I agree that links should ideally drive traffic, but just because they don’t doesn’t implicitly take away from their value. It must be nice to work on projects where you can afford to think so narrowly. If a link never brings a site traffic, but lays the foundation for targeted search engine traffic, how can you say it isn’t quality? Granted, most of the time a link on a relevant, authority domain is going to bring you traffic anyway, but if it doesn’t, it’s not crap.I don’t even see how it could be crap to begin with?You’re not seeing the forest through the trees. A link that never drives traffic but builds a foundation upon which targeted traffic is driven can’t be considered crap. That comment should be stricken from the record.
This is a terrible article. A good sphinn, but a terrible article. Brain Fart? This is like explosive brain diarrhea. His arguement is basically the same as telling a PR practioner "well most people know how to write a press release, so there really isn’t any need for PR firms." Sorry BBD&O - time to pack it in. This is so getting blogged tonight. Watch your back J-Neil.

I want to know how he find the editors for his first link building tactic, what kind of site to look for. Is he submitting to blogs? Ezines? Small sites that could benefit from his articles? This could make for an interesting follow-up
The first thing I address on an e-commerce site(though the previous mentions are also very important) is the uniqueness of each page. So many sites either don’t have the ability for each page to contain unique title tags or they have just neglected to do it altogether. make the page titles and descriptions unique. That is step one for me.
I just looked over a good deal of the content on Gooruze. I’m not feeling it. The quality is poor. I didn’t see anything that I haven’t read somewhere else before. I don’t see what the big deal is.Maybe it’s too young.
This is the perfect article for any PR 2.0 or PR SEO getting started. I really enjoyed it.
I’m going to use this series of points as a pick-up line next time a foxy lady asks me what I do at bar. Wow. Sound SEM AND dating advice. What a post.
