"First thing is points don't matter. I could care less how many points you have as an Expert. It means absolutely zip. To me, being an Expert means you have some knowledge of a subject and you want to help people as best as possible. That's it. Earning points is simply a by-product of that."

It's hard to find good SEO info on the web. Search engine technology changes rapidly and the field has always been a very attractive one to those who Michael Duz (duz -
www.experts-exchange.com/M_333573.html) refers to as 'snake oil' merchants.
Consequently, there is a great deal of outdated info and misinformation about SEO online and much of it gets posted here on EE. Be very careful what you read and be very careful what you believe - here or elsewhere. Any good SEO I have spoken with will tell you that 50% - 80% of their work comes in the form of fixing messes made by others - numbers that are consistent with my own experience. Reading through the abundance of bad SEO information that gets posted makes one wonder how come those percentages are so low.
