top 5 seo blogs everyone has known about for years and already reads. not useful.

another whiney rant. if sphinn makes you quit your blog then you probably shouldnt have been blogging.

if I were the admins I would delete this. its been done before and theres no value for search marketers here.

Imo, thats a search engine issue, not a marketing issue. Hell, as someone whos spent some time on the paid side of the fence Id say great, crappy natural results just help the folks playing the paid space.If Googles search results become garbage, no one will be using it, so you wont make much money in ppc. The irony is that SEOs will be responsible for destroying their own livelihood, and a valuable tool (for everyone) as well.

When you promote websites with tactics that pollute the web with spammy nonsense, bogus connections and poor content, youre pissing in your own cornflakes and destroying something valuable that other people worked to create. Whether you want to call it black hat or a risk-asessed strategy, the result is the same: junk search results no one will want to use.
from DarkMatter 1178 Days ago#
Obviously you shouldnt spend money creating content if it isnt profitable. But if every SEO starts using black hat, search results are going to look like crap and people will stop using Google.My income is secure, Im doing fine for myself and I choose to create rather than destroy.John seems to have a great deal of contempt for his fellow seos both in his posts and his comments here. Theres a constant implication that anyone who does not agree with him or do as he does is lazy or stupid. Tiresome and immature, imho.

everything I can see tells me that the SEO industry is growing rapidly while other sectors are shrinking.

Though its somewhat irrelevant, Im curious as to why a famous soccer player would want ALL of his related search results (including his own website, if he has one) to be censored. I can understand censoring BAD press...but all press?

interesting but well have to wait and see what the quality of the blogs will be. I can already get reviews on any joe six-packs blog.

is there any evidence that this "bias" is influencing search results? Does choosing a presidential candidate make Google somehow less trustworthy or technologically innovative? it might not be the wisest choice hes ever made, but I dont see any problem with an american citizen supporting a presidential candidate publicly. the problem is the atmosphere of antagonism and "them vs us" that is prevailing in American politics today. I suspect that the writer of this article may be influenced by bias himself.
Story: Take The Google Challenge

its great to know that a site is getting a decent bang for the buck out of Google, but Ive been focusing on building more "defensible" traffic lately. Its a little scary to have most of my conversions coming from a source that could vanish overnight!

If you are worried that you are not doing "seo" in the spirit of Googles guidelines, then by all means be afraid. Be very afraid. Regardless of anything Rand or anybody else writes, you will eventually be found out and you will pay the price. nonsense. the only reason google urges people to report sites is because they have a very hard time detecting them algorithmically (except for extreme cases). if youre careful, you wont get caught. and if you are a large brand within your space you can break Googles rules all you want.if every webmaster reports sites that they think should not be ranking, Google will get so overwhelmed with nonsense reports they will be even less effective at knocking out real spam sites. I think Rands article falls into this category. These people havent broken any rules, the only "mistake" they made was outranking Moz.

There are a handful of seo bloggers who post top notch stuff, but I dont read them much due to horrible spelling and punctuation. I dont mind the occasional error, but some bloggers omit commas and even periods. Makes for some very annoying re-reading.Im not asking for perfection, just legibility.
