Love your "My point is this: "

Okay, so I'm guilty of the "Google doesn't use PageRank" speech. But only because I'm trying to convey that that bloody Toolbar doesn't count for anything. We all know that it's a lot more complicated than that, but when people tell me that 5 green pixels rank better than 3... I call bullshit!

As for the rest, agreed. I can't believe how many people who have never worked with anything internet related simply read up on Matt Cutt's blog and now think they have it sussed.

That said, SEO Bullshit is now my favourite site!

Darren, I couldn't resist and actually read this “speed up WP” piece of crap. After cleaning up the vomit and replacing my totally ruined keyboard, I'd say your outing was way too polite.

Here's the thing about you, Darren...some people write you off as an enormous dick because you're proud and unapologetic about the "I'm a motherfucker" image you've crafted for yourself. But when push comes to shove, you know your shit more than most of this industry. And when you go off on one of your rantastic tangents, people should really just STFU and absorb the useful information.

You're way smarter than I am when it comes to a lot of the uber-technical stuff and I learn something new from you regularly, you jackass. You do realize I just said smarter than me, right? Don't take that lightly. I don't recall my having said that about anyone previously. And I don't foresee it happening again anytime soon, so enjoy.

The data and no bullshit evidence to support your claims (not necessarily in this post, but in the posts on SEOmofo.com) is exactly what I've come to expect from you and you never fail at the delivery. The heads of the small business owners I work with would explode with one glance at all that geektasticness, but anyone inside the industry should do a deep bow of thanks. And then they should storm off to talk about what an ass you are. But before that, they should do a deep bow of thanks. ;)

I particularly enjoyed "If you’ve never created a website without using WordPress…", because while I use WordPress almost exclusively these days for a variety of reasons, I built my first site in the mid-1990s using straight HTML and supposedly WYSIWYG tools like Claris HomePage and Adobe PageMill. It's amazing how WYSIWYG really wasn't and how much HTML was actually required to build a site that didn't look like someone just shit out a 64 count box of Crayolas onto your screen. :)

Don't be so modest Darren – tell us what you really think. Seriously, though, if more people put the amount of thought and research into posts the way you do, there would definitely be a lot less BS out there.
