I find it hard to believe that somebody with a very large skill set is equally talented at every single skill he has. Which is the reason why somebody with a smaller skill set is more of my idea of a perfect employee. They tend to be more of an Expert than most broader skilled employees. Quote:

The off-page one is all about getting other websites to link to yours. There are many ways to do that and all of them demand a huge time investment. There are many resources to help you get started (SEOMoz, for example). Whatever you do to get links, do it legitimately and do not pay for them. Otherwise, Google will find out, sooner or later, and will black list your website. The on-page component is about properly deploying your content and images on each of your website’s pages. There are many resources to guide you in that process and one of my personal favorites is Web CEO. However, when you develop a web page, you should do your on-page SEO around your content, not the other way around. In other words, write your content for people, not for the Google robots. So, if you develop an e-commerce website, make sure you include all industry-required features (SSL Certificate, trust seals, security services, etc.) and content (policies, product description, pricing information, etc.) (<a href="http://blog.unibulmerchantservices.com/13-must-have-e-commerce-website-features" rel="nofollow">http://blog.unibulmerchantservices.com/13-must-have-e-commerce-website-features</a>). Ideally, your SEO efforts should seamlessly complement the development of your web content, so that visitors to your website will not be noticing anything out of place.
