Oh goodie! I got to rant today.
Quote from the Cre8asite Forum:
"SEO is very simple these days."
My response:
"I think it always was. It was SPAM (SEO techniques that tried to fool engines) that made it difficult, followed by the greed that fueled SEO scams.
I don't like to remember all the times I was threatened with lawsuits by SEO scam companies because I spoke out publically against them. I wrote an article about SEO scams back in 1998 that still exists on my site (hasn't been looked at for awhile. Still has an old font on it even. Likely needs some updating... http://www.cre8pc.com/whim.html) that users loved, but ticked off those who ran so-called free submission tools, especially my recommendation that they supply the list of every place a web site is submitted to so the web site owner could approve or disapprove (i.e. have a choice). I was once attacked so severely for this I took my entire web site down and seriously considered retiring from SEO altogether.
What's so simple is being honest in your work, learning the skills, applying them with integrity, and thinking of your users at all times. The engines are an advertising outlet - same as a magazine, newspaper, TV, radio. They are a tool. They're not the only one available for web sites. A simple business card with a URL is a tool.

How Do You Spell Relief? F.A.S.T.
Dynamic web site relief has arrived via FAST (AllTheWeb.com), which is adding the capability to search Macromedia Flash content and applications on the web. This functionality will automatically be made available to FAST's portal partners, such as InfoSpace & Lycos.
This, on the heels of news that Usability guru Jakob Nielsen is working with Macromedia to make Flash more usable is enough to make me pull out my Dreamweaver disk and relearn the danged software!

Happy Birthday Google. Did you cash that check yet?
Four years ago, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin needed to incorporate their new company. Why? So they could cash a $100,000
personal check that had been sitting in Page's desk drawer for a couple of weeks.
"The investment created a small dilemma. There was no way to deposit the
check since there was no legal entity known as 'Google Inc.' It sat in
Larry's desk drawer for a couple of weeks while he and Sergey scrambled to
set up a corporation and locate a few other funders among family, friends
and acquaintances. Ultimately, they brought in a total initial investment
of almost $1 million."
"The company grew quickly, and on June 7 1999, the company announced that
it had secured a round of funding that included $25 million from Sequoia
Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Buyers."

Google got lucky. The guy from NSYNC who trained to fly to the space station was rejected because he couldn't come up with the $20 million the Russians said he needed.
I guess a search engine is worth more than space travel these days.

No Problem!
The Cre8asite Forum that existed on 9/5 is no more. Phil found the problem, fixed it, and we were back in business in no time.
We're having a blast over there. Lots of renuniting with friends and making new ones. Come see what all the hoopla is about at Cre8asite
