I ran into a conversation with another blogger who gave their theory on Google Page Rank in accordance to their site with little content and it was way off the deep in. They went further to say that they experimented for some time and came to their theory based on those results. However, upon asking for them, I was told that the site was private and so were the results.
For me, when someone responds that way, I say bullshit. Of course, excuse me for my language, but that is probably what some of you might also do.
It is important that if you are seriously conducting an experiment that may interest many people, that you do a thorough job. This does mean that you will have to list the factors that you were looking for, as well as your original hypothesis. Of course, after listing what was considered in the conclusion of the experiment, results are key.
These are what people look for and can see if what they are doing is also not working. Just telling people your opinion with no facts to back it up discredits you, especially if you are trying to build your authority in your niche.
I put together a little graphic stating this.

When you are supporting something it is imperative to have proof to back it up otherwise how others are going to believe you. Always think of the bigger picture, don’t be judgmental based on just your opinions or experiences.

yes I believe that actions speak louder than words. So we should definitely share our thoughts after our hard work and by our results..

HI Nile
Grat psot. It happened because you tried to make you knuckle touch the wall. When you tried it the second time your knuckle was not extended enough

Hey Nile! You know I feel the same as you on this one. I love the graphic you made to illustrate your point.
I think it’s important to educate people about doing valid case studies and how to back up blatant statements with some type of screenshots or other visual proof.
Thanks!

I always love your graphs to illustrate. This is an interesting point of view that you share, but it’s also an endless debate.

Hi Nile,
You are absolutely right about this, same thing goes when recommending a product or service to your readers. If you don’t have nothing to show for when telling your readers about a service than it’s most likely they will not purchase that service or product.
Love your graphics, have a great weekend Nile.
