Why so many SEO posts all of a sudden?
patio11: Phase one: spend a year here, amassing 16k karma by being mostly helpful and well informed.Phase two: write a post on a favorite topic I havent covered in a while.Phase three: lure a cynical,disinterested, and not really wealthy audience to my blog.Phase four: while you are not on HN, wage a sudden takeover by SEO content.  After that it was all over but the cackling.
