Alex

What disturbs me the most is the fact that most SEO companies think they know it all.

My contention is you can’t. Because we will never know all the magic the big G puts into the sauce.

So we can share what works and what doesnt, but to claim omniscience is foolish.

Everyone needs to learn more each day, SEO’s included.

Interesting point here Alex. You posted a question well my answer is, no, I’m not an internet marketer. I’m just a blogger obsessed with blogging just like you. And just like everybody else, I’m trying to swim my way in an ocean of journals looking for opportunities and a potential income on-line.

@Lorian Rivers: I’m sure others said it before me, but I still don’t think it’s said often enough. You don’t need guts to say this, you need guts to acknowledge and admit your own level.

@Jerry: Passing along information is something. Stating you’re some sort of “guru” is something else. I’ve checked your website, and the honesty shown in words like “teaching”, basic” is something you rarely find. Congratulations!

@Andrew: Readers? I’m not taking for granted the knowledge of my readers. Don’t get me wrong! I put a lot of faith and trust in their capacity to absorb and successfully apply new information, but that’s being “smart”, and I know my faithful readers are smart. A knowledge base is built by being smart and gathering information, but you always need guidance to tie the two together. Like when you were a baby. You had a 1 and you had a 2, but until someone told you that you could add them to get 3, those two numbers were mostly useless to you. If, when being a new-entry in this field, you get this guidance from self-titled-underachieving-experts you’ve messed up quite a few steps.

Thank you all for commenting!

So true. Others just use the title expert to be able to sell something. However, readers would know and they will not stick to you and spread around bar word about you. So it’s best to be true to yourself and to be honest.

I agree

Each day I try to just pass along something I’ve learned and hope it helps to improve someones knowledge of Social Media.

BRAVO! I see these so called experts touting their “goods” from websites I wouldn’t frequent let alone pay money for!

Thanks for saying what most others won’t. Just becuase you are online does not make you an online expert!
