How Not To Link To Us

The good folks at Mirametrix asked if we were interested in custom eye-tracking data (which traditionally costs a small fortune) for any Google searches. Um, does Matt Cutts like cats?

And that’s exactly why I wrote this. You may have been burned by shoddy SEOs in the past, who took your money gladly but failed to deliver much value in terms of search engine traffic.
