Does SEO really work?

[Greig Whitton]

Why would public listed companies and government agencies link out to a vast link farm that favours quantity over quality?

Exactly.

We need to move on to your last question

Finally, even if you can convince Google, how do you create the site-specific relevance and context that separates junk links from quality ones?

But before we do, assuming it is possible to create a site that corporate, government and third parties just link to and just keep on linking to? Would that not be the sort of site that would be worth getting links from? Taking it a step further if one created a dozen sites the first site links to, would these dozen sites not be the sort of sites one wants to get links from?

Workshop, you have a knack for repeating yourself over and over and over. Would you mind moving onto your point.

I have asked a question but I am not getting an answer. For some reason, those that know about these things are a little skittish and you are dancing around the point I wish to make. But not a problem. If there is no interest, there is no reason in flogging a dead horse. Which I suspect is what you are trying to say.

No.

No.

Are those answers unambiguous enough for you?

[workshop]

No. But it is getting a little complicated. And SEO is everything but complicated. So that gives us nothing to discuss.

What happens if the answer you get doesn't suit the point you're aiming to make?

Shew .........I thought it was just me ...........

One needs to approach issues using logic and reason. So that results and solutions follow. But if we can't even turn the key it makes the discussion pointless.

But if we can't even turn the key it makes the discussion pointless.

If you can't navigate to your point, it might be said your strategy is pointless

If you have a point to make and you believe there's merit in it, perhaps try a different route. Around here, trying to lead the witness is a bit like herding wild cats.
