Story: Optimize a Site Without Touching the Code

sometimes a consultant encounters a situation where the client spent 7 figures on a 100% flash site, or on some shitty cms they are stuck with, that wont allow them to change even a title tag (been there). in those cases, what choice does the consultant have but to a) tell them to scrap or rebuild the site / cms or b) do what he/she can with links to establish rankings and drive traffic? I think that's what shimon is getting at here - a scenario where the first choice may not be an option.

Why has Google banned advertisers from selling alcohol via Adwords, whereas Yahoo and MSN  have not done so via  the YSM or Adcenter program?  Is it that Yahoo and MSN cannot afford to take the hit on the lost revenue?

Google, have you run out of earth shattering products to release? If one is running a site that gets to the point where they need to block bots, they should have the basic skills to upload a simple notepad file, IMHO. Does anybody feel that this new tool has value to them?
