Random Wednesday SEO Thoughts

4:45am… baby crying
5:00am… wife’s alarm goes off
6:30am… scrapping ice off my window in San Diego, WTF
7:30am… still hanging out in an hour long traffic jam

It started out pretty rough today I have to admit…lol. So I thought I would lose myself in the SEO world today to take my mind off how tired I am. Here are some of the things I found along the way:

More on sub domains versus folders and how it effects SEO.

The ongoing discussion about the evils of paid links in SEO.

A great article about the problems that CMS systems have with SEO. I’ll blog more on this subject later myself. I have a number of observations to add..lol. That’s why we invented our own CMS system that is SEO friendly ;)

Being sick is the worst. I’ll leave it that…lol. Having a sick Web site (a Web site without valid HTML code) is not such a good thing either.
