Google Says You Are Not Entitled to Links
A recent post on Twitter by Google’s Danny Sullivan highlighted that websites are not entitled to links.
I have 25 years hands-on experience in SEO and have kept on top of the evolution of search every step of the way. Because of my longtime presence in the search community I have been invited to Google HQ several times where I met the spam team (then headed by Matt Cutts) and I met Sergey Brin at the first Google Zeitgeist.
I’ve served as a Head Judge at the U.S. Search Awards several times and have presented at the following search marketing conferences:
PubCon Las Vegas, PubCon Dallas, PubCon New Orleans, PubCon Orlando, PubCon Austin, SMX East, SMX West, SMX Advanced Seattle, Affiliate Summit NYC , Affiliate Summit West, and SES (Search Engine Strategies).
