#2296: 10 Skills That Good SEO’s Possess
So you want to be an SEO aye? I’ll be the first to tell you that working as a Search Engine Optimization professional is a very cool gig, but doesn’t come without it’s challenges. SEO’s are a very special group of people (that’s just my opinion) that often have a very diverse set of skills and experience.

While working at People To My Site, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many companies in the franchise business. Let me tell you, working with a platform of franchisees is a whole different animal than normal SEO.

This article comes on the heels of a few website redesigns and relaunches that the SEO team and I have had to work through over here at People To My Site. People (namely me) and companies are always redesigning their websites, and while some really do it right there is always the potential for it to get really screwed up from an SEO perspective — which happens more than I care to admit.
