Exactly! You don't care! Dell got ranked for years and years of content development and millions of dollars spent in brand development and advertising. They have thousands of affiliated service centers, support centers, corporate partnerships -- they give donations to schools (computers)and are acknowledged for their givings - where do you suggest readers get these links if they're not Dell?
As a matter of "linking" your answer removes the fundamental reason why others would want to link - content! |
Fathom, this may come as a shock to you, but the
reason I don't care is because Google doesn't care.
HostDepartment has top ten for reseller hosting, website hosting, and top twenty for "web hosting" because of links. See that I said "links". I didn't say "organic links". I didn't say "bought links". You know why I don't differentiate? Because it doesn't make one iota of difference!
You're living in a dream world. "Add content and you'll naturally go to the top." Hogwash! That's 100% bs from the word go.
It's an excuse
SEO's tell their clients when they fail to get them rankings.
SEOInc.com is top ten for "search engine optimization" because of links. Not because of content. Dell.com is top ten for "computer" because of links. Not because of content.
Google's algo is a simple mathematical calculation that doesn't consider TV advertisements. It doesn't consider brand. It looks at off page elements, and on page elements, makes a calculation and renders a decision.
