All those who ignore these types of common rules basically use pink paint to show off a half-made shack of a site.

I loved your post, Cathy. It's true – the keyword stuffers tend not to realize how that affects the quality of their content.

This time I'm copying it (and cutting it down to size)-gasp-I've been Chopped-another Food Network favorite. 🙂

The thing that has me leaving a blog is preaching and whining. Like Paula said – those ultimate experts. My post about keyword stuffing with the word "I" had some interesting comments. One reader said there is something to be said about storytelling and I -er-they-er-whatever agree. But, there's a difference between sharing and preaching or making it all about you. So, it's not really the use of the word, "I," it's how you use it.

How's that for profound? 🙂

Removing comments that are in direct opposition to your views is just stupid. How can you build a good debate – and learn something – if you're closed to anyone but the agreeable crowd?

I've found that those "ultimate" experts are more hot air than actual substance. 🙂

I think my comment served as an appetizer to your main course. LOL

I guess that tells me something about the need for self-editing. I'll have to come by later, Lori.
