think you are fundamentally wrong and are guilty of two common traits of people involved in this industry: 1. Your business and income depends on SEO, and for you that means Google link SEO.

That's a bit of a stretch. Especially coming from someone who admits to having a financial interest in ASK.

In fact, between my last post and this one I bought Ask stock. I am that confident in it... My money is where my mouth is. Ask is on the way up.

It's fairly consistent in this forum that the fiercest defenders of ASK have a financial interest in it. Your financial interest in ASK makes you a vastly less reliable source of insight into ASK than the SEOs you accuse of supporting Google out of self-interest.

Frankly, your accusation against critics of ASK is shallow, highly speculative and has no foundation in facts.

All of the criticism of ASK offered here is constructive in nature. I am probably not alone in wanting ASK to become a major search engine player by becoming more popular. I and many others want ASK to succeed. However, to accomplish that ASK is going to have to clean up it's act and focus on the nuts and bolts of search, the less glamorous part that matters.
