Eric Ward published this piece on Search Engine Land the day after Christmas. He talks about infographics, guest blogging, putting "submit" in the submission page URL, and pages with Links.html & Links.php.

"As long as there have been SEOs or link builders making claims that come across as absolutes, I have argued vehemently that absolutes are a trap.

Five Linking Myths That Need To Go Away In 2013

I love the examples he uses. This is a very well written piece. Thanks for the share!

I love how INTENT is somehow relevant.... How exactly is that measured? ;-)

He just published another piece on link building today (in Search Engine Watch this time):

Love this article! Thanks for sharing. That /links mythbuster feat. a Harvard example was especially cool.

Great article. I agree Jenna, the Harvard example was nice. The comments were pretty solid as well.
