Thanks for posting that blog, great information there!

I used to do SEO for years, but always kept accessibility and usability
first, because the search engines loved it! I had one client stay in the
number 1-3 spot for 10 years (never once paid-this was all organic!)...so I
proved my theory over and over...

Basically if you make a good site for humans, all humans, then the SEO is
much easier. Of course there are always tips and tricks (white hat ones and
not ones that will get you banned) that one can do...but in the end the
people who put people first, always did better with the engines.

Cheers

Lisa
