Perhaps the SEO people as a whole should appreciate the reputation that they are creating for themselves and
I can assure you I will not submit to censorship and WILL say exactly what I think.
you have the gall to tell me not to worry.
3 very good points:
a. There is no such thing as seo people as a whole. I have no relationship, unless we go back dozens of generations, with any of these 'SEO people'. Perhaps my relatives a few hundred years ago did defile some women-folk in England-shire and now their progeny have become minions of, or practitioners of, some dark SEO arts, but that's unlikely the case. Instead, what appears to be happening, is the applying tar to the masses based upon the brush of the few - aka logical fallacy known as
hasty generalisation.
b. I'm a big believer in free speech. I have no interest in stopping someone, unless they're yelling, "Fire!" in a busy auditorium (where there isn't fire), or similar. Just thought I'd impart some friendly advice to prevent you from suffering further cranial rectal insertion disorder, and requiring help in removing it, or someone's backlink boot.
I think Mark Twain once said:
☼ It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than open ones mouth and remove all doubt ☼
Not that it applies in this situation, but for some reason it just lit up some neurons - must be the silence thing, I dunno.
c. I'm sorry if I told you not to worry. °°°I don't think I said that°°° But if I did, then I'd like to retract that statement.
To the extent that you continue to say exactly what you think, I'd like to further retract that, and accept that worrying may indeed have become the most prudent course of action¡¡¡
If someone can do the work of 4 people x 5 days x 8 hours per day and fit it into just 2 or 3 hours, then I'm okay with paying them £100 per hour

Then again if it's never delivered then the 4, 5, 8, 2 and 3 in the equation above become a divide by zero error. Have a beverage and see that there is no spoon.
