Everyone on BHW should create a twitter. We'd raid Fishskin and Rustybrick and the crap they post LOL.

Just look at the shit Rusybrick posts...."today is Marissa Mayer's birthday".....man.....

Rand Fishkin is genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met, please don't.

He's living the dream, don't hate.

You're so politically correct, it's irritating. You think by posting this I love google and I love Fishkin stuff you'll earn something from them?

In fact it was just today that I got an alert on my phone telling me a product I was looking last week at was now on sale at a local store. It gave me the directions to the store along with their closing times. It even told me when the store would be the least busy. Doesn't that impress you in the slightest?

Dear Bartosimponio,

I apologise for being nice and admiring the standing of Rand Fishkin within the SEO community, the same man who was nice enough to give me 30+ minutes of his time to give me free advice to go further with my career last year.

I also apologise to yourself and the rest of BHW for admiring the work that Google have done. In fact it was just today that I got an alert on my phone telling me a product I was looking last week at was now on sale at a local store. It gave me the directions to the store along with their closing times. It even told me when the store would be the least busy. Doesn't that impress you in the slightest?

I apologise for finding such technological advances beneficial to my life. I apologise for saying Rand was a nice man.

Have I upset you in any other way?

In the last year I have learnt a lot, one thing I was doing that I think you are guilty of is making excuses for your own lack of success by pretending you don't "want" to be the people you criticise, like there is something wrong with them and while Rand Fishkin is travelling the world with millions in the bank with his lovely wife, you're sat at home in front of your TV with you laptop eating pizza and talking shit on the internet about how they are bad people.

Stop hating bro, it will get you no where. You are currently experiencing the full effects of it. Getting mad because they "cheated" and made it, you already lost.

There ain't a shortcut for hard work, take a look at the first posts on the Moz blog. They have no posts, no interactions and they are from 2004 or something.

Rand probably put in years and years of work growing these out with minimal traffic/success while you were watching the sopranos (or whatever TV show was big then). He didn't cheat, no one gave him this on a plate, no short cuts were taken...

He worked hard and made it happen, I respect that.

If you have a problem with that then I guess you can suck my balls.

Thanks
