It’s very easy to knock someone out. I accidentally did it to my own sites and I did it to a friends sites as a test (the sites were not earning any money)
Anyone who says external links cant hurt you are fooling themselves. If you are willing to invest $500 in link buys you can get almost anyone banned.
Dude I agree, if I had a dollar for every SEO misconception I would be a rich man.
Nothing is absolute in SEO in my experience. Since we talk alot and share info I think we can both agree that 99/100 times so called SEO truths may be true for some situations and not for others. Things really depend on the specifics of each situation.
