Oh my. This sounds like an existential discussion of SEO. How can any of us be “sure” that our work has an effect. I suppose the key is find a purpose in the day to day work, and long term title tag strategies, as my old friend Sartre might say.

I agree with you that it’s difficult to ascertain the validity of blog claims as any one can say anything. I can cite a few examples of adjustments / tweaks I’ve done for clients whereby I can fairly surely attribute my work on their site as cause for moving up in the world…however which one or combination of which one I cannot say.

I suppose this really DOES boil down to philosophy: the philosophy of good SEO practices.

PS – New to your blog, really enjoyed the posts so far!

Just to toss something different into the conversation I think a certain amount of the responsibility resides in the reader as well. Very little is actually clean and indisputable fact. You can find data to back up most any point of view you have.

More often than not you’ll find the truth is something that tells you what you already believed.

As a blogger I do my best to show alternate points of view and I hope I make clear when something is my opinion and not fact. I think it’s fine to offer opinion, though you should make it clear it’s opinion and also offer reasons why you hold that opinion.

I think that readers should realize the no matter what they are reading — blog, magazine, newspaper, anything — there is a POV and that they need to critcally evaluate any claims made. It’s nice when writers (in any forum) point to alternative viewpoints, but I don’t feel cheated if they don’t.

“2. Make it very clear that we understand that what we are saying may not be true, even though we believe it to be true”

Okay, Donna.

So, uh, why didn’t you make it clear that it may not be true that we should all admit that what we say isn’t necessarily true? (I feel myself falling into ocean of self-referencing paradoxes!

I’m not trying to be facetious (at least not entirely), Donna. What you’re essentially doing is expressing an opinion about the way people should express an opinion. One just HAS to appreciate the irony in that, don’t you think?
