I'm not an SEO expert by any means, but reading all this talk about how CSS will effect SEO results really SCREAMS to me my point that designing for SEO is a flawed methodology for total success. It seems the Search Engines actually need to optimize for the real world more than we need to optimize for them. Yes, they control the critical mass, but they are also a responsive system in and of themselves. If people are unhappy with their results over time they will change their systems to make people happier.
The fact that a technology like a search engine (and a search engine that isn't even in our design domain) is something that we even consider is troubling to me to no end. This is NOT the same thing as considering accessibility which is about protecting the rights of human beings who are not of the critical mass (majority), who need protecting by that very fact. This is about favoring technology over human beings in total which to me is beyond unacceptable. I am now officially throwing my cap in the wing of anti-SEO. Fortunately designing hardware and embedded software means this doesn't really effect me to much ... ;) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
