<description><![CDATA[Mad Hat follows up his first post on the topic of Shoemoney vs. SEO with his second installment:*** Disclaimer: This post isn't supposed to be about anyone in particular. This post isn't about a post in particular. I may mention specific examples but I see this as an overall trend on &quot;A-list&quot; blogs and social media outlets. People keep interpreting these posts as an attack on a specific person when they're not meant to be. If you want me to write a post on why I think a certain blog mentioned is ridiculous then email me and I'll think about it. End of Disclaimer. ***This is not suitable for those that want to or tend to fly off the handle and is concerning the mob mentality in the SEO community.Although I DO NOT AGREE with his position in it's entirety, I think others might want to read it!<br/><br/>51 Vote(s) ]]></description>
