Accidental SEO
Apr 10, 2007 Michael BritoI own/maintain several websites dating back to 8 years or so. With some of my sites, like this one, I daily monitor my web stats (unique visitors, referring domains, etc.) I’m obsessed with data! With some of my other sites, I rarely, if ever, look at the actual web site much less the stats. However, the other day when I was bored, I decided to check out the stats of one of my sites that’s about 5 years old and I was blown away when I saw the results.
I remember when I first launched these sites, I optimized the meta tags (well, I actually spammed the heck out of the them, and haven’t changed them since); and I HAVE NOT engaged in any link building activity whatsoever. Google and Yahoo referrals accounted for about 75% of the above visitors.
The conclusion is simple. Aggressive link building and fresh content is not necessary to achieve great search results; however, that’s not to say I have no back links because I do, but they were strictly natural. Of course, the caveat is 5 years of waiting for these results.

Hi there,
That's pretty darn awesome. I am in the internet marketing business as well and I found the place where all of the gurus go for their personal marketing needs, in order to get the massive exposure to sell you and me some crappy little product or service that claims to be the cure-all of the century... lol, yet they are using someone else's software to promote that offer.
Click the link below and see for yourself the very tools that the internet elite are using::
