Came across a stupid article the other day where some guys was asking about secret seo strategies. Just ticked me off.
Too many people jump straight into black hat seo bro without understanding how to even do basic seo first.
I'm all for doing things black hat but not knowing the fundamentals and thinking you can toss any old links at your site is exactly why so many sites get trashed. Then these same people wonder why that happened.
Want my advice? Start here and learn how seo works at a basic level and then start getting into the black hat stuff.
