I love Dharmesh and Hubspot, too. I love the CHI concept. Thanks for reading my long post, and for sharing this video.

Great article – as you mention hubspot, thought you might be interested in a related video by Dharmesh Shah one of the hubspot founders from the Business of Software 2009 conference – really more focused on the IT industry but good advice on inbound marketing both a company and yourself. http://tinyurl.com/25cyr9e

Ahh now we are on the same page. I had to comment because I figured you would be all over that strategy. Yeah those people are a riot and stay small because of it And to your first comment I didnt do that, we signed up with a good corporate blogging platform that did all of the dirty work Good to see you again.

Chris, you just think you’re fancy because you got Hare Chevrolet’s blog to page 1 for “Chevy Traverse” My intent wasn’t to say you can’t control inbound linking, but simply the power with which inbound links can wield. I cited the George Bush “miserable failure” example (not because Google Bombing is still a big threat, but rather) because it’s important for people to get the point about optimized keywords in anchor text. I’m still amazing at the number of people (especially small web design shops) who still think it’s all about the on-page stuff … like “be sure to pack your meta description with tons of keywords”. Are you kidding me?!

Great insights Dave. Enjoyed talking with you a while back at lunch and the intelligent questions you asked that I didnt have answers for I do have one small gripe. You can control inbound linking. While you cant control how many, who and how people link to your page (notice my thinly veiled attempt at keyword linking in my name heading) you can hire a firm like Slingshot SEO to build inbound links for you. You can do the inbound linking yourself (as I did here) but that takes alot of time that most people dont have. Otherwise a completely spot on post. I got to pick my title so I chose Director of Digital Communications instead of Social Media yadda yadda due to the exact things mentioned in this post. Anything I do is digital technically (even video) and its all communications. Keep fighting the good fight and I’ll see you at Blog Indiana.

Helena,

Thanks for the compliments! (And thanks for reading my incredibly loooong post Trust me, I’m no expert – my company and I are still learning and growing a lot in this area. But I did create a PowerPoint preso based on this post and it has really resonated with people! “Oh, this stuff finally makes sense” and “you should present this to the rest of the company” were the general responses. Honestly, I give HubSpot credit for my “religious conversion” to this way of thinking – be sure to check ‘em out! Thanks again, Helena.

Dave,
This post is great.
I have met lots of people who I only speak about social media as tools – not as part of a concept. There is a certain amount of fear and distrust around these two words. But as soon as you change them to inbound marketing and explain “social” as a part of this, peoples attitudes changed and people became much more willing to interact around the subject.
I will definitely be recommending this post to explain this concept to others in clear and concise manner – that I cannot always convey!
Thank you.
