This is actually a great trick to get people reading exactly what you want them to notice the most in your web copy, literature, brochure, proposal, etc.

In the early days, SEO was more of an IT function. Later on it moved more into “marketing” strategy including the focus on PR, SMO and PPC …. yes, PPC.
