      Exactly. Think of the implications of this:

      How many people relied a large percentage on BMR? (Seo'ers, gigs, Philippine outsourcers, affiliate marketers, etc).

      Sucks.

      Luckily I have been using heavy social media methods, and not any blog networks.

      I've never promoted anything on the forum, but I belong to a blog network for about 3 years that's served me very well. Not as easy to use as BMR but far more options. PM me if you want to check it out.

      Yeap.

      Oddly enough, a while back, I didn't go with BMR because it would take to much time via unique content. Then I found my outsourcer not long after that, and never relied on BMR.

      I was with blog blueprint for about 4 months. You can just throw spun garbage on there, 100 word posts, up to 20 a day. Luckily, I didn't rely heavily on that network either, but I did get my $57/month worth - only to my own money sites, and not my clients.

      Google threw a temper tantrum.

      Personally, I think relying on Google for your income is scary! SEO is the dumbest business model ever! Even if you think you're doing right by your big daddy Google, you just never know.

      If SEO is your game, you are 100% owned!

        That's a fairly bold statement. Rather than forcing those of us who are wondering what you mean by that to read your wso, how about explaining briefly what you mean.

          Touche. It's a very bold statement, and admittedly it's an emotionally driven one.

          This BMR issue was hardly the catalyst for my feelings on this, and I've had some success with SEO, but not NEARLY enough when compared to all the money I've spent learning the game and all the time I've "wasted" trying to implement it.

          I find that you really have to employ a great deal of patience and faith when trying to rank your sites... and then there's no guarantee that your "top rankings" will ever actually materialize.

          And then if they do...

          You may (or may not) have a whole lot of maintenance work ahead of you. And even if you feel like you've done everything right, your boss decides to change the game on you and overnight, you're done.

          To me, it just feels like you're renting space from "the Big G." other than actually owning a business of your own.

        I think the problem really is relying on one method as someone said above. If you diversify your links enough, then you would be in that big of a problem in the first place.

        Off page SEO = Link diversity + Link Velocity + Link Quality

        It is a great business model, if you are willing to keep putting in the time to continue to learn how Google is ranking sites.

        You have to remember that if the people on this forum are having this much trouble keeping sites ranked, how difficult would it be for an average business owner that knows how to use internet explorer and occasionally sends a few emails in a day to stay ranked.

        Seriously dude?

        Coming to this section of the forums and blasting SEO its pretty damn worthless.

        Based on your post there is absolutely zero reason any one in this section should give you any credibility or second thought for that matter.

        You are clearly just pushing your list building effort by pushing your sig link.

        Why not just say, hey! I have a free WSO on list building. Instead you offend and insult all the members in this section. hmmm

          Agree and disagree.

          He is definitely right about your business model being based 100% on google. It IS scary, and one practice that I have never fully depended on.

          I won't ever depend on google for my income. I have adsense sites that only get traffic from google, but my main income is not going to ever depend on google.

          I definitely wouldn't say SEO is useless. It is part of a marketing plan just like list building. When it comes to your online marketing SEO is a pretty important thing. Useless? Absolutely not.

          If SEO was useless my clients wouldn't be saving over 5-10K a month from the rankings they have got opposed to what they spent using PPC.

          Basing your business on ranking in google, not a good idea. Ignoring SEO, not a good idea either.

            You're right. I definitely should NOT have asserted that it was useless. I still earn a portion of my living from it. And it's great how (especially with long-tail phrases) you can continue to earn hands-free revenues for months or years down the line.

            I retract my original statement, with the exception of what iAmNameless just mentioned. Google is NOT the be-all and end-all of IM success. There are other avenues which may be faster, less finicky, and more sustainable.

            It's one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't -

            In a sick way, the constant changes don't bother me. It challenges all of us to stay on our toes, because SEO or "rankings" are always going to be important to businesses that want that brand exposure , and targeted traffic.. with out paying for the click.

            If you rely on one single method for anything, especially seo, you are doomed.

            The same way if .. I don't know .. you're only income was e-mail marketing and your list, and your account was hacked and everything deleted, or the company vanished that provided your service, and took your list with them (maybe a bad example, but trying half-assed to make a point).

            Diversification is key, just like building a good portfolio of investments.

              That's actually a stellar point. I guess you can't really "put all your anxiety in one basket" either. Who's to say Aweber won't go TU tomorrow... or facebook... or YouTube?

              What's really difficult, however, is trying to employ diversification in the face of maintaining a "laser focus." At what point is "diversifying" just a synonym for "dabbling?"

