Dave Pasternack dropped by again, this time to respond to my endorsement of Greg Boser’s elegant solution to the Threadwatch – Did-It SEO showdown. This Dave Pasternack seems to be getting desparate as it becomes obvious that he isn’t going to win this one.
Ironically, Greg has provided him with a respectable second place showing by getting the other contenders to drop out. While finishing second place for your own name is not much of an achievement, his Did-It bio was # 11 when Greg posted about the real Dave Pasternack. The other Dave’s bio on Did-It has risen to #2 after Todd, Michael Gray and IncrediBill, among others, decided to endorse Greg’s solution.
Dave describe my post as “ad hominem”, asserting that I attacked him rather than responded to his argument about professional SEO. The fact that Dave has spent so many hours responding to the Threadwatch SEO contest and failing to break the top 10 was an elegant, substantive demonstration that his argument was specious. Greg’s naturally sarcastic tone and clear contempt for anyone question the value of SEO resulted in a post that is arguably insulting, my comments, along with most of the comments by the SEO community, have been very constructive.
Dave, we may never be friends, but I implore you to grasp the olive branch that has been offered, swallow your considerable pride and admit that professional SEO consultants can provide great ROI for their clients…and even solve your reputation management problems. Then maybe you can get back to work, instead of trolling the blogophere all day trying to farm links from authors who disagree with you.
