But Can They Share A Bedroom? ... The age-old dilema of SEO vs Design, or SEO with Design is discussed by Eric Lander in Effective Visual Designs and Optimization – A Tough Pair to Combine. Quote: "When the processes and dissections of search engine optimization are stripped down to the basics, content and clean coding proves to be the most effective approach to SEO. Unfortunately, combining a stunning and effective visual design with clean and effectively optimized code – is difficult to accomplish."
Froogle Still In The Easy-Bake Oven...Top Site Listings author Jason Mills researches Google's Froogle, the retail shopping engine, and finds room for more improvements. Click on >>> Early Froogle BETA Shortcomings Quote: "There are a number of issues that must be addressed before Froogle will be able to establish itself as a reliable online shopping resource."
Peter Da Vanzo of SearchEngineBlog caught up with Ammon Johns and got him to talk about himself instead of SEM/SEO in his latest of interviews. Ammon quips, "I still suspect that half of your readers will have no clue who I am or why I'm here." Well, silly, that's because you went by the name "Black Knight" and everyone considered you their hero because you volunteered so much time behind the scenes teaching SEO in forums. (He still does, at Cre8asiteForums.com.) Click on >>> Question time with: Ammon Johns or visit Cre8asiteForums to see how handsome Ammon is without his suit of armour on.
PS. If Ammon is an unknown, then *I* definitely don't stand a chance in Jupiter of being a fascinating interview subject.

And finally, stupid me. I thought the world wanted to find Osama Bin Laden. Guess George changed his mind. The world isn't pleased.
Oh yeah, and for Eric, who wished it had more white space and was kinder on the eyeballs, I dedicate the new UI for this Blog to you.

Exactly why would Yahoo! shoot itself in the foot? "The new emphasis on Google will improve the quality of Yahoo’s searches.
