Happy Birthday Blue Hat SEO
I found out about the Blue Hat SEO blog shortly after I started writing WageRank. It was mentioned by Earl Grey in a thread on syndk8 as an alternative site for quality SEO information.
I’ve been hooked ever since.
Eli gives up several tips that really work and will make you money if you follow them through. It’s a must read for anyone serious in this business.
In his one-year-anniversary post, Eli shares his manifesto:
If I get my way, and I usually do, in the near future someone wanting to make some money off their webmaster peers won’t be able to put up some blog, post about boring new google products, and post a picture of themselves with a big check and get anyone to listen. People won’t be considered experts because they got a couple other experts to vouch for them. They won’t be able to become popular by doing constant circle jerk interviews(where one person interviews another only so they can be interviewed later by them). There will be only one way to establish yourself as an expert, and that will be to truly know your stuff. I believe this isn’t as impossible as it sounds. All it takes is one blogger showing two or three others that sharing and actually helping people isn’t so bad or as scary as it seems.
I started WageRank with similar goals and I know exactly where Eli is coming from.
How many blogs in your reader were talking about the recent Google Adsense policy changes? This is really Jensense’s area of expertise and she does a good job at breaking the news. We don’t need another 5,000 blogs telling us the same story.
Hopefully 2007 will bring on more bloggers that “get it” and less gurus trying to get us to pay thousands of dollars for their advice.
