Hey Rick,

Cheers for the response. I must admit that one of my main reasons for probing was due to the fact that you are using a yahoo email address to promote yourself. Alarm bells start ringing for me when I see these types of address! This reflects on you and while your advice is good this would really put me off contacting you. Sort it out

I agree with not wanting to give everything away but these days there is so much information on the web on how to achieve rankings that SEO really is not the black art that is used to be. This is not the disadvantage that it could be though. With so much information it can spin the uninitiated into a whirl, old sites and forums (even from Matt Cutts!) can give advice that is not on target. A lot of people also comment on things they really do not understand, leap to conclusions because of things they observe while not knowing the whole picture. This helps those of us with experience of multiple sites and years of experience.

With 6 years experience you certainly are no newbie! I know what you mean about the legwork and keeping on top of things...

Get you on the on or off site blog now, cheers for clearing that up. A lot of issues here, do you want content on the main site, good if you have a good PR and not many pages on main site. Do you want a brand-new domain if off site and the issues of building page rank etc. Nightmare, can see why individual advice should be sought on this.

If Google takes 3 months to find your site or you feel the need to submit it manually then there is something wrong. Like I said above, good of Matt Cutts to muddy the waters.

Search engines don't care that much about the content. Extrapolate quality content to... Hmmm, it is late and I feel I have said too much already!

Wicked to have someone here to discuss SEO with Rick, look forward to future banter
