Hi Andy,

Really looking forward to the Ice to Eskimos series. My site is exactly at that point now, so I will be following along closely.

As for the MS ribbon. Personally, I don’t like it – a waste of space. I guess it’s supposed to make the tools more visible/graphical but I find it confusing.

I also support what Ann says in the above comment, your newsletter is pretty well the only one I read anymore. Even some of the great SEO voices out there are so into selling, that one just doesn’t have the time anymore to spend hours sifting through their emails to find one golden nugget of information. Your newletters are pure golden nuggets.

Thanks,
Jacquie

If I was going to get rid of the ribbon on a couple of the screens, I just don’t see the point in having it in any screen. It would be very unusual to have an application with differently designed screens like that. I can just get rid of the ribbon, and have all of the same functionality on a tab instead. Hopefully I’ll have some new screenshots up this week so people can see what I chose as an alternative to the ribbon.

Its not an easy question to answer Graeme. The higher the demand of a keyword, the higher an SEOTCR I’d be willing to work with. I judge all phrases on their merits after looking at all the details, including as you point out, the SEO Comp table.
