Hi Guys, I wanted to find out what would happen if I created a website and followed the Google Webmaster Guidelines to the letter. According to Google if you create a backlink that violates their guidelines whether thats a guest post or a comment, creating a single backlink violates the webmaster guidelines period. So what happens if you just create high quality content and forget about link building? Find out - http://www.matthewwoodward.co.uk/experiments/google-webmaster-guidelines-experiment/
HINT: Do a google search for 'tiered link building' and look how many results in the top 50 are mine You will fall of your chair when you see this, guaranteed.
Another interesting observation, I'm ranking #11 for 'Buy SEO' in the UK Not sure how that happened, wasnt even trying ^^
