Would you push for an annual raise even if the site hasn’t been performing well (traffic and revenue down) but has been on a decline well before you joined the company? I’ve been with the company over a year but seo has been on the decline for over 3 years now. I’m making low end 60k with 8 years experience across marketing specialties. Should I ask for more?

Performance raises are usually tied to the objectives you have set with your manager. I never recommend having objectives that are outside your direct control (i.e. traffic decline) but against objectives you can control (projects completed, incremental gains like improved GSC tech metrics / indexation, specific gains on pages you worked on). If you haven’t set formal objectives then writing up a list of accomplishments like this can still help make the case for a raise. With 8 years of experience I would expect you could easily earn more.

Yes

Unless you suck at your job…

As long as you know you could get more elsewhere (or the same for less work) you always deserve a raise.

Dating a girl - been going great.

I said for her to tell me if she’s not interested and we can leave it - she told me she is interested but the timing is wrong. I said ok let’s leave it - she said it’s my choice (despite inertia from her).what to make of this?

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks. I have had a string of managers within the past year, it’s starting to get very annoying as each person says method A is wrong and B is right, another manager would have the complete opposite view. Have you had similar experiences when this practice and adjustment begins to interfere with client deliverables.
