Nice post Page. I am going to disagree here and point out a few things, if anything, because that read went down like warm milk with butter and honey.

The document reads much more like a definite guide to html and elements that it does as the Ultimate SEO Guide to html.

Sure, proper usage of elements is important for many reasons. Unfortunately, I would have to say that it plays a relatively small part in what we would deem 'effective SEO' today. <Feel free to present arguments here>

If anything, I see the layout of the website as whole, as it relates to how documents reference each other as a much more important factor. In fact, at the moment, I see website layout with the proper inbounds trumping on-page "anything" including proper use of elements.

Not to say that the resource isn't extremely helpful for some of us who work in the more competitive genres and need the edge (in addition to the fact that we love this stuff)

Feel free share your thoughts....
