Was just getting ready to write about this for my niche. Would be better to get some input from some of you, and site as authorities. I'm sending emails. :)
28. They have been working on search engine optimisation for 20 years

*and if they can't spell optimization....run for the door!!!
Great list....
Huh?
That's the UK spelling of the word. Looks fine to me.
I am not going to suggest they get a rubber out and change that.
Had someone contact me once claiming 100 years of combined team SEO experience.
I love when they don't have an answer as to why WebPosion reports are not absolute any more.

It is Snake-Oil, not Snake Skin.
The "give me your top ten keywords and we'll ensure you rank on those" is enough to piss me off. Clearly don't know the purpose or value in good SEO and obviously don't know what they're doing
Nice list but TheSearchBuzz 's comment is dumb - it's how we spell it and how its listed in the English Dictionary - America does not rule the world
Got to admit, I find the list very naive - seems to be focused on on-page SEO, and even then, some of the statements invite misreading. Seems more tongue-in-cheek than serious, though. :)
I think Tim was trying to be cute. He's a wonderful scientist actually. :)
Which statements are misleading ;) perhaps those on page SEO types might be able to help a search marketer out.
and yes it was totally tongue in cheek, but I'm certainly not cute.
as for the snake skin vs snake oil, I think its corrctly snake skin oil sellers, but when I was travelling in north africa we were always told to avoid the snake skin sellers so its sort of stuck sorry if it caused confusion.
Yeah, but that's because they don't actually sell the oil in North Africa, heh.
Also, they do gris-gris from snakeskins there, so it's a fear-of-black-magic thing rather than a "don't get conned" attitude.
(Now this post has hit the home page, we might as well hijack the thread, eh? LOL)
They do sell oil in Africa - just limited refining capacity so they ship that out to the USA for that. :)
As for statements on the list - those who specialise in link development have no need to modify a site and certainly don't require server access. Certainly advise and recommendations where required. But link development is a hands-off process. :)
I think it was more to do with the snake skin handbags being plastic then fear of black magic ;) But they certainly were selling snake oils, both for medicinal purposes but more as an agent for polishing leather.
iBrian I think you have highlighted exactly the attidude that I was refering to Search engine optimisation is a complete discipline, Link development is a single part if the company has no interest in the site then they are not going to be optimising it are they
Definately.... there are people around claiming to bring ur website on top but they fail to do so and even i was a victim of such... rather than that i manage to get my self to learnign SEO and i got the results far from what other commit... though im not first on google for my 2 keywords but as i work though i manage to be on the first page of google search after 2 weeks of launching my blog... currently working on the thir keyword...

" 40. The key to ranking well in Google is to do the Google dance." Is that the "two step" or the"electric slide"?
"Search engine optimisation is a complete discipline, Link development is a single part if the company has no interest in the site then they are not going to be optimising it are they"
SEO is a very diverse discipline - a lot of people come to me already optimised, but lacking links. Hence little need to modify the site already.
Now if I could just find someone who can build quality links....
alas the search continues.....
What's even more worrying is the number of clients who 'shop around' for an SEO company and pretty much spout half of this list and ask what directories we submit to, how many Digg submissions we'll do each day, and my all-time favourite retort to our pledge to concentrate on natural optimisation (heard at least twice a day) - "So is it just meta tags and stuff?"
It's a laugh or cry industry sometimes, but it actually quite humbles me to know that we're one of the ones doing things the right way!
