Which should be a given if you have a web site about a topic. Maybe I misunderstood the article?

But a link from a small PR0 blogger is as potentially valuable as one from a PR6 blogger, you never know where they will go. So I stand by a Link is a Link but add the caveat Spam and scrapers aren't links as they will vanish over night anyway. Hi Lyndoman,

Venture, I'm not so sure I agree with you that a link is a link. A link coming from a site which Google sees as a trusted authority is far more important than a link from spam city.info.biz Mitza, I'm not sure I'm getting big. However I am developing a voice and some people like what they read. But yeah, things are going well. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Kevin thank you also for the vote of confidence. Search Engine Watch still has a great team and SES still attracts the SEO glitarati. So I'm sure we are not witnessing the destruction of SEW, however I do think we will be seeing a few changes over the next 6 months. I will strive to continue producing content that is linkable. Thanks for the link Matt, I sent some Stumble action your way. Simon congrats on the 2 links from SEL, I’m sure you will continue to produce content that will attract more.

I'm constantly looking for new blogs to link to in our daily wrap-up posts at Search Engine Watch, and the primary criteria I use is what's being said, rather than who says it. Not parroting other search blogs is of course helpful too. I enjoy reading your posts (other than the ones that foretell our impending doom, of course) because they're original, informative, and well written. That pretty much encapsulates what people should strive for if they're looking for links. Cheers, Kevin Newcomb News Editor, Search Engine Watch You’re absolutely right, Lyndon.

I really try not to blog the self same thing that hundreds of other bloggers have already hit. It is more of an effort to spend the time coming up with something different, so I can see why people do fall into the 'me too' posts (and despite my best intentions I probably have a couple of those buried in there). Oh, and I've had 2 links from SEL too (one on their first day), my money's on you for the hat-trick before me ;) I agree with you.
