Following is the text from an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Q & A "interview" I agreed to do for another VA's newsletter last year.

If you have any follow up questions of your own, feel free to post in the comments and I'll be happy to answer in a future blog post.

Q: Is it true that blog sites are liked more than html sites? There is so much online stating that blogs work better than html now and that html are sort of becoming outdated due to that fact that blogs are considered consistent fresh content and html are pretty much static.

As an SEO service provider and someone who works to stay on top of the SEO game when it comes to my own sites, linkbuilding is one of my least favorite tasks. It's a bit mindless, very repetetive, and can make for one extremely long afternoon.

Yes, I could outsource this task. After all, these are the kinds of things we encourage our own clients to outsource, but I would rather slog through it myself, as tedious as it is, and do it right than risk having it done wrong or on the cheap. Sure, there is software that will autosubmit my site, promising me 10,000 backlinks by the time the sun comes up, but I'd rather have just five relevant, high-quality links back to a site than fifty or even fifteen hundred links in broken-down...
