			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The short answer is &#8220;Only if you want people to find your site&#8221;.</p>
<p>The long answer&#8230;well let&#8217;s put it this way.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;ve just opened a new store at a new address that nobody knows. You paint it your favorite shades of blue and orange (because you hear <a href="http://www.curiousread.com/2010/12/how-color-affects-our-purchasing-habits.html" target="_blank">people buy more when surrounded by blue and orange</a>). You neatly stack the shelves, and make sure you have sufficient stock on hand (because you don&#8217;t want to get caught without product to sell). You get a new logo, a new sign, new business cards, and even a new cash register. Excited, you open your doors on the first day at your new address&#8230;which nobody knows. You wait anxiously as you see people drive, walk, and ride by &#8211; but nobody comes in. You&#8217;ve heard that old adage &#8220;Location. Location. Location.&#8221; and in rings through your mind as you wonder if you made the right move. Nobody comes in. You start to wonder if opening a Pet Supplies Store in the middle of an <a href="http://www.aspca.org" target="_blank">ASPCA</a> Activist neighborhood was a good idea.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what it feels like to open a website with no SEO. You have no control over your destiny, because you&#8217;ve taken no control of your SEARCH ENGINE RANKING. Have you EVER gone to the last page of a <a href="http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHMZ_enUS385US385&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;q=pet+supplies" target="_blank">Google search for &#8220;pet supplies&#8221;</a>?</p>
