Well I might have a bash at it to reiterate or reinforce what you have said but really I could not agree more! Google really does tell webmasters or seo and seo writers how to give the web the best but as you say many are just not listening. As the last poster said excellent article. John

It looks as though the future of SEO is in those that have no idea about SEO. In that, I mean, those with the interest of their visitors at heart will undoubtedly rise in the serps over anyone with only SEO in mind. I'm listening. Excellent article.

I’m listening.

Today’s Google is way beyond the text engine of yesteryear now, and much smoother than the early LSI stuff we played with in ‘03. If you’ve been writing off 3+ term searches as “long tail” you should take another look at your logs today. I’m seeing highly relevant combination queries which clearly reflect user intent, ranking my theme-targeting pages with dead-on precision. If users haven’t adopted the “say more so we better understand your intent” method of searching, they will when they get used to this performance. It’s rewarding. Yeah, it’ll be tough to define what your “target terms” are going forward, but I’ve been singing that tune for a year at least already. The future of SEO is relevance, and there’s no avoiding it. The key is defining relevance, and understanding the Google’s approach to rewarding it. remember, folks. WE define relevance, not Google ;-) [...] […] I speak from the viewpoint of publisher here.
