Does this mean that hidden texts are really easy for Google to recognize today? Well, one good thing I know of is that deep linking and trackback spam linking has lessened because I don't receive so much by the hundreds of those anymore these days. (sigh) and (deep breath)

I think the entire issue of SEO is a confusing one. Seems like everybody is confused by what exactly it means and the whole whitehat vs blackhat issue... Even readying Google's guidelines leaves you scratching your head on a number of issues.... I guess that happens in any new industry.

Great write up. For those of us too poor to spend 2K on a conference, it is great to get the key points. This information is especially good for white hats.

More questions -
could I name my blog with my personal initials?
About keywords, I've heard that Google changes its requirements to well-optimized web sites, it concerns keywords usage, do you know?

Finally, thanks a lot for this article, it gives me some points to think about.

Cool, thanks for the summarised version, defo not got time for 1 hour video. All sounds great and in line with my thoughts on best practice. My only sorta query is about why not to use wordpress in the root of your domain. I know people might decide to do different things latter, but if you are a blog, mainly and foremost, why would you put it in a subdirectory. I personally think that the pro's of having it as root uot weigh the cons.

I guess the main question to ask here is "Why can't you just 301 the pages if you decide to change"?

Any reasons??

I really enjoyed your recap. I found it through Matt Cutt's blog. Since I'm pretty busy it was a great way to get the gist of the talk.

Thanks!

Stephanie, Thanks for posting this. Interesting read.

@graywolf, doesn't he mean to be careful you don't buy/sell irrelevant links, as that will water down the focus of a page's content? If so then that kind of follows, right?

So link depth (slashes) doesn't matter? Has anyone tested this theory?

Great recap - I missed day 2 of WP, but your posting rocks! Now I don't feel left in the dark. :)

I'm gonna link to it, so people reading my recap of day 1 can get some day 2 knowledge as well.

Good stuff - still so little talk about microdata in the SEO realm. GRDDL rocks and Google really cares about pingthesemanticweb entries. So SIOC (Shock) the web and start marking up for the machine.

I see what you mean about problems with the comments form. I was saying that the parts of the post that I could understand were indeed useful. I wanted to say that checking what searches led people to my sites has been very helpful in knowing how to title blog posts and what text to include so that people can find the info they need. However, at my personal blog I have found that people have gotten there by googling things like "knitting sluts" -- I know they must be very disappointed when they actually reach the page.

"sell your moustache on eBay — linkbait!"

That was done purely for reasons of aesthetics.
