			<description><![CDATA[It just blows my mind how everyone who uses kindergarten language to describe the public reporting of known questionable SEO tactics is completely lacking in the vision department. Just because something can be used as a "weapon", does not mean that is the reason the reporting is conducted. It's a bullshit justification of sensationalized fear mongering. Warnings of doom and apocalyptic mayhem. There is every reason under the sun to publicly report on these issues that have NOTHING to do with competitive sabotage. And have everything to do with a desire to clean up the SEO cesspool. All these articles are no better than this past week's claims of Rapture.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great piece, Matt! You can definitely count me among those that worry about the reputation of the industry as a whole. It irked me tremendously, when the NYT writer chose to cast us as the villains, when he obviously has learned only the buzz-words of the industry, rather than any real understanding of it. Not as much, of course, as when I see a knowledgeable SEO actively promoting the "ratting out" of those that don't toe the Google line.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Peter! Thanks for sharing your State of Search post (I had missed that one and recommend everyone should go read it). Your closing paragraphs succinctly drive home the point. Public outing is not doing us any favors and yes, as many SEOs do deal with reputation management, we suck at it as an industry. I am "young gun" who is utilizing SEO as a platform to build a long-term consulting business on. So, you can see why the reputation of the industry does matter because not only my current but also future livelihood rests on it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Great Post Matt. I have to agree with your thoughts on the outing - something I wrote about in a similar post on State of Search - http://www.stateofsearch.com/a-dangerous-game/. Whilst none of us want to see blatant flouting and outing - at the same time washing our dirty laundry in public possibly isnt the best way to instil confidence in what is still a close/tight knit and misunderstood community]]></description>
