One of the most frustrating aspects of my SEO business is working with web designers. Not because they’re difficult to work with, to the contrary! The most difficult aspect is over-riding each other’s work. I’ve tried using the Dreamweaver check in/ check out system and in all the years that I’ve been using Dreamweaver, every time I set up that check in/check out program my computer ends up crashing. I’ve tried this with several versions of Dreamweaver on several different computers so it must just be me!!!

But, I also don’t like to use Dreamweaver’s FTP program because it’s simply not reliable. When I upload a page I expect it to be uploaded. I don’t expect to have to go back and do it again. But with Dreamweaver’s FTP program, that is simply not the case. I rely more on WSFTP to do my downloading and uploading and it’s always been reliable.

But, I’m wandering. Back to the frustration of how to avoid over-riding each other’s work? I don’t blame the frustrations designers feel when they go into their clients’ websites and make changes only to see that be written over by my work. At the same token, I’m extremely frustrated when I spend hours optimizing a page only to review it later and find all my changes written over.

Too Many Hands In The Pot!!!!!

So, for any SEO marketers out there, how do you handle this frustration?
