    I’m glad, honestly glad, that you’re savvy enough to understand how good SEO can be incorporated into web development. I wish more web developers could do the same. But my experience has been that much good SEO gets overlooked. There are bad SEOs out there, who give the entire industry a bad name — just as there are bad bloggers, bad designers, bad cops, you name it. There are also excellent SEOs who work inside of companies as well as through agencies for hire. Don’t tarnish an entire industry that actually helps many, many people in ways I’m sure you would agree with.

    • And the stuff that you think isn’t rocket science — that anyone knows — is indeed a mystery to others.
      • This is basically the part of the argument I agree with here. The post he's responding to is a rant, but a rant by someone who knows what he's talking about. A lot of people don't really understand what SEO is, much less what qualifies as legit SEO. The thing is, there are no real "secrets." Just stuff that's out there for those with the time or interest to look it up.

        People with a message to get out there may not be web developers. Usually if they really do have a message, they aren't web developers.

    Why does Google even need a chief economist? The simplest reason is that the company is an economy unto itself. The ad auction, marinated in that special sauce, is a seething laboratory of fiduciary forensics, with customers ranging from giant multinationals to dorm-room entrepreneurs, all billed by the world's largest micropayment system.
