One of the best freaking posts I’ve seen on an "SEO blog" in a long time. Kudos QG, kudos.

Everyone with the slightest interest in SEO should read this post.  It’s great to hear about some of the "at a glance" things that quality raters will notice about a site, especially when it comes straight from the horse’s mouth (not that I’m calling QualityGal a horse or anything :-D )

Great summary, I particularly hate those long copy sales letters, they just remind me of readers digest junk mail!

I love it. So well written. I would like to show this to a client the next time they want a giant "resources" page to copy their competitor’s "SEO" tactics.
