Hopefully you also got the form I submitted? Re: seo being a "science and an art" - wait until you get into the real work, then you'll see it's also a religion and a crap-shoot :) Hey Brendan

From my quick look through it seems you guys did a good job – well done.

Hopefully you also got the form I submitted?

We have the fbd.ie thing in hand and that form is also being revised. The SEO was done internally - it's both a science and an art... Thanks for the feedback Richard.

Used their online contact form to tell them about http://fbd.ie/ Not good :( Wonder who did the site? Looks like they considered SEO from the get-go which is a great thing to see. FBD.ie looks good.

I guess people can sometimes forget that this is ultimately a personal space and that the owners expect to be treated with respect. I don't think I've left too many keywords here, much to the chagrin of our SEO guy :-) That all makes sense.

People or spam bots leave comments. People are trusted. Ideally leaving your christian name and surname is good but just a christian name can work too. I would think it is mandatory then to have the link as your employer's website. Your employer needs to be mentioned somewhere if you are engaging on their behalf. Also, see, we bloggers are used to some thick business people leaving their company name which is nothing more than keywords for their business. When Best Cake Company Cork leaves a comment, it's going to be blowtorched. If you just signed as FBD, that's just as impersonal as the press release or newsletter sent out. Bit cold like.

BTW, what's the etiquette for leaving your personal/company name on a comment? I see Michele isn't happy if you don't leave your real name (http://twitter.com/micheleneylon/statuses/913858787). Thanks for the mention Damien.
