DP Makes Me Dumber

The techniques they emphasize on DP are usually outdated (sometimes 10 years past their expiration date)- submitting to general purpose directories, even submitting to search engines. Occasionally, they'll discuss using techniques that could work (ie: linkwheels) in ways that don't because the implementation they discuss was discovered and penalized years ago by Google.

Yeah, doing stuff like link wheels and following Angela's list is much more up-to-date and brilliant, lol. What's amazing here is that this thread is just as dumb as most of the threads you will find on DP. The only difference is that you try to make yourself look better. But at the end of the month, are you sure you make more than those guys if we don't count all your e-whoring, copy-paste types of jobs, etc.

+1 on the cheap workers part. The reason they do it though is usually:

1. They want to feel like they accomplished something, even if its making 6 bucks in 3 hours.
2. They outsource the work via a GAF (or similar site) team they've created.

I was almost going to attempt trying to write 30 articles a day by hand. I accomplished it once, but the work... it sucks. I'd rather go back to Burger Kingl

You know what is even funnier? Go to the "copywriting" section and listen to them bitch about the fact that people don't want "professional" articles, they want "search engine food". I had to point out that "search engine food" makes writing a whole lot easier, but sadly nobody agreed with me.....

That said, there is SOME decent info on DP that can be hard to find on BHW. I didn't understand jack about SEO till I took a little vacation from BHW and went to DP for awhile. Perhaps it is because they discuss the basics of everything, whereas BHW is more specific method-oriented. Just read something there and then ask the question "Ok, now what would BHW do?" and mix that with your own common sense.

BHW will always have the better info though. You know why? Because DP and WF are all closed minded towards Black Hat stuff, where BHW covers BOTH the WH and BH side of things. I actually dub a lot of my threads on both BHW and DP, but have to sensor parts of them for DP. It's not like they're bad or stupid people, they're just convinced somehow that the online world is an honest place.
