Well, no matter the reasons for someone writing something, as long as i can get at least 1 thing out of it, its all fine with me.

Many people have (me too) and it does not work for the smear campaign fans. They seek a scape goat not a discussion.

It’s like explaining that “niggers are not subhuman” (sorry to my African and African American readers, I had to use graphic language here to prove my point). It does not make sense to deal with such an “opinion” in the first place.

Of course, I’m something of a hippie, right? The promise of Sematic Web, for me, is more oriented towards Wikipedia and useful content, instead of Making Money Online. I think there’s unobtrusive, value-adding ways to make money.

I do think that John is misdirecting his rage, though. There’s a lot of “top whatever” lists on here, but I’ve also found a lot of useful and honest content on this blog.

This post was pretty shallow, though — I would have been interested in something with more meat. Surely you can understand why people are proclaiming the “Death” of SEO, and it’s not just for mere linkbait. Critics do contribute useful feedback, and it would have been more interesting to read your responses to that.

I would never write a post like “Why you don’t need a web designer” but in fact after reading your crap I probably should. I repeat:
You are the attention whore. You shout so loud you want to heard for your trashtalk. Thus I won’t give you any more attention, so stop abusing the comment function here. Your attacks will be deleted. I’ll remove/unfollow your links too.

Btw. You just proved my point: Senseless SEO bashing attention whoring scores on the Web with the noobs and the ignorant. I can’t imagine anybody serious in the Web industry to be so ignorant of search engines.

Matt: Is that irony or do you want me to punish me for the Obama vs McCain post below? ;-)
