I also have sites with little content and a lot of link building that are doing great for SEO. Right now link building is much better for SEO. My link building sites would destroy a content site for SEO any day. Hey, dcristo, what makes you say "The days of link building for "SEO" are gone."?
All we need to follow Webmaster Guidelines and to think in a natural way how can we stay at the top of search engines.
