sure..

those are the two main ones...

i think what it boils down to is making it algorithm friendly all while making it normal looking and aesthetically pleasing to the surfer... make it informative, but also make them love your site...

The more relevant and simple it is, the better the SEO... organically...

Now the way 'I' feel.. surfers search for things, they click on the first 1 maybe 3 links.. if seo is done right they should find what they want within those sites...

say there is site A and site B... A is very simple, white, just text n links and h1 tags...Informative sure, but most of the navigation is at the bottom... or on the side...

now site B has all the same info and linking to the same people... yet its aesthetically pleasing to the surfer, all navigation is above and below and all the right links are in their places whether its where it actually is in the code or not... the surfer can navigate with such ease he found everything he needs AND knows exactly where to find it...

Im not saying this is every case...

But it IS a valid argument... plain html SEO can pull you results but did you have the navigation to whatever it is youre referring above the fold?

I like to make sure... my links are where they need to be for the surfer to find easily AND where the spider would like to see them...



Ive done my campaigns and research on it first hand... I know my results... Not only do i like to SEO things, but i like to sell what Im SEOing...

maybe Im arguing the wrong point, maybe im arguing Seo mixed with marketing... but whoever is arguing my point without seeing what Im trying to say is just simply trying to argue...

its lunch time and Ive have spent too much time aside from my actual work in these CSS threads...

Fuck it... I dont even care...
