What is some totally **incorrect** SEO advice you've heard of? Anything bizarre? Heads up, people: There is NO SUCH THING as `rel="follow"` or `rel="do-follow"`!! There is `rel="nofollow"` and `rel="ugc"` and `rel="sponsored"` and everything else is followed by default. Please stop classifying links as do-follow.
