Suren, SOS’s SEO expert just forwarded me an article titled “How to explain SEO to your non geek friends.” I’m instantly intrigued.

After a few seconds of scrolling the article, I’m drawn to the heading ‘SEO is like sex’. The following line then reads ‘If you want to explain stuff to a guy, you have to take examples that he can understand.’ The sentence is patronising and the grammar is bad, but I read on anyway.

Wiep Knol who wrote the article asks his readers, ‘Do you like sex?’ Assuming the answer is yes, he goes on to say that websites like to get traffic and SEO, and Link Building creates more traffic for a website. SEO helps ‘your website get laid more often’ he says. The semi crude nature of the post would normally make me cringe, but I like to think that he’s mocking the whole cattle market culture often found in tacky bars and nightclubs. Instead his article makes me smile.

SEO is necessary for most websites because it improves the number and quality of visitors to a site. However, these 3 capital letters also carry negative connotations and have been linked to spamming and bad content- content that isn’t particularly great to read, but the correct key words have been sneakily embedded into the text so google will rank the website higher.

As I read on, Knol started to remind me of the book, The Game by Neil Strauss- basically, a mans guide to getting more sex by saying the right things- often by being a bit controversial to provoke discussion. Despite the fact that many women dislike The Game for obvious reasons, many men have found it to be a huge success. I imagine that an SEO expert is a bit like Neil Strauss, but for websites.

One of the last headings of the article reads, ‘Link Building: let yourself be found. If you can get others to recommend you (preferably by other guys in the same bar, fighting for the same women), you’ll get noticed much sooner. A link builder makes sure that others are talking about you.’

The article ends by describing a Link Builder as having a ‘very unthankful job’ because ‘they help other people to get laid, but usually don’t have time to have sex themselves. Perhaps after huge success with his book, this is what has become of Neil Strauss.

The Government believe that Google can help with economic growth throughout the nation and that technology could play an important role in helping the country’s economy to recover. There has been recent talk of Google expanding their presence further in London.

The UK Government said, “Our ambition is to bring together the creativity and energy of Shoreditch and the incredible possibilities of the Olympic Park to help make East London one of the world’s greatest technology centres”. The aim is to have Tech- City span from Shoreditch to the 2012 Olympic Games site.

In 2008, there were as little as 15 high-tech companies in London’s Tech-City. There are now approximately 200 companies occupying the area, making the ICT sector in the UK the largest in Europe, employing more than 1 million people and contributing more than £66.4 billion to the UK economy.

The Economist said, “Britain does not have a technology focussed venture-capital industry anything like as bounteous as that which serves Silicon Valley. What is needed above all, is simply more success stories. American investors are keen on hi-tech start-ups because they have seen many grow into world-beaters. Until East London produces its own Facebook or Apple, British investors will be nothing like as bullish”.

Will the UK’s technology sector always be dwarfed by the US’s? Arm is the british microchip company who designed the ‘brains’ behind Apple’s iPad. The Telegraph said that Arm is “A UK company we can be proud of”. The company recently launched a microprocessor design which it claims will lead to a new generation of ‘super smartphones’. Arm says that the new chip will allow Apple and other handset makers to design phones with ‘five times the brainpower’.

Is there hope or is it too late? America has had a head start and the companies are bigger than in the UK. One broker said, “British technology companies that become big and successful are eventually taken over by even bigger and richer overseas competitors. It’s a cycle that will be difficult, if not impossible, to break”.

Alternatively, Mike Townend, IP Group, said, “American investors have always been more supportive of technology companies than their British counterparts, although attitudes are slowly changing on this side of the Atlantic.”

Perhaps the success of Tech-City is about collaboration. After all, Google are expanding successfully in the UK and Facebook have  recently agreed to create a permanent home in East London with the intention of bringing together and inspiring the most talented developers and entrepreneurs in the UK.

Surely the future should be about the sharing of ideas and expertise and watching success happen naturally as a result of global collaboration rather than resistance and competition.

SOS generates a significant number of enquires daily from companies seeking flexible office space by way of online and pro-active marketing and feels that together with the regular enquiries from their large corporate and SME client base, many of which are received off market, they can help to generate additional revenue from surplus office space.

SOS Flex-Corp Managing Director Peter Barrett explained that his division often works jointly with conventional agents and therefore any client utilising this approach is not only exploring opportunities to find tenants in the conventional market, but is also exposing their properties to a large pool of active parties seeking space from a burgeoning and largely untapped market. “We are receiving record numbers of enquiries and have won instructions for over 300,000sqft of offices in the past two months” “This is a perhaps a sign of the times; clients are keen to try something new when disposing of space and tenants continue to seek flexibility when choosing offices, a trend that has been gathering pace over the past ten years or so and that has been brought sharpely into focus by the current economic conditions.”
