ANYWAY I'm sure there no pure SEO geniuses outside of Google since they are the ones behind flushing out bad content from the SERPs but at least you have the actual education to put into your... Subject matter.
Personally I feel Google has taken their "fight against BlackHats" way WAY too far, to the point where it's now hitting everyone no matter what they're doing. Hell, these days I feel you need to know more about protecting your site against the GoogleSlap, than how to promote it!
I mean really, even doing guest posting on other blogs, is now considered "unnatural link Building", and because your profile on those other blogs have the same information every time you post, it is then considered keyword stuffing your anchor text. And then there's the Whole issue, that now "negative SEO" has actually become a tactic to destroy competitors rankings, which is just insane. "Oh, it's ok, you have the Disavove Tool!" - yeah, sure, if I want to spend literally dozens of hours going through literally tens of thousands of links. Sure, that sounds just great, Google! I'll get right on that, thanks!
Now, don't get me wrong: 3 years ago, when you could just spam out literally tens of thousands of forum profile links and rank for that, yes, that was silly. But this is just taking it too far. Not to mention their mafia-like tactics:
When the "warning of unnatural link Building" warnings started going out, do you know what happened? If you disavoved the bad links, submitted for reconsideration, people started getting the following reply back from Google: "If you share details on the SEO Company that you have used, this may increase your chances of getting your website reconsidered" - I kid you not, Google basically blackmailing people into giving out information (so Google can, for instance, go in and completely remove entire blog Networks, and so on). I'm amazed stuff like that is even legal.
Not to mention that Google penalizes sites for scraping content, yet Google Images, Google News, Google Products are all built on scraping content from other sources - so it's OK for Google to do, but not for you.
So if you hadn't guessed, I'm not a big Google fan these days
Your right, there is absolutely NOTHING that delves deep into Youtube, purely for Youtubers. Go to Clickbank (or some other site), oh look another crappy PDF by people who also want me on their lists so they can email swap with other "gurus" I've never heard of, that's just what I was looking for!!!
I have nothing against PDFs, if the content is good. But the problem is: the content isn't good. Same goes for most websites out there, really. They just say the same Things over and over Again, that really, anyone could figure out: "Put the keyword in the title. Remember to add tags! Put it on your facebook page! Bla bla bla". Really, just reading the official YouTube guide, on youtube, would tell you more than that. And yes, somehow they always all end in basically saying "So now you know what to do, but it won't Work unless you get this product, that just happens to cost 29.99$, and is an affiliate".
