Comments on: Another Deleted Blog Post - Why blog on SEO? http://www.johnon.com/762/bloggin-on-seo.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere.... Sat, 25 May 2013 18:33:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.7 by: Bob http://www.johnon.com/762/bloggin-on-seo.html#comment-133194 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:12:21 +0000 http://www.johnon.com/762/bloggin-on-seo.html#comment-133194 I'm way late to the party on this, but I agree 100% with what Aaron said. I would add that being right (or accurate) is a virtue. Publishing knowledge isnt a bad thing as long as it doesnt work against you in a competitive manner. And with you, that shouldnt be a concern as no one who doesnt already possess your would be able to do so after reading those 800 words. What it will benefit is those who are looking for validation of their own theories, or help others recognize the crap that is published. If you are not looking for new biz, which posts like that would certainly help generate, then at least it provides a kind of baseline for those people to use when they consider hiring others. I hope you reconsider and rewrite it at some point in the future. I’m way late to the party on this, but I agree 100% with what Aaron said. I would add that being right (or accurate) is a virtue.

Get a domain (or 50) and play - then when you know what works and what doesnt build real value for yourself and your family Screw SEO - Screw making other people money - Test, try and push A friend tweeted this, SEO is a skillset that people need to learn for themselves - following and reading others is pointless.

Just because you thought as to why publish on SEO? John, there are reasons which I think for you should have posted. 1. Posts on SEO will definitely get readers/webmasters and etc. 2. Because of your post many reader like us could have learned something more about SEO as we all know that at least right now SEO has no end its path has variations, ways and methods new and old about which many are unaware. You should not think that your post is for gaining rankings, it actually makes those webmasters even to think who just shut off to expand over SEO. At least you should not have deleted, it would have been better if you would have just saved it and not published. Hope you understand. Hey Johnon,

Why have you deleted it? Just because you thought as to why publish on SEO? John, there are reasons which I think for you should have posted.

You should not think that your post is for gaining rankings, it actually makes those webmasters even to think who just shut off to expand over SEO.

At least you should not have deleted, it would have been better if you would have just saved it and not published.

Hope you understand.

Thanks for being thought-provoking. Why publish on SEO: - To provide proof you know a lot about the subject - To actually educate people about the process - To publish on something intellectually stimulating and interesting for an audience to read about -- but less politically charged than, say, exposing the past decade of American wars as being founded and maintained on blatant lies in order to expand and preserve a global economic empire; or less personally exposing than something like a personal journal about your hopes, fears, dreams, and friends.

I'll use Google as a typical search engine but I'm sure the others have similar processes. Increasingly Google is ensuring that only websites that follow its guidelines have any chance of being visible in keyword searches. SEO that attempts to use some non-conforming gimicks will likely have a very short shelf-life. What counts in SEO is to ensure that you do not inadvertently create barriers to visibility either through site architecture or coding. Most of this is timeless advice so what is there to say that is new. You could of course write to correct the writings of others that are confused or just plain wrong. However what's the percentage in that? You’re right, John. I’ll use Google as a typical search engine but I’m sure the others have similar processes.
