Just make sure your ad-blocker is turned on before going there. That site spawns pop-unders, pure spam.

this article by John Lund is pure BS, what he says was true maybe in 2009, nothing of what he recommends is working in 2013, now it's all about being linked by top-tier authority sites, even buying links is reported in SEO sites to be not working anymore.
by the way, to top it off he claims to be a webmaster but his blog is hosted on a free Blogger account and using the default template !

Xanox why don’t you want to understand the truth – the free lunch is still possible! ;)
(Yes, I agree it is not that easy as it was before, but still done-able.)
Thus SEO rules mentioned in that article are still important and they have their real value and substantiation!
For example, there have already been first sales on websites from Symbiostock network without their owners doing any paid advertising!
How is that possible?!?!
Guess how. Because SEO rules and free lunch (picking of image buyers directly from SERP for free) still works!
That’s it! ;)
Btw. nothing against you Xanox. I more or less understand what you want to say by words that what worked in 2009 doesn't work in 2013 anymore.
But I think your opinions regarding SEO are way too negative, because you say that there is no free lunch possible at all. I say that there is. But the truth is somewhere in the middle. Free lunch is still possible when SEO is done with great care and points in that article are good beginning to it!

@jareso :
anything is possible, i'm not saying people should give up.
but if you count how much time it will take to properly spam all the social networks and promote your site anywhere under the sun ... sorry it's really hard work and you can score some results for a while but you've zero guarantees it will work for long.
it's like building the house on the sand, you're 100% at the mercy of google.
paid advertising is the way to go, anything else is a welcome plus of course, but recently google even sandboxed a lot of forum and downplayed the link signatures too, there was another interested debat about this in a few SEO forums regarding "user generated content" being basically downgraded to spam.
and they're right, it's too easy to spam social networks, blog comments, forums, there are very good tools for that spammers dont do anything by hand nowadays it's all automated including captchas.

I agree. The article is pretty basic stuff, but it still holds true. Just follow some simple rules, create great content, and you'll start showing up. It's a lot like micros. Maybe, it isn't as easy as 2006 when you could upload any garbage and get noticed, but you can still get noticed if you are producing things people want.
