I do not believe in private SEO forum/tips etc. anymore as a professional SEO. There are no tips that can be kept private for long. Knowing something first does not mean you are ahead of the others. There are hundreds, even thousands of people in these forums paying the same fees, and these people are more than likely your competitors; the value is nothing in the long run. Especially if you are the one contributing to the private sections of the sites in any shape or form than your precious info is precious no more. And just the fact that you are hidden behind the money/password barrier of a private forum does not mean that tip is hidden from the search engines. The beautiful tips about getting a link from a weakness is not worth anything any more when search engines hear about it. If you know something; keep it to yourself; because no one is a God that needs to be praised and shared information with. Most of the SEOs out there (including myself) scream from the rooftops that SEO is marketing and marketing is SEO but at the end of the day, all SEOs know that SEO is also about an algorithm with strengths and weaknesses that we probe to discover every single day. Marketers have always talked and bragged about accomplishments and tricks (even in the pre-internet days) but they never had a morality police AKA Google watching every single day to kill the beauty of marketing other than the one done its own way.
