This is Darryl. And its been interesting to see how a singlep ost has generated some interesting conversation.

So.. i think its a good idea that i provide the context to Yaro’s recent post.

The post came from an internal forum where a non SEO entrepreneur was concerned that his google adwords campaign would somehow reduce his rank in yahoo…which of course.. is somewhat absurd and rightfully needed to be clarified.

This person clearly needed some basic SEO guidance and to understand how the search engines function.

I gave permission to Yaro to use the private post in his blog because the post was (and is) a general guideline on how to build a quality site with both the user and search engines in mind. It is SEO 101 for the new entrepreneur. Plain and simple…. nothing “insiderish” about it .. sorry
As for specifics, such as domain registration, pr announcements and related tips, again comes down to some common sense and best practices.

If you throw up a spammy dhased domain registered for one year and put out a free press release with no substance, quality or merit… then expect to receive the same low quality back from users (and engines).

In the end… you can apply the 16 tips ..and the hundreds of others that great SEOs provide on a frequent basis. The takeaway here… is sinply this… if you build something… build it right… and build it in a way that helps your audiience.
