I love the core philosophy very, very much.

I have one problem with the first point of the post, though: there's not a single SE (apart from Google) that's interested in having evangelists. I'd go out of my way to love them, but they suck. Suck. Suck. I can't get myself to be enthusiastic about them.

And my bonus tip :-) Advertise your domain name through PPC. Your rankings are not yours. Your traffic from SEs is not yours. It can be gone any day.

But your content and your domain is. Make them as valuable as you can: content through continuous development; domain through a low-intensity, cheap but steady ad campaign.

SZA, glad you liked the philosophy :D.

As to sucking, Yahoo has a great engine that helps me find stuff that I frequently won't see on Google. Re: Ask, they're good for some niches/types of search and bad at others, admittedly.

Aewsome additional tips, incidentally! That's really cool stuff :D.
