Ripping into Those Who Practice Bad SEO!
I have had it with people who are obviously attempting to do the same sort of job we do here at DragonSearch with one huge exception; they really suck at it!
Badly Done SEO Morally Offends Me
Maybe I take it too personally, but I am not a marketer, nor a public relations guru, or an advertiser. I am a blogger, and before I was a blogger I was an internet message board junkie and forum addict. I don’t just need the internet for my job, I love the internet for the ability that it gives to people to find each other, connect and speak our truths. I believe in the higher power of the world wide web to really change the world.
Anyway, I had just about had enough with watching other people intent on some get rich scheme abuse the power of the web for their own crass causes. I will not sit by and allow them to go forth and commit mad acts of spam and not be held accountable for it. Every bad spammy comment on a blog makes it so much harder for anyone to trust our hand crafted relevant comments. Every link farm based blog wheel makes cheapens the connections of a real blog niche community. Every lousy blog pitch makes it so much harder to build a real connection and grow a relationship.
I Call Spam War!
Last week I emailed a music website to inform them that they have a lousy SEO campaign. If they are spending their budget making repetitive bad attempts at back linking a MP3 site to a wine review blog I manage, then it’s time to rethink because I deleted every one of those comments. They actually replied, but claimed that had no one doing SEO work. Really? Ok, then turn off your bots because they suck too. (more…)
