It's no secret that I do love a lil SEO it's my secret weapon against the competition.

I work in niches that you'll probably never see, and some that you do.

I'd like to show and tell (but more on that later)

Back To Upsetting the Status Quo with search engine optimization. I've a site that I rarely visit called ratedbytony.com I use it for product review in the IM space. It's one of those honest review sites that just ranks well.

The 1st upset was for Quicksprout University -

Neil Patels program fell foul of the promises and wasn't received too well by myself.

What I saw in the comments was an attempt by Neil to sway me to write a more positive review. However what actually happened was one of his goons called me to try to get me to spend more money!

You can guess what I think of Neil Patel despite how Great everyone tells me he is. To me his content may be spot on - but his ethics stink!
That brings me to SEO upset #2

I review Hydravid a while ago and it was truly pants, I mean an utter waste of time. (BUT a great concept)

This morning I have a comment from Walt Bayliss, he want's to offer me a chance to look at the new software and re-review Hydravid video distribution.
His approach seems a lot more ethical than Neils as he's already sent me a couple of emails and given me full access with bells on!

Is There A Way I Can I Help You?

SEO that I've applied to my posts and reviews has upset the Status Quo of product developers that don't deliver on their promises.

I out rank anything they can put up as a review and they need to ensure that the top results in google are positive so they have a chance of a sale. .. well I put a little vinegar in that sauce!
These are not shoddy developers, they are well respected and rated peeps in the IM world.

So do you want more proof that anyone can make a difference with what you learn and more importantly apply here at Wealthy Affiliate.

So back to the show and tell. If you want to know more, and how I structure reviews to rank just ask.. Leave a comment here letting me know if you need a li SEO magic dust them PM me with Status Quo in the subject...

I'll show you how I do it in a most unconventional way - we'll rank a post on one of my niche blogs together!
