Yes we give Google too much credit, but as a SEO dude it seems I have to follow and do what the mighty Google tells me because that is what my customers want and assume need to be done. Great article. I really like your site slightly shady SEO - we can all admit to being a little shady when it comes to her...
This shouldnt come as a surprise. I can see sites with thousands of keywords stuffed hidden at the bottom getting away with it, having to suffer the ignominious fate of being #1 on their important keywords for years.
FUD - Googles most important spam-fighting strategy.
Thoughtful analysis. Clearly any methods must be scaleable or they just wont happen on a consistent basis.
@seomike - agreed on the point that most seos would admit to being slightly shady. Slightly himself might be a bit more shady than the rest of us, but you cant compete these days without stepping into the shadows a bit.as for the google doc. does it really matter in the end? i mean, they can do whatever they want, whenever they want - which in itself is a problem.
