maybe linkbait...
but it has a lot of good examples, seo is really something overlooked here, and it is relevant to this site obviously

#4I actually found this quite interesting. Although most people would love to grow virally through word of mouth, top search rankings bring in enormous amounts of traffic day after day. I know of blogs that haven't updated in years that still get hundreds of visits per day solely from Google.

#5yes that is true..that was one of the reason we tried to gather news on VC&Startups and SEO/SEM in our site at naubo.com under the blogs section. The ideas was to make it useful and raise the issue as they go hand and hand...

#6One site I used to manage used to have an unexplained high ranking for "animal porn"... talk about the gravy-train.
But seriously, thanks for the article. SEO is definitely one of those areas that hackers tend to downplay in significance, probably because it's not rocket science to learn or implement. Not to mention it introduces a bunch of generic looking language on your page. Ie: just having Adpinion in the title bar may be worth the gain in aesthetic alone... just a thought...

#9I found the post ridiculously condescending. Insinuating we are idiots and then stating 'For fuck's sake people - get a clue.' and then attacking specific small startups unprovoked does not seem like a very proper way to spread the word for your company or SEO in general. Unfortunately, I'm sure the post has garnered the desired attention by 'dropping the F bomb for the first time'.
I would hope search optimization is really important to SEOmoz given it's their entire concentration as a company. But, I work in a startup as well. Our concentration is not in the field of search optimization. When we have a spare moment or the resources to tackle SEO, I am sure we will. In the meantime, I would refrain from calling me and those in similar positions idiots.

#10I always thought that "SEO" was some basic good practices wrapped in a bunch of snake oil. At the last place I worked at a full time job, we had an "SEO expert" come in, and the boss and I concluded that 1) he was basically full of it, and that 2) the boss had a good handle on what needed doing to make various things visible. Just one anecdote, but there seem to be a lot of dubious people touting their "SEO" credentials.
