Your post is sort of a relief to me – I just do not have the time for all this ultra-picky SEO and I like the idea that maybe I can just let it take care of itself :)

Also, I love this phraseology of Google-juice, Pagerank leakage etc. I thought I would have some fun with it!

Mmmm… Google-juice.

Matt was used as an example because he was recently talking about supplemental results and duplicate content, and to let Google work it out.

If your pages don’t leak massive amounts of juice, you don’t have to worry about the juice being wasted, because it flows around – it is lossless

If you have major leaks, for instance more links to Technorati on your front page than to your own content, that is something to fix.

I don’t think Matt’s blog is the best one to use for examples. After all, Matt’s blog would still be popular if he had no pages indexed at all. His position with Google and his place within the search community assures him of a level of popularity that the majority of are unlikely to ever achieve.

So for the rest of us that have to rely on search traffic, it still makes sense to squeeze as much out of our sites as we can and that includes “guiding” search engines to where we want them to go and “suggesting” that they ignore what we don’t think is important.
