I came across this today:
http://www.newfangled.com/how_to_do_...mization_video

I didn't watch the video but, I did read the article. Some interesting notes:
"If a search engine is like a librarian, then search engine optimization is like being a librarian's assistant."

"The first task is to properly identify the main subject of every page. Subject identification is a discipline that must be done dispassionately. We need to be careful not to let our natural self-interest influence this effort. This is library science, not library lobbying."

"The golden rule of search engine optimization: as a page's content matches the searcher's intent, the better the results will be."

An interesting way to think about it, but I think the analogy fits. They hit the nail on the head about matching the searcher's intent. That's why Google has made all their money. Their ads more closely match searchers' intents than any other contextual ad providers. My hope is that semantic search, in one form or another, will really take off.

When I teach SEO basics seminars I speak of search engines as electronic libraries... So this really works for me.

I guess everyone know about his tips - very basic tips. Newbies will get best results as he tried to explain in non-technical language.

Hey Paul ,
Thanks for the link. I like keeping up on things.
Does Forum post duplication lessen search ratings?
Is that effect on the forum or the poster?
