    Hi, some people talked that they know a lot of things about SEO. Even some people offered their service for thousand of dollars to companies which asking about SEO. But after I check some successful websites in their keywords, I think there is nothing special with their SEO. I mean, they usually depend a lot on link exchanges, paid links (non detectable), and their other sites. Some sites even got PR 5 although their back links are only from their other sites. You know what I mean, don't you? Create some sites, linking them each other. People get good rankings with this method. But I think it is not special.

    The other methods usually are paid links. We often saw this although Google is trying to kill these links. But paid links are keep involving, try to hide as best as their can. Once again, people get good rankings because of these. The other, as we already know, is a very common link exchange (not link exchange in specific web page, but links web page). So I don't get it, why does people talk a lot of things about link buildings and SEO but actually, there is nothing special from it.

    I concur. SEO isn't magic -- it's just a lot of hard work. :)

    there's nothing great about it. but there are lot of people out there that don;t have a clue about SEO and think that they need "professional represantation" these are the people who these prof. seo people target and from what i see, they charge an arm and a leg. so some people are making a good living this way...

    There is alot more to SEO than just building links. Of course if you are new to SEO you will only see the basics on the surface.

    If someone do not know much about a particular topic He/she should not open her mouth.

    Saying SEO is useless and child play with hard work, is just like saying a 10 grade child who know a thing or two about web designing can work at Google and make it more effecicient.

    SEO is more than some On page optimization and Link buliding. It is a bunch of lot of things.

    1. Keyword research
    2. buliding keyword rich content
    3. working on long tail keyword phrases
    4. link building
    5. Reworking on web design to suit the SEs.

    6. Directories
    7. Meta tags or on pages
    8. Development of new content
    9. working on Inner pages and getting them index faster.
    10. Avoiding Sandbox and supplement SERPs.

    11. Managing client and their expectation
    12. Managing deadly uncertainty of what work what not.
    13.
    14.
    15.

    Anyone wanna add more? I am sure many of you will be adding more here as SEO means so much. And an experinced and smart SEO expert can work wonder for a website. There are many expert in this arena like Shoemoney, Corey Rudl( not anymore), JOhn Chow, John Reese who have learn the art of making a website gold producing within 2 to 3 months. But do not forget there was a big and heart breaking learning curve for them too.

    So do not say, it is hard work alone. Any fool can work her butts off. But so the 95% website owners do.

    Sorry If I had used some harsh word.
