Good stuff Patrick, keep it up. When you’re on your game you’re an A list blogger.

Nanny Shinning’ and Patrick writing....snap....got to give it up!! Great piece, you obviously put some ’elbow grease’ into it and gave a great 10,000ft.. macro perspective about site usability and theory, not just "SEO" #4) "Trends are important. Use them to decide what not to do" - is ’social media’ not a trend? Thanks for the posting....

Great post! You have a point about the trends and I especially like point 2. Traffic is really the goal and good SERPs are only the tools.
