   I think everyone is hooking up with “blackhats” as a form of hype or buzz to get people to link to their blogs. I am not sure how this goes over with clients, do “clients” visit SEO site blogs? I would say a low percent do. Rand Fishkin is seen as a “white hat” so maybe he wants to give himself a harder edge? That is pretty difficult when you wear yellow boots but it’s all good.

   Yep, I believe only a very small percent do. SEO is too advanced for the general Joe Blow.

   Hehe, his yellow boots.

   Well, I think he increases his readership and wider his audience and get some more backlinks.

   I can’t tell if Matt does this to just say “I am watching you” or he really likes visiting SEO blogs. It’s kind of funny, he visits my blog but never comments, I guess it is because I am not an SEO? Interesting, if you are reading the Mr. Cutts Jim is one of the 1-2% of good SEO’s I believe to keep your manual hand off his stuff dude! ;-0

   I agree with Jim. Spinning hype and working PR miracles is one thing, hiring a dude who openly says stuff like this is another:

   ‘He currently resides in Georgia and enjoys spamming the hell out of Google at any opportunity as well as learning and devising new search engine spam techniques. He manages a network of over 35,000 websites and 75,000 blogs for grins and giggles in his spare time. Well, ok, it’s all he does and it’s all spam so nyah! ‘
