There are so many SEO blogs out there and if you read them all, threw away the rubbish and picked up the best of everything out there you then might have a clue about what works in SEO land. But really we could fill this blog with all the standard stuff like get links, optimize your page, descriptions etc but we (and everyone else) are not going to put out our hot tips of what works today on an open blog. Even if you hire an SEO you are not necessarily going to learn all the tricks because you could then just do it yourself. Some places like SEO Book where you pay to be a member you will get 90% of the information you need, but let’s be honest if we knew that by getting a link with xyz text from xyz site was the secret ingredient, then everyone would go and get links from there and then 5 minutes later all the “bad areas” of the internet would have polluted the source and destroyed the value.
Why would we or anyone else give out that information on an open blog?
There are a lot of tips out there the building blocks and if you don't have those right then the secret sauce won’t help. That's where all those free guides do come in handy but they are all just a copy and paste of each. Maybe we should do it as well?
If you want to get to the top then you need to pay or work really really hard and have the ability to filter out the noise. You will also need to read the 100,000 SEO blogs and hope that by reading between the lines you can learn a secret or 2. Most blogs are writing to sell something and to stand out you need to say a bit more than your neighbor but you can’t give away the secrets – not that there are any anyway. Most blogs are still pushing ideas that don't work anymore. At least that's what we see from the comment spam we get!
Move on it is 2010.
