In Danny Sullivan's final post to SearchEngineWatch readers before heading to his new digs at Search Engine Land, Danny wrote... “Information posted as part of my web development work in 1996 expanded and relaunched as Search Engine Watch on June 9, 1997.

In an article titled "Make Links Work for You—Carefully", By Brian Quinton " in Multichannel Merchant, Brian writes... “To some SEOs and Webmasters, there is no “wrong” way, of course; whatever brings people to your site and visibility to your page is worth trying. But search marketing consultant Eric Ward doesn’t agree. Ward specializes in consulting on link-building and link campaigns, and he says the pursuit of a quick ranking or traffic hit comes with the risk of a long, slow, painful penalty from the search engines if you get caught.” |
