When I started my career in SEO, I had to do it all, from fixing code issues to running PPC campaigns, all while building links, writing content, and using analytics. I’m like a grumpy senior citizen who had to walk to school uphill both ways in the sleet, dodging bullets. These days, we’re seeing loads of niche SEOs who just do one bit mainly…and link builders have emerged as one of the most visible groups.

When I started writing my blog I reaaly tried to focus on SEO rules. You know all those keywords etc. And once when I talked to an online tech store CEO about i, he said I did not have a chance to become popular on the internet using just SEO techniques. There is simple to stiff competiton.Now I do no look if my post include vital keywords etc. I just write the way I feel and the way I can and now I actually see a traffic boost on my blog. And I enjoy more in writing. [Removed link drop - Jill]

But wait, if I follow recent comments here at Sphinn, the items you’ve got listed there may not be considered SEO. That would probably be Web Developer stuff that is technical and not SEO related. Just saying. :)

"That would probably be Web Developer stuff that is technical and not SEO related."Aw jeez will ya drop it already? You must be baiting people to post more on Sphinn because you feel like you’re talking to yourself over here:DPlus Julie didn’t say "You’re not a link builder unless you know all HTTP status codes by heart!" then went on to talk about 413s. Then some SEO hack would have dropped by and said "so if I don’t know about the Request Entity too Large code I’m not a link builder, even though I got a link from WSJ and Perezhilton to my client’s celeb vblog?"An SEO-illiterate HTML 4 expert can give proper HTML markup recommendations in hir sleep. 301 redirects? Now why do we set up 301s for duplicate content? To comply with W3C specifications? To help people not get lost? To send out a .3 points extra quality signal?We set up 301s to consolidate PageRank when links point to urls that contain duplicate content. PageRank consolidation - now tell me how that’s not SEO related.
