Even though the technical part was fascinating, it all seemed a bit botched to me and SEO seemed like an artificial practice , which filled the Internet with spam. I knew little about the Internet, so these were superficial judgments that I bitterly regret. Andrea forgive me . However, I want to highlight other aspects of SEO of that time. You took the site to be optimized as it was : you rarely proposed to redo it and what you did was distribute the keywords, studied above all by measuring monthly searches, on the existing pages.
Then you put some links from your network, that is, from a colombia number data set of sites, often themed with the main activity of your customers, that you had created to support your sites from each other and the customers' sites. In short, it wasn't a holistic SEO, but it worked too . The companies that at that time encountered an SEO-oriented web agency found a treasure: the doors of the world opened up to them and perhaps they didn't even understand why.
For this reason, but not only, the community already had a magical aura back then. I remember Andrea returning from the first GT conference at a certain point in 2006 all excited (I was very angry, because he was doing something for work on the weekend) and also the Arcane Factors competition , for which Andrea always stole my PC. such as doorways, but I admit that I don't remember these directly: they are things that I discovered later, in retrospect, so I won't talk about them.
