SEO is still a very mysterious field and although there are many tactics that are proven to work, there are also certain "tricks" that are discovered by your own experimentation that give you an edge. Those tricks are the reason you are in business in the first place so don't ruin it and tell the world.

If we as SEO bloggers don’t give away any good tricks, why should anyone read our blogs? If we do give away the better tricks, those tricks will stop working." <b>Michael</b>: Most people in the SEO community don't know enough about SEO to keep posting useful tips for much longer than a week. Just about all the really useful tips have been shared as fundamental on-page optimization and standard link building tactics. However, the one thing no one can scoop you on is your opinion. Where the SEO community can help itself and lot of other people is in the sharing of pros and cons on all aspects of publicly documented SEO techniques as well as all aspects of online marketing. You don't have to report the news -- just talk about what's going on and why you think it's good or bad. quadszilla: “It’s a paradox.

You don’t have to report the news — just talk about what’s going on and why you think it’s good or bad.
