  • Wildhoney, on 11/11/2007, -0/+1I have to agree on the theory of placing a text link in the top left instead of a logo, typically a text link of your website's name, and then using CSS to place the logo over it. That's both good SEO (Really good SEO) and good usability (Really good usability) - because applications that read text for individuals who are blind, will know what the website is.
  • andywirtanen, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1It's Nielsen, not Nielson. Surprised the article can't even get this right.
  • sclark, on 11/14/2007, -0/+3This would make sense. "Unethical" SEO works to rate sites at all costs, including the expense of lost usability. The trouble is, nobody's thinking post-click. That's where things happen. And sadly ignored by many.
