And they are talking like SEO experts..
I suspect that we are actually not talking to real people, but to sophisticated SPAM bots, who are spamming forums such as WPW with nonsense:
Objective: get real people to post sensible answers, and make the threads look genuine. |
I love a good debate... I actually hate WPW but I still love a good debate... if all anyone can do is sling mud when their opinions are challenged... they either don't wish to defend their position or they don't care that the readership is being misinformed... [we'll assumes I'm misleading the readership]...
Honestly, Dave is a good friend of mine, I've worked with him off & one since 2003... but I didn't make any claims here...
A couple of things I know to be absolutely true:
Don't accept anyones word at face value in
SEO... and as previously noted showing people your controlled, intended, and documented experiments are a means to establishing empirical evidence that speaks for itself... saying you did it is an unsubstantiated claim.
Can inbound links really hurt you?
NO!
Can you create a link manipulation pattern...
YOU BET!
Are those really the same thing?
No they aren't
Just getting inbounds links from outside your own network of sites and domain's that aren't involved in link schemes... will NEVER HARM...
Linking to yourself [your other sites] - you bet!
Links from link scheme sites - you bet!
But those are'n't the topic of this thread.
