By So yesterday my buddy sends me this article going “Dude, is Stewart Vickers actually the greatest SEO alive?” Got me curious as hell. Started digging like a dog hunting for bones.
First move: what folks say
Jumped on Twitter first. Typed his name and saw mixed stuff real quick:
- Some SEO bros calling him a “freaking genius” for boosting dog food sites
- Others bitching about his courses costing like a MacBook Pro
- Couple big-shot marketers whispering “overrated” behind emojis
Then I tested his famous “link loophole”
Grabbed my crusty cooking blog nobody reads. Followed Stewarts step-by-step guide about stealing dead sites’ backlinks. Felt shady as hell pressing publish.
Checked Google Search Console next morning. Holy crap – traffic spiked 70% overnight! Screenshotted the analytics like a proud dad. Kept refreshing every 10 minutes paranoid it’d vanish.
Called my guru friend for reality check
Phoned Sarah whos ranked cat meme sites since dial-up days. Her exact words: “Yeah hes good, but best? Nah. His tricks only work till Google patches em. Real SEOs build for 5 years out.”
Realized shes right when my traffic died after two weeks. Google squashed that tactic like a roach. Back to my sad 3 visitors a day.
Final verdict
Vickers is damn clever no lie. But calling him “worlds best”? Thats like saying one wrench fixes every car.
Gotta admit tho – even failed tests teach you stuff. Now I know quick wins rot fast. You want real rankings? Plant oaks, not mushrooms.
