I whole-heartedly agree with "targeted relevant keyword-rich" being the key for anchor text. Thanks for that. Additionally, PageRank as Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a priceless metaphor. I would love to see someone write a blog post titled, "Keeping Your Client from Turning into Zule, Opening a Gateway, and Summoning Gozer, the Destroyer". Aside from a long title, I see a fantastic SEO/ Ghostbusters parallel forming. Jeffrey, Thanks for the feedback. I love the phrase "context is currency". You should probably copyright that before someone steals it. Dan, Thanks for your comment. I whole-heartedly agree with “targeted relevant keyword-rich” being the key for anchor text.

SEO without pagerank can go ahead and I would like this to happen. Every search engine can read back links whether they are good or not, only Google does not have this ability.

My favorite play on words was definitely "eschatological conclusions", there is no shortage when it comes to explaining why 4 PR2 links with trust from a relevant site are worth an off topic PR5 any day. Let's face it, search engines can read too, and context, quite simply is currency when link building enters the equation. Good read, love the writing style. All the best Jeffrey Smith Great post Jeff:

Other than that, this blog entry is worth bookmarking - and slapping people with when they say that PageRank is the key to ranking well in Google. (If anything, as I told Aaron11 on Digital Point recently, PageRank is like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man before Gozer turned it into a 100 foot tall walking instrument of mayhem and world destruction in the movie "Ghostbusters" -- in other words, nothing to be feared or even worried about since it's just little more than a cute toy.)
