Alex Becker is owner of source-wave.com and I really like ( when I want to have a laugh) watching his videos.
Anyways, one very important thing that I will mention here. Few years ago I posted a comment that my site (not the current site that I own) is a good source of quality backlinks. At a later time I posted an advertisment on Matthew Woodwards blog.
Guess what? I got a lot of visits from Matthews blog but zero conversions (only broke ass losers and clueless newbies read that blog). On the other side, I earned a couple of thousands with that comment placement on Source-Wave.com
People reading source-wave.com want action, they want to rank, they have real businesses.
Looks like Alex Becker owns these too lol (10 & 13):

I remember that he used some of these sites for his videos and case studies. One of the sites he also uses to show how to rank is http://shredsource.net/
Easy to replicate for newbie.
One more thing. I enjoy watching his videos cause he is funny, not cause I think there is something new to learn. basically he is making a fun of people that are thinking how SEO is hard and how you need to waste your days thinking about Meta keywords, Text to HTML ratio or if your article is 578 words or should it be 623 words instead.
P.S. Just went there to see some new videos (wasn't there for quite some time) and I see he is now promoting his new program, so dont fall for this, you probably wont find anything ground breaking in his paid program.
