Derek Powazek takes the SEO industry to task. (This is the sort of rant I can get behind.) The comments are pretty interesting as well, since a bunch of SEO people show up to try and defend themselves.

This is a post from my link log: If you click the title of this post you will be taken the web page I am discussing.

  1. A follow up post: SEO FAQ

  2. And this is a pretty well thought out follow-up / critique of what Derek wrote: Dear Derek Powazek: SEO is a Legitimate Profession. I think one issue in all this is that what some people call SEO, Derek calls good web design.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
