SEO - More Misinformation than Anywhere in Business
You really have got to watch out. There is so much rubbish spoken about SEO, it's not even funny.
Because it is almost impossible to test what someone says (well you can test, but an experiment or test of an SEO theory takes days or weeks and many many hours).
So people can spout a load of rubbish, and people believe them because they speak with authority, but it is sometime totally misleading or downright wrong information.
And you'll never know until you spend hours of your time trying to implement their teaching and find it doesn't work.
Sound familiar?
SEO Tools and Software - Even More Misinformation?
The same thing goes for tools and software you buy. Sure, a piece of software may be awesome at doing X. Y and Z (in other words, whatever it says it does, but the million dollar question is...
...does doing X Y and Z actually push a site to the top of Google? Does it actually work?
And yet we need the tools and automation software provides to make efficient use of our time. Doing everything manually is terribly inefficient.
How I Really Messed Up
So What Should We Do?
Look for proof. Simple. I've said it before, and I'll say it a hundred times. Look for proof the vendor knows what he is talking about.
So a big JV approached a while ago to promote an SEO product of his. "Great" I said. "But your sales page has no proof - can you give me some of the medium-competition KW sites you've ranked that I can put in an email to my customers to prove your stuff works?"
Guess what? He couldn't give me any..
Now, the sales page is good. I'd have made a lot of money promoting that product. And I'd have secured a JV relationship (very valuable to my business) which in fact I have trashed!
But I won't do it to you - not unless there is proof you or I can see.
One Where there is Some Definite Proof - Follow It
Well, today, Tuesday afternoon at 12 Noon Eastern there is a product launching which you might like - and I'm told the sales page is packed with proof, not just from the product vendors, but also from their clients....
...site after site ranked on Page 1!
The offer is for a sophisticated backlinking software that automates your tasks and saves you literally hundreds of hours while propelling your sites to the top. Here's the Most Important Thing, Though...
It places your backlinks following best post-Panda/Penguin practices.
In fact the software owners just sent out the pdf I've attached - with a perfect run down on how to get your site to Page 1 efficiently.
It's the very best, up-to-date guide I've seen in years. In fact, the attached pdf alone is priceless, really.
