@SpinyNorman:

You said: “frankly this post told me more about you” and I have to say that you leaving this comment under a fake name and email address told me a lot about you as well. I may not always say what is right, popular or politically correct, but I’m always willing to stand behind my opinions – without the shield of being anonymous.

Wow, hostile much?

Shari can come off as brusque (to be kind), and she certainly does have strictly defined ideas about what is acceptable practice and what isn’t, but I don’t see how she deserved this kind of insulting flame.

You’re over-reacting and lashing out, and frankly this post told me more about you than it did about Thurow. The “fuck you, I”ll do whatever the hell I want” mentality is at least as damaging as incompetence.

I hope you’ve switched to decaf by now.

AMEN! I had the misfortune of hearing Shari Thurow speak. Can I get a refund? She even makes up her own terms for different SEO practices…. I heard the whole “I’m getting my PHD..” garbage too.

Congratulations. You have another subscriber.
That.
Was.
Beautiful.
Very few people realize that both blackhat and whitehats have endless complexitites; there is no easy way out.

Shall we all sue her when she does this shit again? ;-)
I’m a bit too late to read your post Rae – but it’s a great reply anyway. BTW I always quote you on “any *good* blackhat seo can â€œwhitehatâ€ their asses off”

This is one of the best posts I’ve seen for awhile, maybe we are starting to see an “elite” class of SEO’rs seperating themselves from the “rest of us”.

Definately gotta make a shirt around this – thanks for the inspiration!

A lot of whitehats are whitehats because they’re not bright enough or forward thinking enough to do blackhat work.

That’s my excuse, but at least I admit it. Others apparently are in denial.

Since I don’t have time to read through everything that comes thru my feeds, I’m glad you’re here to show me what’s a waste of time.

I haven’t been around as long as other others who commented, but even I’m tired of the holier-than-thou crowd who have nothing better to do with their time than throw insults.
