Loads of food for thought (I hope you like the cake tie in there) for me and sites I manage. I'd have liked to have heard more about your experiences building links and any tips for doing so. Any good resources you could recommend? Hi Nick,

A wonderful book. Advertising is dead. PR is king. SEO is not about ads - it is about eanbling people to discover you site. Try suggesting "The Fall of Avertising & the Rise of PR by some people who are still alive Al and Laura Ries. Why people like you actually think you can write copy that will magically make me decide to make an impulse buy, I have no idea what you are smoking. I search for my keywords when I am shopping - all one can do is STD (stack the deck) to bring me to their site so I can find what I am looking for - once I am there, no amount of the rubbish you describe above would sway me one way or another.

As for wikiseek, I don't see the great preformance vaue in it. Wiki-style search is a different ball game. If you mean human interaction or user moderation to the search results, take a look at Sproose, which I founded on that very principle. Users don't write the results, but they do vote- rank and share them. A model of algo's and human input. well, wikipedia is a great resource and I think will be around for a long time.

I think of my personal wikipedia experiences HERE and the laughable case of the linkbait page where all the references to Matt Cutts the google engineer and blogger were savagely culled. They were only reinstated after uproar from the SEO community. Fools. So in conclusion, I see too much power with too few. fast erosion of goodwill. open day for the spamming community. dictatorship with a community front. Too many things on the boil at one time. And the core principles of ‘give and take’ being eroded with Wiki. All this will probably come to an unhappy ending much like DMOZ [...] [...] 5. ever heard of a wiki nazi? with any society, when the ‘police’ get out of control it turns ugly.

The problem with most SEOs is that when it comes to explaining LSI they often provide no how-to math procedures, but forms speculations or myths with no scientific basis. One thing is to talk in a seo book/blog about how LSI myth work and something different is providing how-to instructions leading to the computation of SVD scores. I have taken the time to expose these SEO snakeoil sellers through a tutorial series on SVD and LSI. Most definitely, LSI does not work as some of the above links suggest, nor as how most SEOs are telling their clients. Dr. E. Garcia Thank you for quoting my site and referring to LSI.
