Matt: Yes, indeed but it’s even more than that. You should remind yourself that real people visit your sites, vote for them on social media or link to them.

Whether Google is the middle man or not doesn’t matter that much.
You should always connect to the actual single person not think about the mass.

Thank you for saying this. I think too often we get caught up in SEO and forget that real people are visiting our sites. The best way to run a business is to run one for the people, not for google.

Its the same, who doesn’t treat visitors as humans even if the traffic reaches thousands? Those who doesn’t look back at their site but merely looking up statcounter :)

Wow Tad, you really blew me away with post. I can’t tell you how much I agree with this statement. In this era, where we’re more concerned about reach and numbers, it’s easy to forget that your readers are people, human to. Right now, I make it a point to reply to every email/comment and I still hope I have the ability to do so when my readership increase.

Keep the great posts coming…

Cheers,
Ellesse
