Why are Links so Powerful?

When we write stuff about ourselves, we have a tendency to lie. It is human nature to boost your own worth. This is why meta tags and page copy are nowhere nearas powerful as they once were. They have been used and abused.

You can do many manipulative things to make your ideas appear better than they
are, but if you can find more natural ways to embed yourself in the social structure of the web, you will likely become extremely successful.
