On the contrary, I am an SEO professional with many hats. I do appreciate your brutal honesty - I get why you are. However, I have been in the SEO/Digital Marketing industry for the previous 5-6 years now. There was a period where I stepped away for awhile due to life circumstances....but now that I am back....I noticed there has been a torrential amount of changes hence my question about current link building practices.
I do have developer/coding experience and have built a few sites myself, however, I'm hoping to avoid build-from-scratch scenarios from here on out. I've decided to fly solo as I am confident in doing so. The request for site feedback is positive for "outside observers looking in" to find any errors I may have missed. I specifically requested site feedback because this is my first round through Divi and wished to make sure all is working well.
I promise you also it is most definitely not a scam but again I understand where you are coming from. Yes, I am starting small while solo and working my way up, eventually hiring freelancers to take on work I am unable to handle at that time.
Seems you yourself have experienced scammers and "illegitimate rogue SEO's" which is sad and terrifying for legitimate individuals making a name for themselves. But hey, we all have to start somewhere with what we got.
I'm letting my few years of experience and successes guide me while exploring new avenues.
