There is that Chinese site called DH Gate
http://www.dhgate.com/ is one of the biggest eCommerce sites in the world. You know how they became so popular (in SERPS) ? They sucked the cream off of Neil Patel dick. No, they are actually buying TONS of links each month. Sidebar links, footer links, article links, do-follow links, no-follow links, image links with optimized alt text......they are spending fortune on links, they are everywhere. On Elance, on BHW, contacting bloggers directly...
I have seen them in the sidebars of sites in every niche you can imagine. They are posting text links on hosting forums, domaining blogs, mommy blogger blogs, pet blogs....you name it.
Now go and try outranking them for "black and white wedding dresses" with content marketing.
You see, here is the difference SkyrocketSEO... you are a seller of links.
Nobody really know your name
You have a fake name, a fake locaton... I mean, you sell stuff via paypal.
you could be in China, or Nigeria or New York City pal.
You see my last name?
you saw my face.
You can find my name...
so why do I want to build an SEO agency where at some stage... I can be slapped ... and suffer legal actions?
That is the REAL world of people with real agencies.
Not the avatar behind a forum....
Your comparisson is interesting, but is like if you tell me that to make it in the RESTAURANT industry I need to open a Mcdonalds.
I'm not into McDonalds. May be you are. That's not what MY STRATEGY is all about
So why you get so emotional?
If my path is going to fail... just grab popcorn, get a coke and get ready to laugh...
Now even better. Happy to have with you a Google hangout and we can talk about this... and invite everyone to have a civilized conversation.
BUT: You need to stop talking about dicks mate. It seems you are a bit in love with the idea....
