		<description>i gave away some SEO tips for free once to a friend, and he ended up asking me to give him a full SEO review of his site about a week later. 

i went to drop my dog off at the kennel and ran into the owner. she was having a problem with  layout she was trying to do in Word. i told her to let me take a shot for free and see if she liked what i did. she loved it and has now been my client for about 6 years. i redid their website, do all their print ads, email campaigns, etc. And she's referred MANY clients to me.

i dont know if it's good marketing or good karma, but giving away a little bit for free seems to bring it back 10 fold.</description>
