Sounds like one of my recent pubcon conversations... someone should have bought that guy a few more beers around the middle of the story... then we'd learn which ones are still working ;-)

More seriously, many people went from that sort of thing to MFA pages and then to arbitrage where they killed it for almost two years. The insights came from the poke-test process just like described.

That was a great post.  And proof as to why Portland should be known as the search capitol and not Seattle. ;)

Funny what a difference 10 years can make . . . . .

Good article, but I had to vote down SEOhack's comment. Everyone knows Seattle is the Search Capital of the World:

and I have to vote down Mr. McGee's comment as we all know that article was horribly flawed! ;)
