Just wanted to comment on the replies you were getting. Wow, I have rarely seen a comment jumped on with so many negative replies as this one!
I agree with you, I have very negative opinions on the term 'SEO', and those who use it. Sure, there might be 'good' SEOs, but I believe the experience of the majority of people, even geeks, of SEO is finding websites high up Google rankings which clearly have no place being there.
Maybe people jump on this comment because initially it was said he agrees with the post, but because John is an SEO by profession the post can't be good!
