Hiring Outside Help -- Is It "Cheating?"
High Rankings Forum
"Not at all. It's funny because we are a SEO [search engine optimization company” but will outsource copywriting services as well as extensive link building services.

Webmaster World
"Essentially Google is now a business which is critically dependent on one supplier for providing value to its customers.

ClickTracks Vs WebTrends
High Rankings Forum
"WebTrends is very robust and can be an incredible tool, but you have to be a genius to set it up and then set up the automated reports....ClickTracks is an excellent marketing oriented stats solution. For evaluating marketing and usability trends, it is the best available. However, if you want technical stats, this won't do it for you....NetTracker is one of my favorites for getting technical and drill-down data from a website. It is a breeze to set up and the interface is naturally intuitive."
