I've stated loud and clear from the start: I used to do SEO. But my using it was a mistake. I've learned and moved on. Now it's your turn. Gavin, care to explain what the hell you’re talking about?

Eoghan like to share with everyone how you played around with your footer tag on your client sites using different keywords? Its all good concentrating on lovely coded pages and perfectly written content but happens when you have a site such as a hotel site? You honestly think your visitor orientated content is what will get you to the top?

But from working with mainstream SEO tools as a basic spec for any project, and seeing the effects a well structured blog post has on search engine rankings and real human being interactivity (i.e. people taking the time to leave a comment on your site!), I know that focusing on discussion and fresh content has to be a priority for any site owner.

SEO is a distraction unless you've got someone that really knows what they're doing, and even at that, it's bullshit because of how it damages the web and fills it with crap. Thanks for the mention, Neil. In short, I agree with you that the most important thing to do is to focus on the content and making your site great.
