I also completely agree with your statement about not missing SEO if you never had it (so to speak). What riles me about the post in question, and the attitude of those people is they bitch about SEO, or claim that it is easy and anyone can do it, which we all know is simply not the case. Thanks for the offer of to guest posts, when time clears up somewhat i will certainly take you up on the offer :) Hey Null:

I think the hard thing with SEO is the same problem with getting some companies to do marketing. There are values to the service that you just can't quantify. Many people have never done any SEO optimization to their sites and so they've not missed it. But they fail to realize that brand name carries. I've had companies that decided to not advertise because they weren't getting hardly any business from it. A poor choice since often an advertisiment might sit on someones desk for quite awhile before they act on it. I guess my point is that SEO is a requirement from the most basic standpoint but if you've never benefited from proper seo then you'll never grasp the need. SEO and marketing are the foundation, without them you'll never be able to go as far. PS I saw your comment on Anne's blog post and dropped by and couldn't help but drop a couple of lines =) if you ever have the urge to guest post drop me a line! There are bad apples everywhere.
