I agree with: google, arkt, professor, [edited to add spear to the list, lol] and everyone else all at the same time.
If you don’t listen to everyone all at once you will fail. It’s all true, even the lies!
It’s kind of like rush hour…. you can get all pissed off and keep trying to change lanes and hope that one will move faster than another, you might get lucky but you can’t change the future…
You need SEO’ed sites. Do the same as you always have or if you want less work, at least don’t change them….
Take two cars at the same time, one in the left lane and one in the right lane…. make sure there is nice “one-way” door for your traffic to get back and forth ! important !
Make it easy for your content site users to get to your SEO sites and vice versa.
Drive in as many lanes as possible.
