Warmest Greetings,
:: Friday, September 13, 2002 ::
Oh goodie! I got to rant today.
Quote from the Cre8asite Forum:
"SEO is very simple these days."
My response:
"I think it always was. It was SPAM (SEO techniques that tried to fool engines) that made it difficult, followed by the greed that fueled SEO scams.
I don't like to remember all the times I was threatened with lawsuits by SEO scam companies because I spoke out publically against them. I wrote an article about SEO scams back in 1998 that still exists on my site (hasn't been looked at for awhile. Still has an old font on it even. Likely needs some updating... http://www.cre8pc.com/whim.html) that users loved, but ticked off those who ran so-called free submission tools, especially my recommendation that they supply the list of every place a web site is submitted to so the web site owner could approve or disapprove (i.e. have a choice). I was once attacked so severely for this I took my entire web site down and seriously considered retiring from SEO altogether.
What's so simple is being honest in your work, learning the skills, applying them with integrity, and thinking of your users at all times. The engines are an advertising outlet - same as a magazine, newspaper, TV, radio. They are a tool. They're not the only one available for web sites. A simple business card with a URL is a tool.
