO from Nov 2007 to May 2008. More importantly, is that good enough? This is where tribal knowledge comes into play. What is different about this year and last (or this month or last)?
