The risk with oversimplified SEO
SEO is a really complex concept. At least if you are planning seo forlong term success. However human mind has a tendency of simplifying things as much as possible. Probably that explains our obsession with the concept of pagerank. All that we have to keep moitoring a little green bar to know how successful our SEO efforts have been. I wish it was that simple, but unfortunately it is not.I shall not be worried, if such partial knowledge about SEO resulted in wastage of time alone. The problem is it puts your blog/website at the risk of being penalized.
For example take the case of link building. Backlinks are the single most important factor in deciding your ranking on Google. So everyone advises you about building links to your blog. Nothing wrong with that. The problem is when someone makes you believe that building links as fast as possible will get you results fast.
If that is the only seo post that you read before you start getting links for your blog, you are in trouble. You need to learn about anchor text diversity, speed of link acquisition, problem with link exchange and circular link exchange, issue with domains on the same server, site-wide links issue etc. The question is are you ready to commit that much of time to understand so many concepts or do you want to go commenting on dofollow blogs?
BTW, if you happen to be an electronics engineer, I will like your views on my post about the difference between intel core2 duo and intel dual core processors.
