Outsourcing SEO to India – Dumbass 101

By Alysson

Sit In The Corner, Dumbass

Let the rant commence! I know...shocking, right? While the title pretty much sums up my feelings on the issue, with the number of ridiculous link exchange requests I get, I figured it was time I officially out this nonsense as the douchebaggary it is. As any professional link builder will tell you, HOW you request a link is an exercise in the art of persuasion.

Charles Preston’s Verified SEO = Verifiable Failure

By Alysson

A new "service" marketed as Verified SEO has been making waves throughout the SEO/SEM industry today.

Search Engine Submissions Are A SCAM

By Alysson

I constantly come across advertisements for "SEO companies" (and I use that term loosely) that tout the features and benefits of choosing them for all of your search engine optimization and search marketing needs.  Website promotion through search engine submissions is SEO circa 1998. Yet, the marketing materials for these companies inevitably include within their bullet point lists of "features and benefits" submitting your website "to hundreds of search engines...".  … [Read more...]
