		<description>I have called in on this location on many an instance now but this post is the 1st one that I have ever commented on.

Congratulations on such a first-rate critique and site. I have found it to be very helpful and educational - I only wish that there were more blogs online like this one.

I never disappear from this blog without learning anything, from time to time I may feel a tiny bit saddened that I may not agree with a blog article or comeback that has been made. But hey! that is existence and if every one decided to agree on the same thing what a boring old world we would exist in.

Please maintain your admirable work.

Having said all of this, and if I&#039;m kindly allowed to continue with my entries I will come again to post on your blog site soon


Cheers, have a great day and thank you.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s sad that we get lumped into the banned area, but it&#039;s not like they don&#039;t have good reason. We are straight arrow white hat SEO, but we have to live with this stuff. There is so much bunk offered as SEO that isn&#039;t.

We have been recruiting web designers for subcontractor work for our SEO biz. The last two candidates sites offer SEO services, yet they haven&#039;t preformed the basics on there own website! 

Since we can not change the industry as a whole, we strive to be the best we can be, and call it good. I think it&#039;s called leading by example.</description>

		<description>I agree with Lee. It&#039;s wrong to say that all SEO Blogs are guilty of fooling or cheating the search engines result. The way they categorize blogs really need to change.</description>

		<description>Lee preaches, &quot;christian, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You have yours and I have mine, which includes no link for you. &quot;

-----------

wha ha ha ha... you so clever.

Lee, do you really think I am interested in a link from you. First of all, this  entire thread ended up in gmail&#039;s spam folder for whatever that&#039;s worth. I happened to see it and come back to see what others had to say about your post.

Feel free to de-link me at any time. Surprisingly, I will still sleep well at night, and my clients will continue rolling with a winner.

The funny thing about you talking heads is that to those of us in the trenches, working SEO and Internet Marketing every single day, you are very transparent. --- SEO bloggers remind me of the old saying, &quot;those that CAN, do ...those that CAN&#039;T, teach&quot;

I suppose there is a use for the talking head blogging crew. You know that young-buck marketing guy that just got hired who needs some quick buzzwords for his upcoming conference attendance? ...yep, that&#039;s your audience.

Carry on brutha&#039; ...while the talking heads come and go, those of us that have been knee deep in the technical swamp choose a better badge of honor - true knowledge.</description>

		<description>Richard, you are of course, talking about a chicken before the egg scenario. SEO makes indexing easier and more accurate for the engines, which makes the most relevant content to be presented to users in the search results. Without traffic to a web site there&#039;s not chance of anyone buying anything. ie, SEO delivers people to the door of the store, but it doesn&#039;t necessarily make them buy.</description>

		<description>Hey,  wordpress.com is the best place to have a few splogs.  Google indexes content from wordpress.com in less than an hour,  and you can update your splogs with a convenient XML-RPC interface.

Just don&#039;t get caught!</description>

		<description>Am I wrong, or are there a lot of stupid people out there. Having good SEO may make you a penny a click, but if your site is not made for people then people are not going to buy product.</description>

		<description>There definitely needs to be some clarification there :)  But then again anyone who knows even a pinch of SEO would never use a domain.wordpress.com blog.  No way to 301 it after you get bored of the project :)</description>
