#Otable #ethics #linkbuilding

Why I don't "do" SEO

I have to say that I've always been unattracted to link planting for a variety of reasons, and it is one of the reasons that I refuse to use SEO expertise in any of my self descriptive offerings when I consult. I definitely do all kinds of page SEO, and research competitors, all the things that make PPC run, but the link building aspect of it is really core to SEO proper, and I have had almost zero interest in these petitioning, (seemingly) often deceptive processes. I never really thought about it a lot, I just educated myself on as much SEO as I could so I can help clients in a peripheral - you really should look at this - way, but steered clear of that kind of work. It was AdWords and Social Media strategy for me, with SEO bleedover.
