An excellent article has been found on Search Engine Journal about what you need to do to be a SEO darling.   I personally thought a lot of the tips were very good and very practical.    However, as usual with pages like this, the comments have to be seen to be believed.    Some of the commenters poured scorn on Mr Price’s assertion that you need to make friends with the power players in the SEO business.    One in particular, Doug Heil, really went overboard (he must have too much time on his hands) saying stuff like “why <do> you believe it’s important for “other” peers to like you? I personally do not care if other SEO’s like me or not. Why is this important?”.    He then went on to post “you can de-link it if you wish as long as you show the url. I’m not one of those who gives two shites about a silly link.”

What a nice man (NOT!).

It finally got to the point where the Search Engine Journal editor had to step in.

This just goes to show that some people can be extremely mouthy when they are hiding behind the relative anonymity of a keyboard.    I wonder if Mr Heil would be so vocally assertive in person?

I personally found the article great.    I am already trying out some of the suggestions.
