wicked1,

>>They would have save me about 100 hours of research 12-18 months ago<<



Yeah- I'd say that is about right.

>>Experience is your best guide.

Indeed. It's all perspective. For everyone who gets knocked down there are an equal # of thrilled people who get slung to the top.

>>>One thing I do know is the ones that know the most actually say the least<<<

Yep.



Actually, I can jabber on if it will help put someone at ease or maybe provide a tip or two they haven't read before.

The only thing I've been leaning towards last 3 months or so is to go 'more natural'. Be optimized, but don't stick out like ya hired an SEO to tweak the hell out of every page.

I have noticed the stonger pages tend to be a *bit* more loose in their structure. Sorta...fly just under the Google SEO radar.

It's really just a gut thing though based on a few dozen results from my perspective.

>>>Quite often the answer is right in front of your face on the screen,you just need to work out what the question the googlebot asked to get that result.. <<

Sure. It's sorta funny on the whole build one quality site with good content mantra...

Sure, that is true. So, I guess if I build a really informative site on Jenna Jameson I'll be on Page 1 in no time. LOL.


Oddly, not many people ask, "Hey, GoogleGuy, my competition has 100+ domains many keyword rich- and Google doesn't seem to care much about spam in adult searches. How can I build a site to get to Page 1 for a broad phrase that is super competitive and has 3-5 million results? Oh. They've been in DMOZ since the year of the flood with perfect anchor text and therefore have like 300 links just from DMOZ dumps. Oh. They also have friends who seem to also own 100-300 domains and they help each other out. Oh. Also, they seem to pay a LOT for banners on fairly high PR sites. if I write the highest quality page regarding the search phrase will that overcome the above mentioned tactics?"

Nope- don't see that much, eh?

Google updates are endless fun and should be sold as Xmas presents to easily agitated webmasters.
