Thanks for that info Cranky Dave. I absolutely agree with you. The main purpose should be to contribute and interact with a given community.
But, to be pragmatic, I also have to think about
SEO.
Not to get off the subject, but it's so funny. I'm not supposed to be posting in forums for
seo. I'm not supposed to be linking for
seo. I'm not supposed to be writing with too many keywords for
seo, etc. I wish I didn't have to do these things, but if I don't I'm going to get killed in the SERP's by my competitors who are doing these things.
Anyway, thanks again CrankyDave, I always appreciate your effort. You always have an interesting and valuable perspective, as well.
