![]() ![]() Google guidelines aren’t the #1 concern to clients that pay us to do this type of work. I’ve made my money by working with clients, and analyzing a bunch of data, trying new things, doing case studies, seeing what works and what doesn’t, tracking 1,000 different SERPs for different keywords, industries and locations.īut by all means… keep on sharing your theories of what works, then chime in on each others posts, saying how “remarkable” their content is, and how much you agree with their “cutting edge” ideas that have been around for 5 years now.įor those of us that actually do this type of work, theory doesn’t cut it. I’ve made my money by actually doing things. These people capitalize off of others that don’t know any better. It isn’t because they are legitimate experts in the field. It isn’t because of the quality of information. Why would this group of people want to bump shoulders with me? Actually, why would they bump shoulders with any of you either?Īfter all, their notoriety and authority is built on the information they share and promote for each other. Sorry for actually looking at evidence and data to form my opinions instead of following your idiotic cult of outdated ideas. SEO is not an art form… it’s more of a science. In fact, one of these cult members told me specifically that I would never be included in any top blog list, round up, or promotion by any of them because I disagree with them too often. ![]() You’re not getting imprisoned, or put to death for disagreeing but you are definitely shunned. This is what is going on in Local SEO circles. The earth was believed to be flat, and if you thought otherwise in some cases you would be imprisoned, punished, even put to death. Entire governments, countries, the whole world, has refused to challenge beliefs. This isn’t the first time in history people have been this way. Nobody is challenging the status quo whatsoever and it’s freakin annoying. They are king makers, because nobody is challenging them. Some of these people think of themselves as “king makers” when it comes to information and authority. It would be nice if the world was that way, but it isn’t. White hat isn’t bad, but most of their information is along the lines of the whitest, white hat you can find on earth, then bleaching it 100 times. When it comes to local SEO, the information you get is overwhelmingly white hat. Next, after they make sure they stay within Google guidelines and they don’t offend their buddy by giving legitimate advice, they regurgitate the same BS theories that have been told time and time again. The first thing they do before answering a question, is to make sure what they respond with, doesn’t conflict with Google guidelines, and doesn’t conflict with another one of their “expert” buddies. The biggest problem is that there’s a group of people, all patting each other on the back and convincing themselves they’re the industry’s authorities. I say problem in that heading, but realistically, there are many problems. Honestly, I don’t know if these people are just complete idiots, or just writing bullshit that sounds good because they think it helps them gain authority. ![]() I wasn’t even going to write a blog post today, but I’m so disgusted with some of the information being put out there, by so called “expert” sources, on high authority blogs via guest posts that I can’t ignore it like I usually do. Occasionally in a post, I’ll kind of go on a bit longer than I should about a specific thing, but I don’t consider that ranting. ![]()
