I'm with you on this B.
The best posts, in my opinion, are those you can generalize from to other industry aspects.
Well done Claire.

Of course I know what you mean B.
You're not the only one, by the way - many other bloggers and SEO professional dove right into the matter and published hundreds of "Defense of SEO" posts and articles. You're in good company man :)

Hi Rob,
I can't agree more - long tail keywords are definitely the way to go, especially in the case of a relatively small business in a competitive niche.
As for linking to your sitemap, it's somewhat redundant. Just go on link building and update your content often - you'll be indexed and crawled for sure.

I say, no matter how you start out and where your blogging adventure leads you eventually, it's always a combination of passion and cash at some point down the road.

The "newsworthiness" of topics is temporary, and in today's media reality it is also short-lived. Jumping on the bandwagon is popular and some may even claim that it's necessary if a media venue is to survive, let alone to become and remain successful. This, in my opinion, holds true but more in the case of conventional (offline) media than in that of online information sources.
As conventional media outlets find it harder and harder to gain and retain audience (=customer base), online venues have less trouble with the above - mostly because they are available to whomever and they've got databases of information stored (unlike a conventional newspaper, which is limited in page count and general volume).
I most buzz cases, online media tap in very quickly to take advantage of the generated traffic, and they tap out just as fast when the buzz dies out. Conventional media should be (and generally are) more careful with this, since they are in a medium of higher obligation to ethics, professionalism etc.

The thing is, with untruths spreading around so quickly we sometimes seem to give much more weight to the viral spread rate of the above and forget that they die out as fast as they disseminate. That's a large part of what makes the online medium so dynamic and never a bore.
Trying to stop the spread, or at least to contain it to some degree, is a respectable goal but not necessarily a realistic one.

Hi Benin,
Experience, emotion and reason might seem to conflict sometimes, but the fact of the matter is that when push comes to shove that's the only way we're able to reach decisions with our limited computational abilities.
As far as the death of SEO goes - this is not the first time there's a buzz around SEO becoming redundant, and every single time the field of SEM has adapted to the shifting reality around it. I'm not at all concerned :)
