Leslie Rohde Hangs ‘em Up

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 …
