<description><![CDATA[David Wallace points out that keyword stuffing turns copy into garbage.&quot;This is a reminder that when employing an SEO strategy, it is important to keep your visitors in mind. While it is necessary to have good visibility in the search engines, it is even more important to be able to convert the users that do end up visiting your site into paying customers.&quot;<br/><br/>24 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm finding that a fairly large number of the articles posted here at Sphinn are blog posts by people I haven't heard of, about really basic information: how to get links, not to use hidden text, making sure you optimize for the right keywords, etc.I don't want to seem like a search snob here, and I don't have a problem with reading articles by people I don't know. I'm sure lots of people here don't know who I am. I just wonder if a site designed as a community for professionals has a place for information for beginners, and I tend to think that most of the people I've never heard of are beginners trying to get their names out there.As the guidelines say, &quot;News submissions should lead to substantial or interesting material&quot; and I'm sure a blog post on how Google was founded by these two guys at Stanford is substantial and interesting to lots of people, but I think that most of the community for which the site was designed just has no use for that kind of thing. Of course, if I've misunderstood what Danny had in mind I apologize. It's about 4 am here, so if I'm coming off as an ass let's blame it on that. And I get that basic articles are likely to get sphunn less than others, thereby allowing the cream to rise to the top, but I subscribe to the &quot;what's new&quot; feed -- I don't want to miss something good that might get overlooked by the community. That sometimes puts me in the position of an MD opening up a copy of JAMA or the Lancet and seeing &quot;Your Skeleton and You -- Friends for Life&quot; in the table of contents.<br/><br/>20 Vote(s) ]]></description>
