But I couldn't agree more with the article. Despite what many people think or say or write (and maybe it just makes for better articles and headlines) Google is not evil - they have a rather significant interest in serving their clients (the searching masses) as well as possible. Provide them content that their masses will like and follow a few relatively simply rules, ahem...I mean guidelines....and you shouldn't have a problem! Except for all the others not playing by the guidelines..... What happens if you get bit by the shark? But I couldn’t agree more with the article.

I think that grasping the fact that an adversarial relationship doesn't exist is one of the needed steps to attaining SEO maturity. Excellent article.

You describe the symbiotic relationship between "good" SEO's and search engines. And even though they aren't out there to get the so called "bad" SEO's. When the exploiting of a loophole real get's out of hand it will be noticed and will be fixed. This way even the parasite SEO's will serve their purpose in the symbiotic relation.

I suppose the 20/80 rule applies: Twenty percent of the work (preparation) accounts for eighty percent of the results.

The conversion is then largely a function of usability, site structure and of course the quality of your product/service, customer service, reputation and competitive pricing.

Ramer Mon, 10 Nov 2008 16:34:11 +0000 http://www.webuildpages.com/blog/?p=238#comment-287 I agree that content publishing is the safest, and most sustainable way to build significant traffic to a website. When using this strategy though, it's easy to get focused on the numbers of visitors and lose sight of the actual business numbers: visitors that become customers via a conversion. How can we make sure that the content prequalifies potential customers. If we don't do that, aren't we just wasting our time?
