You know what bothers me?
Articles that tell people they should – definitely, absolutely, no-doubts-about-it – rely on PR to support their SEO strategy.
You know why it bothers me?
Because it’s like recommending someone to use a spoon for whisking eggs.
Will the spoon get you there at some point?
Sure.
Is it the most efficient way to whisk eggs?
Of course not.
All this to say that PR and link building have different objectives.
