This was a actually fantastic post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and genuine effort to make a good post… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something carried out.dvd to ipad converter.

If there are sites like that then are they making sense? whats the purpose of doing so? if nothing to be seen any content in their site then whats the sense of making one? where the money comes?

I can see that you used ‘nofollow’ on your links to these sites… So I guess they didn’t get even that.

In regards to the comments on scraping, many low quality blogs use original content, they just pay writers about $3 an article for them, you can see the “job offers” all over the net. At least they have content, I have seen some blogs and forums that are just full of linked keywords, I call it link dumping, it happens a lot. But if you are trying to run a business that is going to be around a while it just makes you look bad in the long run.

As mentioned though, since the site offers nothing for real visitors you may get an initial boost from SEs by having links in, but if they are not used often, the benefits will taper off.

Who's attacking anyone? I never said I thought what Vizad was doing was bad, I simply put forth the opinion that content can be developed in a better way. As for not believing the website was written by a real girl, I've always had trouble with women. I didn't even kiss a girl until I was 22. My mistake, madam, I apologize. But ok, you forced me to it.

I don’t see how those blogs are any different than what you’ve been doing for years, Josh. There may be a difference in quality of writing or topic choices, but it’s all pretty much the same thing. It might not be the most effective, but is it black hat? No. I don’t even think your unrelated links on the skateboard site are blackhat, but they do make me wonder how you can criticize these other blogs and Vizad so easily…

Oh, and btw – you really really screwed up by including SEOgurl in your attack. Obviously, she is a girl, and she is a real person (with feelings).

Hey Josh – thanks for the feedback. I agree – specialized, niche sites are the most effective marketing tools.

Hopefully I can at least dispel one myth for you – I am, in fact, a girl.
