If there is one thing I’m sure of, it’s that SEO is not an exact science.
One of the main purposes of this blog is to serve as a repository of information that I learn and gather from the constant trial and error that this business requires. Today I’m toying with original content, for example. As fas as internet marketing goes, almost nothing beats it. What is difficult to quantify, however, is how its placement affects its potency. In regards to link value, how much better is an article that’s submitted to a site with relevant content than the same article submitted to a generic article submission site? Of course it’s better, but how much?
While I conduct an ongoing search for that answer (that I’ll be sure to chronicle), you can read a Jim Boykin rant that has to do (sometimes) with this subject.
P.S. The Link Ninja eats Link Monkeys for breakfast.
