Nick at Performancing.com calls out the snake-oil shamans of the blogger-hints community:

I've been noticing a worrying trend in the blogosphere recently, and it only seems to be increasing. It boils down to this: People are giving out advice about ranking in Search engines, when they clearly know nothing whatsoever of the topic.
Worse, in extreme cases, as in the one above, they're giving out information that is patently false, and could actually get bloggers into trouble with some engines.

The moral of the story? Write what you know, & read / link to what you don't. Will try to live by this even more clearly in the future....
