GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 5:57 pmSuppose it depends if you want to be good at your job or just try to create shortcuts. If you need to game the system to rank it stands to reason that your site’s shit so there’s no point in ranking in the firstplace.

GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 6:05 pmIt used to be that you could trick search engines. Now it’s about helping search engines so they can crawl and index better.

GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 6:40 pmI don’t disagree, but I was hoping for more substance – a link or something.

GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 7:16 pmIf you’re a wizard with words, and have good connections for the link building, I think this can suit you well.
But if you’re making great Web 2.0 tools, like games, it will be very challenging to rank.
Then it will be the marketing strength that matters. Which seems counterintuitive, since most people prefer a great game without a marketing machine, long before an average game backed by growth hackers.

Follow the rules in SEO and you’ll be successful. It’s just that simple.

GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 7:54 pmWell, there are still ways to do it. But if you’re in this for the long haul, for sure you’ve gotta play by the rules. But this has been true always. I’m not sure 2021 is much different from 2011 in this regard
Just my 2 cents tho

GuestSeptember 17, 2021 at 11:03 pm…playing by the rules has always been (at least in the 10 years I’ve been doing this) always been the better solution over any sort of time frame.
So.…yes.
