"Don't let the Internet Marketing crowd fleece you, though." -- mind explaining that? I'd love to hear more. Thanks


Ya, Patrick, I don't really understand that statement. Please can you explain?

Secondly, I remember you writing previously that you got a free membership to the site? Or do you now pay for it?


I'm a moderator at SEOBook, which is not SEOMoz.

The aside about Internet Marketing -- if you ever look up the terms Internet Marketing or Make Money Online you'll find a wealth of squeeze pages with long copy attempting to convince you that $79.95 or $500 is all you need to make millions on Google. These places are little better than scams targeting the desperate and ignorant. So when I give advice like "Hey, don't sweat the small stuff, speculative spending on SEO is smart even if it doesn't immediately result in sales this time" I wanted to add a disclaimer "But don't get suckered, because exactly those words get repeated by people looking for suckers".
