Don't make me laugh, you have no got a clue how to get results. You are clearly clueless on how to linkbuild to rank. Have you any idea what GSA SER can do when you master it, no, have you used it, I doubt it. Read your own comment, you have just made a complete fool out of yourself.
GSA SER actively seeks sites to post to in virtually all types of links (it's called diversity, it's important), on auto pilot. Assuming the 10 tier one links are pointing to the money site, he is creating 2nd tier links, which GSA is well suited for. You can link as you wish but I wouldn't take anything seriously from someone who thinks GSA looks "cheesy and stupid" . I've only had it a few days and see results, I haven't come close to mastering it (I have seen results from people who have mastered it btw), this is all in one linking from one piece of software, it's a bit like scrapebox, a must have if you're serious about results. Of course you can build your own networks etc but they need a decent budget and you'll be using GSA on them at some point anyway.
