SEO, Links & Google?

[seo4china]

Well, from a long time perspective it makes more sense to build your links toward your own site. Your blog may become big and you make consider one day hosting it yourself (in order to place ads on it for instance) and if you had been building links toward the public blog you will have to restart all over again.

Furthermore, the main advantage of having a public blog is that you will get free traffic from the users of this public blog at the first place ;-)

As of the user who pointed out that SEO is dead, well, I beg to differ, SEO has just begun. End of the nineties or early 2000 SEO cannot be compared to the industry today, now it is much tough to trick the engines and get sites ranked at the top of the search engines easily. Now only the best will survive, and with a booming online advertising market and internet defining the future, the need of knowledgeable SEOs firms and consultants will only continue to be stronger.
