Link-building services have always been a part of the SEO world because, let’s face it, building (the right) links isn’t always the easiest thing in the world to do.

It can be repetitious, boring, thankless and sometimes futile.

Yup, there’s nothing like spending more time than it takes to watch all of the Star Wars movies (except that dumpster fire of a film, Episode I — no one should have to endure that again), only to find that the links didn’t stick and all your work was for...

If you want to eat chicken, you have to cook it. As fun as salmonella can be (read: not), it's crucial to make sure the food you eat is prepared properly. But without eating the chicken, the cooking of it has no real purpose. The ultimate goal is to eat the chicken.

In the digital content world, the worse thing you can do is plagiarize someone else’s work.

Not only are you stealing someone’s intellectual property and using it for your own gain, but you’re risking your site’s standings with Google and even legal action.

Site owners across the globe blow their noses noisily as they discover the obituary here. And then they don their black clothes and head out. The year is 2014, and this is the funeral of Google Authorship.
