He may not think that Public Relations affects his activities and SEO tactics – but you can be assured that the aggressive, passionate postings by SearchEnginesWeb on his blog over the past two years – has had a very significant effect on the policies of the spam team AND the search quality team.

There have been to many changes for it to have been a coincidence

Did they NOT think of these things themselves?

Where their egos, insecurities or politics involved?

"a potential problem for any niche blog" – naaah, that site has about 1000 mentions of the word 'generator' all on one page, that won't be a problem for many sites.

We have had our webmaster work on many of the suggested SEO techniques and our SERP is still bad (1000+) on Google for most all of our keywords. I've looked for a forum on Google Groups, but have had no luck. The site is dinettegallery.com
If someone has any recommendations it would make me smile.
