Great Post! I rairly read posts from beginning to end but this one was great and very informative. I am so interested in this whole SEO thing because it is such a grey area. I find it more interesting that there so many people and companies in the industry promising this hopeless page 1 rankings and such. Like you mentioned "Anybody who makes guarantees regarding rankings is either ignorant or lying." I loved that line. Great job!

Great stuff. When speaking to someone involved in SEO my first question is what blogs/news sources they track. It appears I’m not alone .

That’s good interesting advice, and definately shows some thought from the person asking the questions.

Hope it doesn’t persuade too many people to look into SEO as a career I quite like my skills being fairly uncommon!

I've been in to SEO and eCommerce for over 3 years now. However, before that I had multiple sales jobs. My opinion is, everyone should have at least one sales job in their life. Everything starts with a sale: interviews, proposals for new business, getting links from other websites, it's all sales. Good post.
