All search engines are not alike and there are a lot of other sources of traffic for your website besides the search engines. SEO is more than just targeting google for example. I believe in targeting all of them and as an Internet Marketer, I believe in targeting a variety of ways, other than search engines, to bring in new business. If all search engines were the same, the same site would rank at the top of all of them. The same top 10 would be on all search sites. Since they are different, it allows for sites that do not top one search engine to top a different one. It levels the playing field. My point is that if all search engines are not the same, then you can't have one set of standards for search engine optimization.

About the best you can do, it seems, is follow the BIG ONE, Google's Guidelines (ambiguous that they are) and then figure out the rest via trial-and-error. I, personally, cannot wait until there is some form of standards, if in no small part because then I can thumb my nose at my competitors legitimately. Haha. Spot on.
