    Hi Ben,

    Can you send me the links of these articles or yours? Sure would love to hear your take on these topics. You know how these myths are, some could be very believable, some are just crazy and some are just plain confusing.

    Thanks!

    • Hey Brandon, I’ve got two of these articles posted on the site, but the others I haven’t gotten around to writing just yet.

  2. Ben,

    You have a lot of good stuff on your site! I searched for the articles above but couldn’t find them via the search box. Would you mind posting links to the pages in the comments? These are some of the things that really separate true SEO professionals from those that are just beginners. Would love to get your take and offer up my commentary.

  4. Hi Ben,

    There are many SEO myths and rumors we hear and read about everyday. While there are SEO tricks that work for a time, but inevitably come back to haunt the website using them, most of SEO is knowledge and work. Or research and time, if you prefer. :)
