I am with TheDevil on this one. 

I don't think that Findlaw/Thomson Reuters is all that concerned.   They are one of the, if not the largest information service companies in the world last time I checked.

This is probably more of a shot across the bow than anything.

sorry to correct but in my mind:

SWAG= stuff we all get

SCHWAG= dirt weed that gives you headaches and munchies

....that said, the headline still works.

How are items that someone's decided to share publicly and which weren't written by them considered "private"?

my friends don't need to know that I subscribe to "Poodles-doing-double-dutch dot com**.
...just cause society has placed a stigma on watching small dogs jump rope.

**don't try and go there it doesn't exist.... on a side note: if anyone has a couple of poodles, a jump rope and a video cam....drop me a line; I just had a flash of brilliance ;)

coming from the client side, a lot of this is fairly frieghtening.  

I would guess that most on the client side would assume: that anything that you do for me that I pay you for, would be my "property" QS included.

thats just plain funny I don't care who you are.

I especially like this quote:

"To us, the type of SEO attacks revealed this week are only a few steps away from what tons of bloggers/websites do every day: purposely try to game search engines just so they can get more hits to their site, and by extension, maybe make a few extra dollars."

if you'll kindly redirect some of that AOL traffic I will be happy to stop attempting to "game" the system.

when will people finally realize that essentially SEO= Online Marketing

but I guess it matters not because SE0> marketing>sales... and we all know selling things is bad.

laughable.

Not so sure that I agree with all that.

I can't get onboard with the adwords>> name squeeze landing page.

From what I have read on forums clicks for name squeeze landing pages are thru the roof.

but yelp has that tasty 18-35 demo and they tend to be "mavens" or "connectors" in Gladwellian parlance.

from here on out I am only going to respond with gordon lightfoot lyrics in honor of Marty I give you:

"The legend lives on from the chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called gitche gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of november turn gloomy"

thats not the problem...the problem in the argument lies in how you define an "average" blogger.

won't that just tell me how many websites they had before they added the code to that particular website?

might be a neat way to get a look at the "growth" of a developer or domainer if you already had a list of their sites...you could put their sites in a sort of chronological order and try and see where their heading.

sorry about the ambiguity, obviously Mahalo is a latent attack on the practice of SEO. 

What I mean to ask is how long till Mahalo puts up a "how to" on SEO like this one on using Analytics?

While avatars do have good inherent branding qualities, am I the only one that thinks that they are also bad; in that they perpetuate the incestuous nature of SEO and the blogosphere in general.

sorry I just get frustrated when this place is taken over with groupthink....(blogrush, pagerank, etc)

my fantasy wordpress plugin would be one that when you press submit....summarizes your post, checks it against the blogosphere and then replies "post denied:value add not found"

my perspective
content network = brand building, anything more is gravy
search network = the honey biscuit

 as long as I can get a dime for every nickel I give you, guess who's gonna have a lot of nickels?

"but as long as third party services (TLA etc) use PageRank (not to mention the general public some of whom may buy advertising etc) it will matter. "


---therein lies the problem....why would google who is waging war on paid links hand them a valuation tool.

I agree pagerank will soon be the equivalent of cyber-yeti. 

I did like this part "Aunt Mary or Uncle Joe will give a toss about it? They’ll still type in the URL or click on the bookmark icon faithfully because they want to get the info-fix they need."

--we all get so deep we forget to come up for air.....chances are your aunt an uncle never type teh url or bookmark the page...they just go to google and type "washington post"  Every time I tell my dad to type in an url to show him something....straight to the search bar not the address bar.  Heck Uncle Joe probably has cool search from installing weather bug; he may never find it.
