You know.........sometimes I say stuff in hopes of sparking a "why did he say that? :idea:"
I know you probably feel as though I follow you around just to bust your balls...........I don't. Rather than say that the information you frequently post is false I will explain it this way:
I'll start by saying this shit is far more complicated than you know and to be honest a certain amount of it is "voodoo" in that nobody knows the "algorithm". Most of the "knowledge" available (at your level) is based off patent filings that surface years after the "fact" and may very well be outdated. Even then only "considerations" are noted and not "weights". Also google "rules" and M Cutts blog.......
There are people that are on the "cutting edge" but you are certainly not one of them. Don't feel bad though..............neither are the "SEO gurus" of "our industry". They are simply on a "higher plane" of understanding when it comes to the information that has "filtered down" and they know where to find/ have discovered the tools to give them an edge/niche..............and good for them.......** I'm not at the top of the food chain myself.......
I'm not even saying that the information you post is not helpful. In situations where there is not much competition for rankings in a market the "simple" info that you provide is enough to have a positive effect and that is commendable. My issue is that both you and Dave tend to "extrapolate". This becomes a problem because neither one of you know why you rank well and it is often attributed, by you both, to the wrong "cause". It isn't done intentionally, of course, but is due to limited understanding and the parroting of info that has filtered down.
Another problem I have is the mention of "testing". You wouldn't have the first f'n clue as to how to test any of the "tips" you provide. Everybody here has had the ability to see the "evolution" of your site.................for the most part the result is "I did a bunch of shit so it must work".....or you read about something that you did that someone said was beneficial.....but you have no idea what
actually worked.
In the end this sends many DIY'ers on a wild goose chase.....thinking that a couple simple steps will land them on top of a pile of money with no regard to actual search volume, competition, etc........in most cases their money/time would be MUCH better spent with one of the "gurus" . I know that occasionally you get a "great info Brian" response and while I'm sure that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside ...........................and I don't mean to offend anybody.............. consider the f'n source. What they really mean is "It sounds like you know what you are talking about so I will try it". They have no idea whether it is good info or not.
Now I'll admit...the information I give in public is usually completely different than what I give in private and that may very well be the case with you but I doubt it given the questions you have asked me. Why? Beside the competition and the "this is the above board/white hat way" aspect it is similar to magicians secrets. I'm not going to give snuke, AMR, sbox, dfb, BBank, sick, seolr, *rumer, etc lessons on CC forum (since we're talkin b'links). I'm not going to tell you that the SEO some are paying for is done by Nadia !gotcha! or other "warriors" using TBS and nuke (for example) to place spun articles and blog comments for penny on the dollar.
Yet another reason is that I make money at this (mostly not off CCs though)...............there are even a few here that
won't !gotcha! tell you they are #1 cause of me. I don't advertise like the "gurus" but I help those that "seek"........well some of them anyway.
am I smarter than you? Absofuckinglutely................no question about it................without a shadow of a ******* doubt............
but that has nothing to do with SEO !gotcha! ..........................although I could put your competition ahead of you without them ever knowing how it happened (or I could solicit them)
I wouldn't do it Mikey.....................the lord works in mysterious ways
I guess what I am saying is.....................watch your tone with me..........
