I couldn’t have said it any better myself.

Aren’t those little drummers (topics) exactly what is interesting and get you moving higher in the SERPs? Let me see: I think that SEO is here to stay. Grey is a great color that goes with just about everything. Buy some links. Keyword density is for the birds. Blog comments are good. Rankings matter, duh. No certification. Google is evil. Ethics is always important, after all Aristotle wrote about them! I wish I was Matt’s new best friend because then I’d be rich.
Happy new year,
Kris

You know what they say about insanity….it’s doing the same thing over and over and over, and expecting to get a different result.

SEO is not dead, there is many ways to rank even in a post panda world. Build good content and build links to it. You will be ranking in no time. Just keep beating the drum.

Those who know what they are doing, just do it. Those who don’t yammer on about how to do it. The loudest drummer in the room is most likely the one who knows the least, yet lots of people follow the loud drum.

Copyedit note (remove after reading): things are that; people are who. “And fine, maybe those of us that blog abut SEO …” should be “…who blog…”

Thanks for the mention, Joel. Ironically, that post is now pretty played out to me and I wrote it very early on my blog – I actually am not a fan of writing about people, but I am a fan of writing about tactics that haven’t been talked about before. I try to do that.

And of course, solid points, Lisa. Sometimes find myself a bit swept up in it but definitely try and stay away from it as much as possible. It solves nothing besides offering entertainment for our brains, which is to say something, but we sure as hell aren’t building anything when we argue with the white hat brigade.

Got it! So write attention getting stuff, just don’t write about topics that annoy you. No wait! Don’t seek attention, make things. It’s settled, I will never blog again.

Reminds me a bit of Ross Hudgens’ post about why SEO blogging sucks: http://www.rosshudgens.com/seo-blogging-sucks/

The industry is chalk full of people spewing the same messages over and over and over again. Everyone paying lip service to these awesome platitudes and then doing the same goofy crap at the end of the day.

Good post.
