		<description>The concept of a &#039;completely silent&#039; agreement is highly critical in the world of SEO/SEM.  

Many markets are new to both site optimization and paid search engine campaigns. I&#039;ve advised all of my clients from telling their peers that they have hired me for one simple reason: It dives the cost of their own campaign up.</description>

		<description>&quot;the person that no one knows, but everyone uses.&quot; I like that, but how do you land business afterward? Just word of mouth? If you design something for say, the cheese industry, are you forever stuck in the cheese industry? 

Marketing, marketing is weird business.

I hadn&#039;t thought of an NDA to protect my intellectual properties, the idea is growing on me.</description>

		<description>Wow, this should be interesting hearing about both sides of something that I had never thought about before!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment!

I think we actually agree here - and excuse me if I did not make myself clear. I mention having an NDA is important &lt;i&gt;because&lt;/i&gt; then clients cannot reveal strategies, just as you said.

And, of course, with any company&#039;s permission, being able to share with clients stories about others you helped is great - but depending on your business, especially when dealing with sensitive information/companies, permission is not so easily or freely granted.</description>

		<description>I respectfully disagree with you.  I think with an NDA in place your clients cannot reveal your strategies, tactics, etc.  Should a prospect see that x company is successful they can assume it was because of your expertise.  I think you can and should discuss the clients that you have helped (with their permission of course)you don&#039;t have to disclose any tactics, etc.  I believe the goal of the marketer is to market themselves as much as they market clients.</description>
