Nope.It's supposed to be a polite way of describing companies that are in the shit.

I'm a bit shit at SEO, I don't advertise it as something I 'do'..... or more like, I always say "I code the site properly, so it will hit google, but you wont' hit the 'big boys [of your industry], so go for obscure local things. Like if you're based in Harrow and are an estate agent, aim for things like 'Harrow estate agent' or 'harrow property lader', rather than 'london properties'.... so I'll do my best, but I'm no expert on this."
Looking at the code, use jQuery to run all the javascript, and although Google doesn't really count Metas that much any more, other search engines do, so get the metas right.
Link Exchanges with affiliate buisnesses are fantastic ways of get objetive traffic through your door.

[from what you said down there...]When it comes to setting up social network based links, make sure it's relivent social networks, like forums based on your industry, and check the social network you're doing that on is indexed by google.... no point in hooking up on, for example, a year ago, Facebook, because the profile wasn't indexed.

blog-commenting is great, as you can say what you want, and thus make it relivent to the result you want.Like, for example, if you find a blog based on a new product that needs marketing (which, without reading your site, I think is your main objective), you could leave a message like....
"Fantastic product, I like the way X does Y. Have you thought about branding on the site? Over at www.brandrep.co.uk, my friend managed to get the packaging done blahdy blah blah, email me at me at brandrep.co.uk and we'll see what we can do".
Email is fantastic, but not templated emails, I look for buisness cards with @hotmail or @gmail [etc] addresses, which mostly don't have any kind of website, and contact them personally. I tend to go through local newspapers, as that proves they're up for advertising, I say something like "Imagine an advert in the paper, but with no size limit on content, full colour, animated.... it's a great extention to your advert".

We did this thanks - used namechk.com to see which sites ranked highly too.(, Thu 5 Aug 2010, 12:15, Reply)
I have set up profiles on about 40ish social networks and included the URL in the profile.I haven't spammed though - not putting it other peoples blog comments, not using link farms etc. Am considering registering with a few directories and will link to other pages on the site not just the homepage.
I want to get good results on search returns on related searches eg brand agency.
