90% Of The SEO Advice On DP Is A Joke

Before you make those "poweful" statements, please send a link on which advice you don't agree upon....

 

Why should I? I think the point was made just fine. "Be careful about taking free advice. Use your brain. Figure out who you can/ should listen to and who you can't/ shouldn't listen to."

 

Then again, maybe you are right about everything and I am not. Or maybe I am right about half and you the other half. Some poor soul will assume that one of us is the guru and go with what we say. Hopefully they pick you! lol

 

Well, you don' expect some SEO guru to reply in your threads, providing help for free don't you?
The good SEO strategies will be kept privately to avoid competition, etc.

 

Great read. Indeed, most of the seo gurus are novice and they think they know everything about google, pagerank, keywords etc. Search them, and nothing comes up. The only true advice I ever got on dp is from my own head!

 

It's not just the SEO advice that is a joke. It's a number of aspects of the board IMO. See my thread in General Chat here where I make a number of points relating to the state of DP...

 

I get a kick out of some of the "pros" here. I remember once that there was a guy offering to perfect the seo of your site for a healthy free. He hooked people here by giving a free initial review of their site. But when you went to the pro's site to read up on him, it was a piece of crap that was a few months old with only a couple of pages indexed. lol A lot of the "pros" here are going to their high school classes at day in Delhi and taking on seo clients at night on DP.

Challenge to all--- Take anything that is accepted by virtually every seo person here and challenge it. Ask yourself, 'Why does everyone believe this?" You may be surprised to find out that in many cases the accepted version of something is 100% wrong. There is a lot of sheep following other sheep here.

 

Nice article, Rep.

 

Well, here is what I think on this.

I've been working with SEO since 1999. I'm more than happy to help, as long as I get real questions. Not only questions like: Hi guys please help me with my site.... bla bla bla bla..... do you really think other people or in this case I'm going to help??? nah. Thats called free lunch.... I can make money helping my clients, while charging them 250-500 USD per hour or I can try explaining thing for free.... We all know, there is no such thing as free lunch.

 

I can respect that. I really can. If I had a golden ticket, I wouldn't be too quick to give it to you either. I may flash it at you every now and then, but I sure as hell wouldn't be giving it away.

Do you really charge $250-$500 per hour? Really?? Good Lord! My profession allows me to charge a nice sum, but nowhere near that. Why in the heck would someone pay you that much???

 

You come on DP because you are to cheap to pay a professional (which I am) and then you bitch because the free advice didn't work... Wow...

There is a lot of information on any forum that is questionable, at best, but it's free. We all have different motivations for responding. I do it because I like to help, but SEO is may bread and butter, so I limit the scope of my answers, Others comment just to acquire links, and that's not a bad thing, some are here just to promote themselves, and if done right that's not a bad thing either.

As for the Guru part... Well, I have not seen where anyone claimed to be a guru... I'm very good at Geo-targeted SEO, but I don't work on e-commerce or with national players. So by no means am I a Guru.

I believe that you show a lack of character when you diss people who have given freely to you. Why don't you take some individual responsibility here. You should never blindly take advice here or anywhere before you use due diligence and make certain that it is valid.

People like you, that blame others, for your own failures never stop amazing me. You people never slow down long enough to see how foolish your actions are.

 

Not to mention that some people are lazy to even search in Google before asking what a backlinks is

 

Nice attack. +1

 

My search engine optimization blog is new, though on the back of my website it gets indexed in minutes when I post to it. Well I think your post is very good and perhaps I gave you a little injustice earlier (mmhh) so I have written a quick too liner to add to your links. First time I have done this from here!

 

Thank you sir.

I understand your initial reaction. A lot of people post crap here to try to sell them something (usually just a scam/ rip off). I will assure you that I'm not.

I'll check your blog out. Thanks for the link love.

 

Well I am off to bed but like I said, my blog gets indexed in minutes I made $100000 Online number one in UK in minutes! Though not posted for that and 5th Google UK Worldwide Search

 

Such sites or S/w are just a waste.

 

Which sites are these? By the way just looked at the HTML of your site, I think you need help what a description, wait it is a set of keywords, nope description!! I am confused, how do you think Google will be?

 

I am afraid I have to disagree. 90% is not remotely accurate. I also find digg to be a great way to get quality backlinks.
