I cannot tell you how many horrible SEO articles I read at major publications. Be it from giving advice on SEO that is completely wrong and out-dated to trashing the SEO industry because of taking the wrong advice. The other day, John Dvorak decided to bash the SEO industry because he took the wrong advice from a so-called SEO. John’s article was named SEO Fiascoes: The Trouble with Search Engine Optimization.

In his article, he explains how the advice given to him by an SEO totally killed his blog. He concludes from getting bad advice from one so-called SEO that the whole SEO product line is a scam and that you shouldn’t waste your time and money with it, unless you have a site built in Flash.

I often skip writing about this articles, but this one took it to the heart of many SEOs.

There is a large Sphinn thread with tons of comments from our community on the topic. Let me isolate a few of those comments for you:

Let’s not forget, Danny bashing Dvorak and his kind in his keynote yesterday.
