And there are more tactics the more granular your discussion of SEO is. For example, at a high-level you might argue that SEO is about on-page and off-page optimization. At that perspective, there are no secrets. There is nothing else except what's on a page and what's not on a page. However, when you dig deeper and deeper, there are tactics that are either not well-known (making them secrets) and tactics that are simply not executed as well as they could be despite being popular. It's the knowledge of those tactics and the skills to develop and execute those tactics that companies are hoping they're getting when they shell out the big bucks.

More importantly, the fact that something of potentially great magnitude has been brought into the open means that anyone looking for an edge will start dabbling in the environment and people that are “in the know” minimize their real conversations and discussions on what may work and what may get you hurt.Perhaps, “It” is really the debatable discussion overall. Is video taping a coaching staff’s play calls just as bad as taking HGH or gambling for/against your team while you are playing for that team? Does the system create an environment which is really enabling coaches and players to figure out ways to game the system and bend the rules?
