You can most definitely optimize a site's rankings without doing anything but building the backlink profile...and you can do it for competitive keywords. Period. Obviously it's not ideal and I'd consider it to be a rather incomplete SEO philosophy to practice regularly; but that doesn't change the fact that it works.

If I'd just received the same email Shoe did...I'd be pissed enough to write a snarky post, too. I mean, who was that clown?
How about Dallas, TX??? It centrally located....beautiful weather (except August)....plenty of space....
COME ON Y'ALL!!
Story: Link Buying Poll
Donna, I'm sad that you won't be at Pubcon this year. :(
Great poll idea...I voted and I'll be anxious to see the results. So far, it's just as I'd expect; people would still buy but for a much lower price. Even if links didn't pass juice, though, there are tons of creative things you can do with them so long as the spiders follow them. They are, after all, the roadways of the web!
That's right...he did. Maybe between SEOmoz's VC money and Danny's infinite connections and inevitable wealth they could pull this thing off. Let's be honest....he'd have the SEO/SEM community behind him!
"Black hat" and "white hat" is so damn stupid in the first place. Everyone is doing the same freakin' thing...manipulating search results. Corruption, good vs. evil, call it what you will....but it's always been everywhere...in every industry.
Can't we end our SEO Civil War yet??

Shimon Sandler got a Google lego set in the mail...pretty crafty shwag.
David, I love your site and I'm sorry to hear about the rankings, bro. Coming from someone who knows this game very well, I would have to seriously doubt that selling 4 links is the reason for your slip.
Sounds great....I'd love to meet some Sphinners. (Why do I feel so dirty when I say that? Like it's going to be some Eyes Wide Shut deal or something??)
Why would Google create an online music store of it's own when they can just eventually buy these guys....which seems to make sense considering all of the recent buying they've done.
And if you're gBox, I have to think that's been the plan all along. Is there any coincidence that this company named itself gBox to begin with? It's kinda genius, right? Create a company that sounds Google-esque with a business model that plugs a hole in the Google dike. Smart.
that's interesting. google visits our sites several times daily and I'm still seeing this: "as retrieved on 31 Jul 2007 20:04:51 GMT."
What's really interesting is that Google now owns at least one company with SEO consulting capabilities...
Donna, we are rock stars! That's why I completely destroyed our hotel room after Danny blew me off. ;) Are we going to see you again in Vegas this year???
Tamar, I remember reading that thread. I'd like to see an updated version that contains no actual facts.
