I am a lurker on your blog :-) You contribute so much. Thank You! I appreciate your advice on SEO and put some of it to work (although I have a long way to go before I finish).
Best,

		<description>I&#039;m surprised. I just started looking into this SEO thing a week ago when you mentioned it on your blog. My website already does just about everything those articles mentions. There was only a few minor things I needed to tweak. I guess that explains why *insert search term here* seems to always go to my website.</description>

		<description>Paul, let me just point that there&#039;s a common myth that SEO is &quot;black magic&quot; or unethical, blah blah. Sure, there&#039;s definitely a lot of SEO&#039;s that practice unethical techniques but there is no tricks involved for ethical SEO. Think of SEO as optimizing for people to find you through search engines, not optimizing for the search engines themselves. Does that make sense?

If I understand it correctly you didn&#039;t employ any trickery or anything like that. All you did was move around the placement of the title tags, add unique meta description tags, and a few other small misc things. No black magic there. 

Anyhow, glad to see the good results. If possible can you break down the numbers for just search engine referrals? 

Thanks</description>
