SEO advice from Chris Silver Smith
The list of advice from Chris is this:
- Don’t do illicit link building.
- If you do “bad SEO” then don’t brag about it on social media.
- If you are complaining about being hit by HCU on social media, then people will consider you “a bit dodgy”.
- My favourite quote from Chris: “AI content generation responsibly: creating derivative shlock at scale is a recipe for ruin.”
- Focus on quality instead of shortcuts to search success.
