Btw, thanks so much for your post. Its help me,

True, and I completely agree with you. However, “living with the SEO consequences” sometimes (and thankfully, not always) means the client blames the copywriter when “This SEO stuff doesn’t work” That’s why the CYA documentation is so important. If the client chooses to make the changes after hearing the pros and cons of that decision – cool. Like you said, it’s totally their prerogative, and the changes could have been made for a multitude of reasons. As long as the client understands that the copywriter is no longer responsible for the outcome once the copy tweaking starts, it’s all good. :)

So true. Clients should be educated…but at the same time, remember why they hired their experts. It’s the same as when I talk to my doctor. I may have reviewed my symptoms and condition before I walked through the door. But I expect her to be the expert and have better answers than what I can read in a book. :)

Do I love sharing information when a client says, “I read this…what do you think?” Heck yeah! Do I get frustrated when a client says, “I read a blog post, and let’s do it like this from now on.” Heck yeah! Reaching a compromise, where the client feels (and is in) control – and is educated about the different SEO ramifications – is a happy balance.
