From the thought provoking article, "I say it over and over. Stop projecting your own beliefs onto Google, and start listening. Google is practically shouting at you, telling you how to rank well."

I personally find it interesting how people expound seo advice as if it’s written in stone when Google has never published the algo. Although through testing we can hypothosise what works and what doesn’t and even be correct. we can never really know.

You may not agree with the article but should prove fodder for discussion.

I’m impressed that anyone can spell nyeah, nyeah, nyeah! LOL Interesting article Lyndon. I left a comment in the blog and found what Andy Beard wrote there interesting as well. This probably isn’t the place to ask but has anyone come up with a Best Practices regarding where you decide to post what? There are too many places: in the blog, here, Digg, SU, etc., etc. Anyone have any tips or insights into making those decisions?

I find that’s the fun part of this Sphinn experiment, Rose. Sometimes Sphinn Threadjacks (steals the conversation away from the source blog). Sometimes it remains silent but sends traffic to the source blog. Sometimes, it prompts conversations at both places, with different perspectives. I vote that best practice is to do what you feel regarding joining a conversation. It’s all good, and some players are watching out for Sphinn while others watch out for the blogs, keeping things moving. I liked Cornwall’s representation of my post (the "nyeah nyeah nyeah" headline). Nice framing for Sphinn.

Look, as much as we don’t like it. Google is a great concept that we all wish we came up with. But truth be told, they are the top in our space and if we want to rule our space we will, sooner or later, have to play by their rules. I don’t like it, but it is what it is.
