The Question…

Tommo from London, UK, most likely an SEO guy had a question on how to generate ranking reports. Here was his specific question:

Generally anything positive about yourself can help boost your business, or your credibility in your own field of study that can help you in your current employment, or getting a new job. But unfortunately, after the You & A portion of Matt Cutts at SMX Advanced, looks like the opposite was coming out If you are a popular SEO.

Michael Gray and Rae Hoffman have been talking about Google being unfair in profiling SEOs, where links are devaluated simply because they are the works of SEO people even if the intent was purely clean and done in a whitehat method.

What is SEO? I’m a Web Designer/Developer and I do not care about SEO. I’ll leave that to the SEO people.
