I have to agree with that punch line :-). Tutorial, books, etc help you to get started, but you have to come up with something unique and useful to become an authority. Florchakh,

Choosing the right product isn't easy. That is why I decided to join SEO Book affiliate program to lead people to the good product. $79 is not much if you consider the value of it. I saw many ebooks not worth a penny. People were writing them only to make money. One of the best methods to make sure that ebook is worth spending your money is to read its author's blog. You can form an opinion after reading a few posts and comments. Plus all the things you mentioned above. Good post, Hamlet. I like your style of writing. I like the example of Sally and Edward.

I like your idea of targetting a sub-niech - never thought of that. This is obviously particularly useful in your field of SEO, where you are probably going to need 250,000 links and a quality site to be a major player. I think your point two of identifying authorities is a very important - Traffic. My site ranks well for a competative keyword, but because I have only just started providing quality content last week my traffic is much lower than other sites in the industry who don't rank for my term at all. Identifying what these high traffic sites are doing right to get so much traffic is vital to turn your site into a brut. PS - Your tool sounds very interesting. Look forward to seeing it.
