A 12 Step Program For Link Buyers – Sellers Anonymous
This was originally written back in 2007.
This is my personal favorite post. This was created as a response to the uproar during over Google’s decision to move against websites that participated in the lucrative trading of links. This practice for many seems as if it were an addiction.
The SEO subculture was a buzz and people were openly discussing how hard to was to give up the easy way of buying your way to the top of search rankings. It seems often like the cry of addiction. Businesses were struggling with how to give up this patterned behavior.
So we came up this little 12 Step Program.
1. We admitted we were powerless over links that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than or ourselves, (Google) could restore us to our SEO sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Google as we understood their SEO logic.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves, our links, and our hats.
5. Admitted to Google, to ourselves and to another SEO being the exact nature of our link buying and selling.
6. Were entirely ready to have Google remove all these defects of character and SEO practices.
7. Humbly asked Google to remove our Page Rank.
8. Made a list of all websites and clients we had harmed by buying and selling links and become willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to Google and our clients wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take link inventory and when we were wrong in our SEO practices promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, Google , and the universe, as we understood them to be, praying only for knowledge of Google’s will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of Google, we will carry this message to all SEO’ers, Black Hat and White, and to practice these linking principles in all our SEO affairs.
Rely on your higher power to keep you strong.
