Very nice post Tedster.

>they get 3 uniques a day from the Search Engines.

That is nice work if you can get it.

I think one of the main problems in SEO is that people think that every tidbit or scrap of info directly applies to their site. It is hard to sort out which particular bit of information applies to an ecom site or an infotainment site.

As you said, it can vary wildly from site to site. Rankings are very important to entertainment or sites who's biz model is something other than product sales.

the entire search engine situation as we know it will be a short chapter in history. -Ted Aug 15, 2000

I've been saying this for almost two years. One woman even called SEW a tour of The Rise and Fall of Search Engine Promotion. That was a year and a half ago. I think we are farther along into the fall part than anyone realizes. With Inktomi now getting ready to sell results, Google playing gimmick games with links, Infoseek-Excite-Webcrawler all but dead - we have one foot in the grave.

The question becomes, how to live in a post Search Engine World?
