  1. Haha. This is nice!
    Despite all the advices and discussions happening around, some people still believe in the myth on the effect of getting 10,000 links overnight. This can be seen through those on-going service to help website obtaining huge amount of links overnight.
    Perhaps the effect they are hoping is to get banned from search engine?

  3. I whole-heartily agree! Far too many people try to force the growth of their backlinks too rapidly and then wonder why they are treated like spammers. Organic growth is the best growth by far.
    Well said!

  4. I just found this post doing a serious search… Man, it’s very hilarious and I actually do agree. There’s too much focus on link building. Why not spend that energy on creating some quality content? Then the links will come naturally.
