I don't think this article is referring to rewriting posts (I hate that too).  I think it's just that we should be getting ideas from others on "how" to do things better.  I like to study "the masters" to see how they do things, and I have learned a lot from them.

Excellent article.  Some very good lessons to be learned.  Thanks! P.S.  I wonder if the underscores rather than dashes helps too:  Animal_Farm rather than animal-farm: it just looks better and less spammy.

So far, all the forums I have tried have been a waste of time for me.  You have to read through so much stupid stuff to find anything good.  Sphinn is so much better, because it is easy to find the good stuff.

On Reddit, if it loosely fits under "programming", it helps to submit to the programming Reddit. The users there seem nicer, and they will read an article even if it has been downvoted.

I agree 100% with the statement, "The best policy for dealing with Google’s policy on link selling is to ignore it." I don't let Google dictate to me how to run my own site. Who appointed them to make the rules?
