Did anyone else see this? Leslie Rohde Quits. I was away for the holidays and return to find out one of the best has, in essence, “walked away” from his subscriber base – OptiSmarts. It was cool while it lasted, he did a weekly video that shed a lot of light on linking and SEO. I learned a ton from Leslie’s videos. I’ll miss them.
Leslie is basically saying that “You cannot live on SEO alone.” That, I think we have all known – that SEO is just a small piece of the overall puzzle. I have been teaching basically the same thing for years … as I learned the concept early in 2000 from Michael Campbell. It isn’t a new concept, but I think Leslie is hitting it hard because people just don’t get it … they think that SEO is the cure-all.
I speak to Leslie on a slightly regular basis regarding SEO, my testing results, and such. I am surprised by this announcement and he says he’ll have another announcement on the 1st. I guess we’ll have to wait …
The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?"
