E879: I break down one of the most powerful lessons from the last decade of SEO - why shortcut tactics (including AI spam, auto-posting, link networks, and churn-and-burn SEO hacks) may work briefly but ultimately destroy long-term results.
We talk: - The 2012 Penguin update and how it nuked overnight success - AI-generated spam content, backlink schemes, and what's happening now - Why you cannot outsmart Google's detection teams - The dangers of chasing short-term wins vs. the power of consistent, white-hat strategy - How to focus, commit, and build a real business that compounds over years - Real-world examples from founders, including my conversation with Julian Goldie - The "pick one thing and stick with it for 10 years" lesson that could change your trajectory
Key takeaway: Stop jumping from tactic to tactic. Stop trying to outsmart algorithms. Focus on sustainable practices, bottom-of-funnel keywords, and long-term commitment. That's how you win.
