Based on the non-stop rain and humidity we have had for the last 6 weeks in Massachusetts, you could probably make a case that not only do we now have a rainy season, but where our house is located, we must live in a rain forest. Hold that thought. Dinger, our GoldenDoodle, who I have featured in several articles , tore his ACL last week. The X-Ray clearly showed that the tissue which is supposed to connect the tibia and the femur was torn.

Like any endeavor, SEO works best with clearly defined and articulated goals. If you only set vague SEO goals like “get more leads” or “get more traffic,” you will lack focus and direction. Vague goals fail to provide a map forward and feed into wasted time and generalist SEO work that will do little to help your mission.

Dear SaaStr:What are some objections that salespeople can’t overcome? A few objections reps think they can overcome … that they can’t: We literally do not need this product now.
