@ergophobe:

I've heard this over and over again..."if people knew how google's algorithm works exactly then everybody would rank #1"...and share your opinion.

Only do I believe it's much easier to debunk :-) - Google uses certain factors in their algorithm that cannot be influenced that easily even if you know they use them (which is perhaps one of the reasons why they started to use off-page factors not just on-page factors).

Best example: We all know we need/could use tons of quality links, however most people really don't know how to get those.
