So why argue?

Call me Mr. Stubborn but the only Google Sandbox is in Adwords

Sites need traffic to move up the rankings….one of the 100 parts to the algorithim….otherwise why recommend the 1,043rd site built for blue widgets???

My only question why are their so few other stubborn people who can see the light??

One other thing I also forgot to mention is that some people are having luck with using other country .tlds rather than the standard .com, .net, etc.

One other thing is to get highly relevant backlinks that turn into conversions. Don’t just mass link…find quality backlinks.

For a different perspective I just looked back at traffic sources over the last few months. The aggregate volume of quality links (that convert) for my main business site approximated traffic volume from MSN (about 9% of SE traffic) (the site isn’t sandboxed- google drives most SE traffic).

So the quality highly relevant links essentially add about 8% to SE traffic. That is a significant number. These links convert. Possibly at a better rate than the SE’s (since the SE’s also drive lots of irrelevant traffic.) (I have to spend a lot of time re reviewing conversion numbers to give hard data).

Quality links placed well in other sites drive SE and other traffic to your site…with or without high serps.

Dave
