SEO Blueprint, Mourning Old Media’s Decline and Search SEO Pro

Online Marketing Connect has a good overview of what you should include in an SEO blueprint.

The New York Times reflects on the developments I’ve mentioned over the past few days. The whole article is worth a read, but this part is particularly interesting:

For readers, the drastic diminishment of print raises an obvious question: if more people are reading newspapers and magazines, why should we care whether they are printed on paper?

The answer is that paper is not just how news is delivered; it is how it is paid for.

More than 90 percent of the newspaper industry’s revenue still derives from the print product, a legacy technology that attracts fewer consumers and advertisers every single day. A single newspaper ad might cost many thousands of dollars while an online ad might only bring in $20 for each 1,000 customers who see it.

The difference between print dollars and digital dimes — or sometimes pennies — is being taken out of the newsrooms that supply both. And while it is indeed tough all over in this economy, consider the consequences.
