Emphasis mine: rumblepup:
Well, is that really true? If person A is more knowledgeable by virtue of his associations than person B then in fact he would be more informed. In the world of
seo where a person like myself possess what people like yourself would consider very little knowledge (yet still managed to climb atop the organics

) it's fair for one of the first questions for a noob, or anyone really, to ask in relation to advice given: "by who's authority do you speak"? "what study have you done and where are some citations to articles from industry leaders?" This is most needed in areas of speculation and inexact sciences....of which the world of
seo qualifies
Your desire to downplay your expertise in this area makes Dale Carnegie proud.
Btw, I caught the cough (or was that a wink?).. my name is in fact "Rick Anderson"
Life's too short to be anonymous.
Thanks for the help.
