&#8220;Is Search Engine Optimization Worth It? SEO and the ROI Debacle,&#8221; a complimentary report from Fathom SEO, explores the industry and why companies fail to initiate or implement sound strategies.

&#8220;Studies show that <a href="http://www.fathomseo.com/forms/seoroi.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="SEO">SEO</a> spending is on the rise, but it may mean that marketers are trying out search engine optimization &#8211; not necessarily succeeding at it,&#8221; said Mike Murray, Fathom SEO&#8217;s vice president of search engine marketing. &#8220;Many companies attempt SEO, but clearly they&#8217;re falling short in the rankings game and the traffic that comes with strong visibility.&#8221;

The industry is more than 12 years old, but some companies still haven&#8217;t launched their first SEO campaign. Those who are engaged don&#8217;t keep up with the program or miss vital sections of their websites because SEO is viewed as a part-time effort, according to data compiled for the report.

&#8220;It&#8217;s tough for <a href="http://www.fathomseo.com/forms/seoroi.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="ROI">ROI</a> to emerge as a top priority if the practice of SEO is seen as a one time event or something some marketer or webmaster gets to when they have a chance,&#8221; Murray said. &#8220;Quite frankly, <a href="http://www.fathomseo.com/forms/seoroi.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="search engine optimization">search engine optimization</a> can go only so far when design flaws ooze out of websites and conversion opportunities are missing or buried. Businesses will prevail if they&#8217;re open to change.&#8221;

The white paper includes:

- ROI considerations
- Reasons why some websites have success with hardly any SEO
- B2B and B2C behavior trends
- SEO conversion patterns
- Common ways companies doom their own programs
- Misguided methods used by some search engine optimization consultants
- Industry growth

The report encourages companies to look at how they compare to the competition for reasonable search terms on major search engines. &#8220;At some point, they need to decide how much it matters if they&#8217;re not at the top,&#8221; Murray said.

Murray, a nationally recognized speaker, is available to discuss the guide, <a href="http://www.fathomseo.com/forms/seoroi.asp" onclick="linkClick( this.href );"  target="_blank" title="search engine marketing tactics">search engine marketing tactics</a> and related trends.
