So after google delisted many websites for their most competitive terms I wrote an article about what happened. At the same time you have probably the only "major" SEO firm in Rhode Island writing articles telling people they should used dased domains.
Read Choosing a Domain Name for Search Engine Optimization Purposes and then read
my artilce.

Which one seems more honest, more correct?

I guess I am the one who is a fool for wondering why some people want to hire me over some of the "best in the world."
