I'm fairly new to this biz. I've learned most everything from this forum (which ROCKS, btw!). I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but I have learned the basics of SEO: directory listings, doorway pages and optimization for spiders, locating vortals, maximizing link popularity, etc. I've gotten a few clients and I'm doing pretty good. Now I have a potential new client who sells goods wholesale on the web. So my question is, do I treat this the same way? Or would the approach be different? Is this considered a B2B site? Are there B2B-specific search engines and vortals I need to know about? Do retailers search for wholesalers via traditional search engines? What kind of sites would I target for link popularity? I would appreciate some pointers. I'd sure like to sound somewhat knowledgeable about this when I present him with a proposal.
Thanks in advance.
