So I’ve been catching up with my podcast backlog and caught Greg Niland (aka GoodROI) interviewing Brad Geddes (aka eWhisper). He asked a pretty interesting question mid show
“Do you see Google a partner or as a vendor you’re buying traffic from”
good stuff, you can download the whole interview from Webmasterradio.

I believe it’s a smart decision to think of these things in the most positive way. If you treat your SEO or web developer with respect, as if they were a friend and business partner, you’re more likely to get better work out of them.
Same goes with key vendors & suppliers. I do my best to think of Google more like a commission based sales force that I manage than some sort of mindless robot or piece of office equipment. It’s my job to make sure Google has the materials they need to help us make the sale.
