Any good SEO technique sooner or later ends up getting devalued by overuse/misuse. The only ones that will stand the test of time are being a) very topic-focused and b) very good. Hi Neil.

]]> Comment on Ethical SEO and the non-client testimonial by Neilzb http://www.seo-writer.com/blog/2008/09/11/ethical-seo-and-the-non-client-testimonial/#comment-17840 Neilzb Thu, 09 Oct 2008 16:07:34 +0000 http://www.seo-writer.com/blog/2008/09/11/ethical-seo-and-the-non-client-testimonial/#comment-17840 You missed 1 thing from that story . I suspect that the conversation you had with the guy looking for you help has a much higher financial value than $0.00, as was the amount the vacuum guy will earn from helping you. Why? Well, clearly you were impressed with the way the vacuum guy helped you without trying to screw you for money. This has proven him as someone you can trust to fix your vacuum if it ever does break. But… if a friend or relatives vacuum ever breaks, you wont think twice about recommending him, and then the people you recommend him to will recommend him. So you see, by treating you how he did, he will prob earn 100 times what he could have charged for the repair to your vacuum. The same goes for you and the guy who wanted you to do link building. SEO’s have a pretty bad rep these days, and people are always wary about whether they are getting a genuine SEO or just a ‘rip off cowboy’. The guy that you helped will prob recommend you as a genuine and helpful SEO who isn’t just after a quick buck to every person he meets who needs SEO for many years to come. So… I’m guessing that the lifetime value of being nice and helping that guy is far higher than you ever would have charged for his link building :) You missed 1 thing from that story .

Sort of, you’ve heard everything on that list separately a million times before, but until you see it written down all together you never actually think to yourself ‘have I done all of those things’, and usually forget 1 or 2. The ‘do-follow’ blog commenting is an interesting one at the moment. It seems to be the current ‘hot topic’, which on the one hand is cool because it means all sorts of tools to help you find do-follow blogs etc are popping up, but on the downside it does mean that it will soon be abused (as every seo techniques seems to end up) and then be devalued by the search engines.

Plus blogs allow for a community where static sites do not invoke user involvement. I love using blogs as most importantly it allows for continuing growth and search engines love blogs.

]]> Comment on LinkedIn for SEO by Lunarpages Secret Revealed http://www.seo-writer.com/blog/2008/05/23/linkedin-for-seo/#comment-17711 Lunarpages Secret Revealed Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:36:01 +0000 http://www.seo-writer.com/blog/2008/05/23/linkedin-for-seo/#comment-17711 I think LinkedIn is more to reputation optimization - especially you’re offering online services. Can’t imagine the impact on SEO as I see the link has little or nearly no link juice at all. I think LinkedIn is more to reputation optimization - especially you’re offering online services.
