People spend too much damn time trying to tweak, manipulate and trick search engine systems when it is clearly not needed. These same people also spend too much time spreading their propaganda throughout the Internet, which then leads other bloggers into doing the same stupid and shady things on their blog.
There are many times when I read posts from other blogs that cause me to bite my tongue. Most SEO, “Know It All“, idiot box bloggers are pretty ignorant, stubborn, set in their ways and really don’t know a damn thing about search engine optimization, nor are they effective with search engine marketing. *Remember, I said MOST and not ALL. Unfortunately, they are really a disease to the blogosphere.
SEO Bloggers who misguide the masses are a disease that spreads their funk all over the place causing the infected to stink and get eaten up with search engine cancer. This type of cancer is sometimes treatable, it really depends on how F.U.B.A.R your blog is after following the misleading advices of misguided SEO bloggers. This is a serious problem, otherwise I wouldn’t blog about it.
Are you going to trust a stranger to take your child? No! So why are there people trusting complete strangers with telling them how to run their blog?
Be careful who you trust as a blogging leader. For what its worth, most all of the popular SEO blogs I visit from time to time all have extremely low PageRank, their own articles don’t rank in the SERPs, they sponsor programs such as Text-Link-Ads and they have a huge chip on their shoulder about Google. Does this sound like someone you want to trust or even hire for help?

I just want your readers to know that I did not submit my footnote ad the way it is above (that’s not how I would have worded an ad - it sounds kind of stupid and I’m embarassed
). Thanks.

Hi Pat!
I waited for your email and never received it. The decision to post my daily article with or without the your footnote included was 50/50. I figured you’d get pissed if I didn’t include it or pissed if I made one up… either way, I knew I wouldn’t win. LOL
Now that I have your email, I have updated the footnote ad and also as I had mentioned in the email, I have extended this for three more posts.
Date/Time: 2-21-2008 14:47:06 Comment #11742
Pat, I thought that was a great ad until you told me it wasn’t.

I think she is trying to get her $10 bucks worth… None of the comments are about my post that offers insight on steering clear of shady SEO Blogs… It’s now all about Pat!

You got to love advertisng Gary. Its good that you sold a $10 spot instead of a $100 spot. SHe might have come to your office with a gun.
Date/Time: 2-21-2008 15:19:26 Comment #11748
Ok ok ok… lets get it out of our system… LOL @ me… LOL @ Pat… etc…
It’s all done… fixed… corrected… I doubt she would gun me down… she had a valid point.
Even though the original footnote ad was an excerpt from her about me page…

Hi Garry, thanks for putting things right, and for running my ad for longer.
No hard feelings. I don’t know why you didn’t get my email, since I sent it right after I paid by paypal - but all’s well that ends well.

Thanks Garry. I am beginning to understand this more and more.
To be honest, right now SEO optimization is on hold for me. I have installed the SEO Wordpress plug in and that is good enough for the moment.
However I am getting closer and closer to purchasing your recommended Micro Niche Finder to, one: find ideas for random articles and, two: help me with my new projects.
You and David are probably the most trustworthy bloggers I have come across.

@ Pat,
LOL!!! I think our secret marketing tactic worked…
@ Forest,
When it comes time to make that purchase, drop a visit thru my referral at http://www.garryconn.com/mnf
It’s a wonderful program and I wouldn’t’ recommend it publicly if I didn’t stand behind it.

Hello Garry and Readers,
thanks for your post, it is a fresh breath in this messed SEO field.
With my newest blog (as you may remember, written entirely in italian language) i am focusing my efforts only on writing good and useful contents, i hope this strategy it will pay, on the long run, in terms of traffic
I would like to know your opinions about one thing:
To be completely honest, i could write on a huge number of different topics, and that’s for many reasons: italian market is pretty ‘new’, and also i can cover many and many arguments about information technologies, web design, web hosting, and so on…. (eheh i waited so long before starting bloggin and now i’d have so many things to blog on
Seriously: would you make some kind of a PLAN for your website, just to focus on a very targeted niche? Or would you start by covering as many topics as you’d like, to offer to your visitors a wide range of topics?
Thanks, Nicola

thanks for the information, it is always better to keep your whitehat on..

The ultimate Wordpress SEO plugin is a scam! It was made to hold all of the other blogs down and let the creator climb to the top of the SERPS.
All jokes aside,
you can trick the search engines but is it sustainable? I mean trying to get millions of pages indexed and hoping that you get some longtails is sort of stupid when you can write your own quality content that people will actually read.

Wow! This is my read of the day
Keep up the good work!-Mike
- Don’t do this anymore Mike… it pisses me off and don’t contribute anything, thanks! G

Mike,
Stop coming here and saying that. You have pissed off John Chow, ShoeMoney and now you’re pissing me off. The two of them and now myself have addressed this with you.
Seriously, if you don’t have anything to contribute, then don’t say anything at all. Don’t ride my coat tails…. if you want traffic, contribute something that makes my readers say, “wow” and then they’ll visit you.
If you keep this up, I’ll prevent you from commenting, which will then remove your ability to contribute anything if you so feel compelled to in the future. You have a very nice blog and have captured quite a bit of attention because you have emailed people like me, asking for help you get far.
I played a part in getting your blog where it is at today. If you think differently, then you need to pinch yourself…. and if you think that I am going to continue to associate with another blogger who spreads the same stupid comment through out the blogospere in a weak ass attempt to get traffic, you’re wrong.
Play the blogging game the right way… work you ass off and be somebody. Don’t be a moocher and I would TOTALLY advice not to mooch off me because I’ll put you in your place in a New York minute.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one pissed off at Mike for spamming me time and again. He’s definitely taken the wrong route, even stooping as low as changing his business card from a picture of him and his wife to a scantily clad chick in santa clothes!
Too bad, he had lots of promise but now he has a huge community just pissed off at him. As for the SEO stuff you mention in this post, my goodness it is long overdue. There are far far far too many SEO pretenders and then there’s every other blog parroting and spreading the misinformation. What get’s my goat is when people write to me giving me advice about Google PR stuff.
I wish there was a community of legitimate SEO’s … I can’t believe I’m saying this, but some form of certification, even if its informal.

We all make mistakes… Mike has always been nice to me. Always! He, just like many, can get misguided with all the propaganda that gets pumped into the sphere… He is still cool in my book and I only hope that he understands the value of my correction and teaching. If so, then he’ll rebound very quickly and continue down his path.
It’s all about learning… and the largest part of learning is in making mistakes. It is always better to witness other’s mistakes and learn than to make them yourself. But the ones that you make yourself and learn from usually soak into your heart much deeper. Which means you learn more.
Mike wants what every blogger wants… exposure, recognition, fame, money, etc… But sometimes we just get a little misguided along the way. I think this can be a seriously huge learning experience for tons of new bloggers reading this thread.
