I'm also the only person on this NG posting their failures at SEO in
great detail so others can learn from my mistakes. I adapt as I
discover new information.

Maybe you're the only regular on this group actually still making
mistakes.

Don't think so Bill, take a look at your own sites for good examples
:-)

There's a ton wrong with all my old sites because they are all old and
need updating. Much like myself (sigh). There's also precisely no
sites I've ever optimised that I'm happy to lay claim to because I've
never been allowed to do what I wanted on them.

I've never seen a perfectly optimised page, (that includes my own) and
so all pages/sites can be improved upon. Lots of sites I've seen from
posts here are far from optimally optimised. For example too many make
the fundamental mistake of using home as the anchor text of home
links.

Please Sir not me Sir I don't Sir.

Just an approximation
of it. Like, optimise this but don't change the look. Or the feel. Or
the code. Doh!

I really enjoy the challenge of optimising a site without changing the
overall feel/look.

Me too. That's partly why I like the owrk overall, each new site is a
new challenge.

And even so I'm rushed off my feet so I dunno where you
get the time to do all this testing you do, or to argue with Sam.

I work over 12 hrs a day (I guess I average 16hrs, but don't keep
track) almost every day (only days I don't work is through illness).
The only benefit of being physically disabled (and a lot of adaption
to my work space) is I can work, work, work and did I mention work
without getting too tired.

Did I mention I have problems sleeping as well, went to sleep at 5am,
woke at 9.30am and was back to work for 10am (will likely do the same
today).

Everyone's got trouble sleeping at the moment, in the UK anyway, it's
the hot weather. Everyone but me that is, I have enormous trouble
keeping awake for more than a few hours. Just another phase my
peripatetic body chemistry is going though, I hope.

So basically I work at least twice as long as the average person so
can afford to take the odd break (need to take the odd break!!).
