“I think the wide range of problems that we have to deal with and all the different solutions that you can find, like someone can fix everything or not fix everything, but you can do a lot and get results with links, you can do a lot with content, you can do a lot with technical SEO. So just all the paths you can take to achieve a similar goal. I just find that fascinating.” – Gus Pelogia
