Having worked on sorting through local listing data with you, I completely agree with your perspective. Also, Eli, you're spot on with your comment that you have to understand the full range of practices that exist in a field in order to really master it. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series of posts.

After reading about the first third of his post, I ultimately decided that a response wasn't quite worthy of a full post. I mean seriously, at this point it would be a rebuttal rebuttal rebuttal rebuttal. I am fairly confident in the original position and frankly think all SEOs should work to understand the entire continuum of SEO. Incidentally, your <a href="http://www.bluehatseo.com/power-indexing-tips/" rel="nofollow"> Power Indexing </a> post was really good. About a year and half ago, we changed our URLs at JB and didn't implement our 301 redirects correctly (long story). We dropped 400,000 pages from the index and it took us close to 6 months to recover. Our sitemap was a classic top down sitemap - as it turns out, we should have experimented with reversed or rolling sitemaps.
