But, maybe a little over-simplified. Link quality is paramount, but the algos are not nearly as robust as Google would like us to believe. They also said years ago that the 302 redirect trick was 'defeated', but even now people are using it with blogger.com blogs with great success. While one on theme pr6 link is worth 150 pr0 links, have you tried getting a pr6 link lately? If you vary the anchor text dramatically, you can do a lot in a very small amount of time using those pr0 sites. This strategy will outrank on page seo only 8 days a week, and will also defeat the "only a few good links" strategy as well. I have seen it too many times. One caveat is domain age. A 3 year old domain will skyrocket with a few links while a new domain takes a lot more and spread out for longer periods of time. On the flip side, I appreciate what you are doing with your blog and at the very least you are educating business owners on a misunderstood subject. Steev Agreed. But, maybe a little over-simplified.

For small to medium businesses the number of links does not matter, quality of links is important. For big websites is a different story.

Good SEO starts at making sure your site is designed in a fashion that your keywords and content can be easily found. However, this is known as "on page" search engine optimization, and you do everyone a disservice saying that that's all there is to SEO. 95% of what makes your site actually rank in Google is the number, and quality of incoming links, and what anchor text is used in those links. Combine that with the 'on page' factors, and that's good SEO. Other than that, you guys are accurate and actually refreshing with your content and your desire to 'shed light'. You got it half right.