                When I started, all I wanted to provide was SEO or GP. People who called me back had other questions. They started asking about mobile websites, or about this or about that. Not just SEO.

                Out of necessity I started quickly learning how to provide other services that can create a value for my clients.

                Diversification vs laser focus..

                I would say, have multiple lead generation methods , as with any service you provide, do it good the first time, and they want more of what you got.(I guess that could be used along with the female reference?)

                To stay focused on it, you need to set up some sort of "schedule" -

                Today from 5-7, I am working on this. 7-830 I am working on this, on and on.

                It seems that is where a lot of people fail, is not staying focused, it is a fine line between diversification and focus, I agree.

                I have only been doing this about 90-100 days, so I am still learning, I am still touching hot stoves.. I only try to touch them once though.

          My sincere apologies.

          It was hardly my intention to blast anyone. I'm kind of venting my own bit of ongoing suffering. I didn't intend to spark up any controversy.

          My WSO is timely for me because I am learning list building as an alternative to SEO. I guess it does kind of look tacky and suspect. I'll remove the sig.

          In addition, I guess insted of saying "If SEO is your game, you're 100% owned," I should have made it clear that I was actually saying that "I've been doing SEO for 4 years now... and I feel owned." That's a more accurate statement.

      Keeping us on our toes for sure.

      Definitely has me "changing gears" slightly. I have a lot of time and effort put into SMS and mobile marketing, that is going to be my bread winner anyways.

      People who relied heavily on BMR.. I feel sorry for. I have seen countless "BMR is all that is needed for local keywords, it rocks all my clients sites" etc.

        Relying heavily on one single method of obtaining back links was never a good idea.

        That the one method that they relied was black hat makes it even crazier.

        History has shown us that every black hat method gets caught eventually. The next idea may be off Google's radar for a while, but the question is not whether Google will catch it, but when.

      Just like SEO'ers shouldn't rely on a business, your business shouldn't rely on another one.

      My business is great with google, my business is also great without it.

      I have been telling people on the SEO part of the forum to get away from BMR for the past 6 months. Remember, what's hot in the internet marketing community is rarely something of any kind of longevity.

    Networks aren't really dead, just the ones who's model is like BMR.

    Its time to build your own digital assets to use for clients. Keep them absolutely private, focused, high quality, and you'll have your own powerhouse network that you own and control.

    I have always wondered why most people don't seem to realize that it is in Google's best interest to keep SEOers off balance.

    If something is really working, as in BMR or article marketing several months ago, isn't it just a matter of time before Google slaps the snot out of it?

    I mean, Google makes money thru paid advertising so it is in their best interests to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to "crack the code" on how to consistantly rank well.

    If paying XXX per click is the only guaranteed way to be on top, aren't people most likely to do just that as opposed to paying Joe SEO to get them there "in a few months".....maybe?

    No guarantees with SEO.....guaranteed with PPC.

      Actually its pretty obvious what Google is looking for in order to reward sites with high rankings. Just look at what they squash, that's the indication of what they don't want so....

        I don't really know if I agree with that, Russ.

        I mean, for the most part, maybe, but I have seen many sites rank well that were crap and I have seen many that were technically SEOed out the tail that didn't do so good.

        Google must be a female.......hard to figure out.

            LOL! Good point.

            Females can be very high maintenance, and in this regard so is Google. If you have a site that is not being maintained, then Google will start to get bored with it and drop it.

            But, just like my wife, Google doesn't want you to treat your website like everyone else's out there. They want to see good content that is unique to only them. SEO is getting tougher because of the panda update, but really only to those that are not doing it the way that they are supposed to be. Blackhat and greyhat techniques are going to work less and less with each update that Google does.

    Wow, after all this de-indexing of sites and this new "Over SEO Penalty" I think it's time to get all the eggs out of one basket relying on Google. Yeah Panda was enough but this..!?

    Anyone got good tips to sell web videos online?

      Not to TOOT my own horn, but I have been saying this for months and you all thought I was crazy for saying not to over optimize your pages. Unfortunately, I wish I was wrong cuz it does change the game up a little bit.

        Sigh, why do people say "not to .. " and then do it.

        IAN - just toot your horn and get it over with.. and yes, I have heard you say that, and* even "un perfect'ed" on-page seo on a site or two

    I have used Build My Rank for a few of my sites in the last 6 months. One jumped to page 1, a couple to page 2. The network gave my sites a nice boost.

    In the recent months, however, I have also diversified my backlinks. I've used social bookmarking, small number of profile linking, and other private networks.

    Time to build my own network >
