It just so happens that we are planning a full redesign of frusterio.com. Therefore, I am interested in what you have to say on business goals and SEO.
I'd say goals first. I have a fair grasp on SEO.
I'm sure most people aren't going to vote for those subjects. But whatever :)
#4 please....so much has been written about inbound marketing lately...all good of course. But, if you are selling an enterprise solution or any solution into the innovator or early adopter space, you better know how to cold call! Before you write the post you might want to check this one out on our site..it is our 2nd most popular posting which says to me there certainly is a lot of interest in the topic! I look forward to your thoughts and thanks for asking.

I'm adding a topic "Link Building On Steroids with Your Brand New Blog" for my man, Doug, @greatmailinglists.com
@Trish: I'm going to be referencing your post as well as Al's post.
@Tony. You got it. Maybe you should write a joint guest post on my blog. You're damn smart and know a lot of this stuff already. Why don't you start the post in a google doc and share it with me. We'll write it together.
You should have made this into a poll on Quibblo, and posted the widget here.
That sounds like a great idea Pete.
What kind of deadline would we be looking at?
I'm very interested in writing a post with you.
How about creative ways to collect leads (aka) contact info from your website visitors.
That's a good one, Jame.
I get so focussed on driving traffic, I forget about lead gen.
Will add that to the list.
Any B2B company should look fist to their visitors on their website.
These are interested companies, who found the website by their own means: "the natural way". Pull Marketing.
What is needed?
- Website visitor identification by company name.
- Visitor qualification by pages visited, time on pages and returning visits.
Cold calling upon these warm companies is not so cold any more.
It's web analytics for lead generation, not for webmasters.
Leverage the investments made in SEO and other techniques driving website visits.
I'm adding a topic: "How to Leverage Vertical Content Aggregation Communities Like ActiveRain, SeekingAlpha, The Customer Collective, Recruiting.com"
Any experiences with these sites? Are there other sites out there that aggregate blogs to build vertical communities?
Malcolm Sheppard of Gill Media will be posting a guest article about how small businesses have a website presence whether they want to or not, because social media sites allow their clients to talk about them. So, if they want to control their online presence, they should be building it.
going to write a version of this one "Building an Online Network of Clients and Prospects" on Paul Chaney's blog.
Probably will highlight how my sales blog buddies are coordinating their conversations.
