If nothing else it confirms that some of the SEO recommendations I make to clients are also things Google recommends... to itself.

tedster, it is kind of nice and helpful to hear that even you have your own doubts from time to time and need sometime reassurance to keep you going.

I did not have time to read whole report but I found this on the first page:

"Search engine optimization affects only organic search results, not paid or "sponsored" results, such as Google AdWords."

Personally, I disagree totally with above statement. From my experience, nothing is farther from truth because you cannot have the optimal MONEY wise results from AdWords without good SEO, which can improve the quality score of your pages and CTR, and conversions.
