Whoah this reply.. although very common for you it seems.
All defensive and stuff, not really giving answers on all the questions I asked which there is no quota off of the minimum amount that should be asked that I know off so you start your reply a bit silly IMO.
I've seen you do this a lot of times though, getting all defensive with this sort of replies? Did I somewhere said you said that? It was an example about the whole discussion towards no expense for tools and the point was even if we were equally matched in writing (and that I'm better is just being cocky

) I would defeat you simply because I have better tools than google's toolbox.
On that I agree, not only on this forum but most of the people that thought they could do SEO after reading some Yoast blog
Again I agree as I said in my first reply, you have some valid points.
I actually run some projects for a decade but not one company in the world ranks for all their best KW's suited to their niche. I'm going to through a social manager at you, I never said, thought or claimed that people who bought back links are ranking #1

I can however tell you that every person/persons that work for companies and rank for multiple highly competitive keywords are using paid tools to manage, monitor and act upon them.
I could tell you plenty of sites but how would you check if they used those tools??
Go find some high searched volume keywords, see which websites are in the top 3 on the first page. Then check their SEO profile..oh wait you can't because you don't have the tools to see that information and therefor can't make any calculation or do reverse engineering.
Yes I noticed you have a BST and that's probably the only reason which doesn't matter but you are very new at it. You can call Billy stupid and although I don't agree with his way of communication at times (don't like yours often either though) he brought some very valid points when it comes to SEO and one of the tools he talked about is Ahrefs which is one of the best tools in the world to use if you are serious about SEO, google's toolbox isn't a match for Ahrefs, anyone knows this.
Which brings me to:
Stop being condescending towards people that give critique! You seem to love to give people your opinion and give them (often bad) advice but once you get critique, really, you turn into a not so pleasurable person.
Further more:
I can only laugh about your replies. I could go to this level but I will keep it descent
Why would you need to know KW difficulty?? If you have to ask you show again you have no clue what you're doing at all! I was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt after that whole discussion with Billy as I would have to talk to someone first before I can judge someone's knowledge that's why I asked you some questions but I'm starting to think he was right!
But it's cool, there are many people like you that think they know SEO, sure a little bit more than some newbie but I'm doing this as a profession for almost 2 decades, companies hire me and when I explain to you for what I've felt unlike you in a none rude way you tell me I don't know SEO haha sorry man, I can only laugh about this.
Another crazy statement of what now becomes a pile of them.
So here is a case how working with you would look like then.
Serious big client to Social Manager: " Before I want to hire you and spend $50k, I would like to see a detailed report of KW's with high searched monthly volumes"
> goes to his google toolbox and will be guessing what KW's seems relevant to the niche, google suggest some relevant KW's with a rough amount of search volume, copy pastes them in an Excel sheet and returns it to the client.
Client sees a particular keyword he likes, it has over 1 million searches but ( not that you can see it) it turns out that all domains on the first 3 pages all have very strong DA, PA, TF, CF and tons of quality back links and well written articles.
Client asks SM: " With this amount of searches a month I can imagine it's hard to rank for this keyword right? (because yeah, those volumes are worth big time money) could you tell me how hard it will be and what would be the best approach to end up higher in the SERPS for this particular keyword?"
Sm: " I can't tell you how hard it will be but don't worry, I will have to work for them anyway so don't worry. My best approach and advice would be: Do your best work possible!"
Client: "..." never replies again.
Remember I said earlier that you do this a lot, someone asks you a question and when you don't know the answer you make a reply with " Did I" this and that.
Again, Did
I say you did?? And I already know what answer you would give: [acts defensive and like a victim] "Where did you ask those questions, you talk shit this and that blah blah"
Actually you did, your porn site and even though you said you are letting it age which really doesn't have much value for SEO because you have already been making bad quality back links to them or you let a bot, other people do it but yeah, you don't need it to age.
But IF you don't consider your porn site to be an authority site combined with you saying you don't have any authority sites, who are you to give others SEO advice??
You have literally
nothing to back up all your crazy claims, opinions and so called knowledge of SEO, do you realize this? Really! If you let that sink in and then read the outrageous claims, advice and replies you give, you have any idea how dumb this look?
Another very typical answer of you. Insult after insult after insult when someone questions the führers word and advice. You are right about that I don't comprehend the words you say because they make no sense at all!
Besides everything I already quoted above you even end with an example, how am I even making excuses for people who make shitty websites?? I even agreed with you on some points about them..
I know for a fact I don't talk shit or make things up as I quoted everything that you said and replied to them. The only one who is talking shit to me is you, you have been talking shit to multiple people in this thread and other threads and then try reverse psychology and blame it on the other person.
So at least you're good at one thing, reverse psychology, maybe you should pursuit a career in that.
Nevertheless, thank you for this discussion! Even though you didn't answer much on what I asked I still got acknowledged what I already thought
Sure, you might know a little bit of SEO but honestly, you are just slightly above a noob.
You don't run authority sites, you have never ranked on page one on the #1 spot for high volume keywords even though you said you could do that for any keyword, you only have some small clients but don't have the experience with big clients ( and NO, you didn't say you had it's a statement), you can't actually proof your way of working, methods, thoughts about SEO work!
As I said in the beginning, I gave you the benefit of the doubt but now that I actually had a small conversation with you personally I would have to agree with
@Billy Batts you should not give other people advice about SEO because even though you think you know SEO you are an absolute beginner with mediocre knowledge and no real experience.
Now I know based on your replies to me, other people that gave critique and Billy how you are going to reply which is of course your right trying to flip it around again so you will try to make me look bad and save your ass but unlike Billy I'm actually not going to reply to this anymore because I already got everything I wanted to know for myself.
As you can see I don't reply much and am more of a reader, I just felt compelled to reply to this thread and now I will be moving on.
So have a great weekend man and take a chill pill every so often!
