[QUOTE=TheSquealer;20017298While 99.9% of this industry were ignoring what was right in front of them, others were busy building link networks, site networks, structuring them well, linking well, building outside links, using tools like xrumer and others to mix in a lot of non adult links and so on and so on and so on. The basics have never changed ... All that has changed over the years is the pace at which you could build links. [/QUOTE]
Thank you. You are proving that google rewards those that build links in a way in which google likes. It's not about best user experience.
Example.
Plumber 'A' writes an article on how to fix a leaky faucet. It's very easy to understand and great for the user.
Plumber 'B' writes a similar article but it's not so great. But plumber 'B' knows how to build links and does so. Assuming same on page SEO, google sends it's users to Plumber 'B'. The worst article.
In terms of user experience the first article is much better and the user would have a better experience but since google rewards link building the user doesn't get as good an experience.
User experience is not google's top priority. Money is.
