Following my Interview with Ann Smarty last week, I have decided to interview a special person of my company none other than my CEO Mr. Venkatesh for this week. Here is what he had to say for my questions
Small introduction about yourself to the people who are unfamiliar about you?

How SEO in Dot Com Infoway and Why?
I discovered that most of our business came through the web and on deeper analysis I found that when we can get businesses easily through SEO, then why not provide this as a service for companies who would stand to benefit. That is how we started our SEO division at Dot Com Infoway.

About your SEO customers and how do you handle them?
Luckily I have a wonderful team and they take care of them. I usually get the boquets and sometimes the brickbats. 
Future of SEO industry with the growing competitors
In the current scenario of the economic crisis if anyone asks me where to invest I would say Organic SEO. I firmly believe that SEO industry as well as other industries needs competition but coming out successfully is the key. I am sure that DCI can make a significant and positive dent in the SEO industry amidst growing competition and tight spending.
SEO in-house or SEO outsourced
I would love to have SEO in-house and I have been doing that ever since its inception in the year 2000.
