Right? Cool. My biggest thing is: are not SEOs helping to make the SEs better with keyword targeting? I think as SEOs, those of us who don't know the Google engine signals for rank should be given a break and told some secrets. Couldn't you play an April fools joke on Google next year and really give out some rank signals? If no, how about if there was some kind of fiduciary agreement with SEOs outside of Google? We could create a contract that says if these secrets were ever made public, the SEO who signed the contract would have to pay a large penalty.

Happy April Fool's. April 1st and Halloween are two favorite holidays at Google.. Andy Beal, I figured that so many people went early with their April Fool's pranks that I would sit back and bide my time going for the late joke. :) Jaan Kanellis, at least it was muppetrolling -- a more creative version of rickrolling. :) Andy C, I’m glad that I got someone with some harmless fun.
