Comment on The Right Way to Build Inbound Links by Dave

You are 100% correct Kieron. The main reason I wrote this is to point out the basics of link building to those who are just getting started in SEO and to let them know links will come if the content and/or the product is link-worthy. Thanks for the comment.

I think the importance of link building is definitely underestimated by some people, and even some companies (without naming any names).

Good basics article.

Comment on Where to Find Quality in SEO…or Anywhere by Dave

You got it Steve! Years ago I had an engineer working for me and no matter what the customer ordered he always insisted on building what he thought was quality. We eventually had to fire him because he made so many customers angry delivering something different than what they had asked for and then trying to convince them how much better his design was than what they had “ordered”. We as providers have the responsibility to fully inform clients (in writing in some cases depending on liability issues) about what their options are and what the consequences may be of their decisions. After that – it is their hard earned money and they should be allowed to spend it on whatever they want. If they want a purple Cadillac with bright green interior – give it to ‘em. Beauty – and quality – are in the eye of the beholder

Interesting. I think the message isn’t specifically about clients and customers, but rather it’s the audience that defines if you’ve achieved quality. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder sort of thing.

It also implies that a thing could be both quality and not quality depending on who’s judging.

Comment on Why Natural Links are almost always better than Exchanged Links by Dave

You’re so right Steve. I have so often found that those who focus on PR are typically narrowly focusing in on one or two major keywords rather than the hundreds or even thousands of smaller keyword phrases that bring in so much more traffic to most sites. Thanks for commenting. I always enjoy your thoughts and your blog.

Hopefully people will read your post and understand the difference between artifical metrics like PR and real targeted traffic. A lot of people seem to focus all their efforts on something like PR as though it’s the end all and be all of a successful site. Better to see the bigger picture and understand that PR is one factor among many. Sure I’d rather my site show a PR 6 than a PR 2, but neither really matters much in the big picture.

Great post. Gets back to basics. So often we (me) get mixed up in the latest craze for building up search engine rankings. This post takes us back to what really matters. Thanks for the reiteration of what’s important!
