Not quite sure why you state that. Where do I "discount linking"? I'm against partaking in link exchanges, schemes, etc., not organic linking.

As I stated before, rank checking is a useless practice, Google has thousands of datacenters it uses to calculate rankings. You could be on the first page of Google one day, then drop down to page 50 the next. I don't worry about it.

If you want to go ahead and "check my rankings" or something to see how *well* I'm doing, feel more than welcome to .

Because?

And then I should hire a so-called "SEO Expert" because?

What do you mean by "one of those yay or nay stances"?

You could spend hours, even days, *researching keywords for Search Engines* or you could focus on writing a quality post with lots of thought put into it and giving useful info to your visitors.

IMO if you are a good writer / blogger, thinking about so-called "keywords" is an afterthought.
