that's why I'm not doing seo anymore, I'm not spending my time on stuff that will just lose in the end, waste of energy, waste of money, waste of time. Jagger finally taught me the lesson I should have learned in florida.
All sites I run that have real content have not been affected by any of the last updates, bourbon, jagger, bigdaddy test dcs. Well, ok, one site changed in bigdaddy dcs, it started ranking for a very competitive keyword phrase I'd never managed to rank for before. A few simple insite changes, plus inertia, made that happen.
After jagger I decided to stop playing seo games and produce real content that people can use, exclusively. I use seo, but it's very clean. That's working very well, every week I'm getting higher and higher quality inbounds. Very little seo energy put out, all of the work went into creating the content that was linked to.
This formula is also known as brett tabke's 26 steps. Works much better on established sites by the way. New sites, much harder, but if you can wait 1.5 to 2 years your new site will now be an old site. That's how long it takes realistically if you want permanent presence.
