Part One: SEO is a SCAM

After over a decade, people still ask me how to get to page one of Google. Then, before I can begin to explain, they barf up the words, "meta tags, right?" while leaning into me. 

No. 

Google has more Computer Science PhDs than all of Stanford U working on their algorithm. I think they're a bit more sophisticated.

But, they are so sophisticated, it's simple. Yes, getting to the front page of Google is simple. 

Google's goal is to keep their users happy. So their job is create a metric that will delivers search results that make the seeker happy. Your job, if you want to be in Google's page one under a term is simply, to fit.

To do the above, just duplicate what page one ranking sites have done (intentionally or inadvertently). And here's what they do:

A Google Page one ranking website has:

1) a Title that matches a search

2) Relevant forums talking about that page
A knitting forum taking about your website won't help much.

3) Relevant Bloggers write about you

4) Generates E-Mail chatter
If you get blogs and forums to write about you, but there's not a single email that contains your link, Google is going to know that you don't fit the organic model. After all, they index and spider every last byte in Gmail. 

5) Google will not spider follow a NOFOLLOW link BUT...
But that doesn't mean Google won't inventory a instance count of your link. In other words, if a casual commenter in North Dakota were to comment and paste your link into a blog or forum... he wouldn't know or care if that site was nofollow or not. So, you'd end up with a fair dispersal of links on nofollow sites. (Digg, Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

SEO guys are idiots. They're smart enough to know what a "nofollow"  is. But they're not smart enough to realize that Google knows that they know. So, there you go,don't ignore a site because it's "nofollow."

Most SEO guys totally ignore Digg, Twitter, and Facebook because they don't add to your pagerank--forgetting all about Google's ability to inventory instances.
