Fixed this for you:
2. Submitting too many (aka SPAM) guest posts in websites which allows do-follow links.

Otherwise, nice.

Care to elaborate on 1. Focusing on Google instead of users?

FYI, Google 2019/2020 is advocating to us that a prime SERP factor is to focus on User Intent, so would you care to explain why "focusing on Google instead of users" is a mistake please when almost the entire professional SEO community states otherwise?

Thanks

  Of course it is. Anything over DA 95 is a scam. Everyone knows that.

Why man??? Why??

I have learned many things here.

Ofcourse, you have to have the correct eye to see through the irrelevant rant and BS.

@DABK Although DA/PA itself is a scam. But your statement is also flimsy. DA99 PA99 links in fiverr, isn't that too much?!

  Nah, man. I ran google.com through MOZ's spam tool. It's coming up at 99. Surely, then, its Domain authority must be 99, no? And clearly that means enterprising young fiverr's can get a you a link from a Google, no?
  
  And, on a serious note, I got an email from someone on fiverr who was trying to sell me hundreds of backlinks from DA 95. Made my heart flutter.
