(moderated: take part in the conversation, you get nice free links, spam useless comments and they get deleted)

I like what you got going here… very nice.

I appreciate the read Andy. The point I was trying to make is that it is either thinking laterally or not thinking laterally, something that should cause the discussion between black and white to hopefully disappear.

I fully agree that a SEO can think differently and still be considered a “white hat” by Google…the importance of that is the lateral thinking SEO made a conscious decision that for this site, for this phrase, certain tactics will be enough to rank. As the phrases become increasingly competitive, different tactics can be employed — whether someone outside chooses to refer to that as white, black, grey, pink, or green doesn’t matter so much as to whether it worked and whether the ROI was acceptable given the assumed risk.

BTW, thanks for turning me on to the megite list…interesting stuff.
