Ly2fromWF is Rand Fishkin.
It's like Superman and Clark Kent.

The Rand persona was made to mislead the masses so Ly2fromWF can profit$$.
 


Next your gonna say Grindstone is Matt Cutts.

He's 100% against any type of link buying, against anything even close to grey hat, and preaches only white hat techniques based around "good content".

In other words he makes it easy for you to outrank the competition.

How about his price point? That's unreal.

I remember really enjoying and buying into SEOmoz when it was a free blog - at the time I felt like I needed that shit like oxygen.

Then he announced a subscription - and even though it was peanuts (I think $19 a month?) I bailed and never really went back.

And look what he's banking now. I missed Rand's "???" step.

So he is a hustler and a faggot, two closely linked characteristics since long before there was an internet.

That's a pretty standard mainstream guru technique.

Start blogging, build an audience, launch product to audience when you have established your brand and user base.

Eli did it with SQUIRT, Rand did it with SEOmoz, and I might end up doing it with these webinars.

He's a pretty good entrepreneur, but his glamour photos and half beard are very disturbing.
