I recently had a conversation with Rae Hoffman via Twitter about the use of my posts here on SEJ. To clear things up, my posts are really meant specifically for SEJ readers as a recap of news, forum threads, tools, etc. to induce a conversation in a centralized atmosphere. We feel that this helps to culminate a lot of the going-ons in the SEO community, and share thoughts and ideas on those subjects.

It was brought to my attention by Rae that she didn’t appreciate that these types of posts made it to Sphinn and in her opinion they went “Hot” all too often.

If you were a spectator of the Twitter conversation, please be aware that Rae is very strong minded and fights for her beleifs (rumored to the death, even), and you have to respect that in a person. Things may have seemed heated, but that’s what happens when people disagree. We certainly don’t blame her for voicing her thoughts.

That being said, we strive to make SEJ a one-stop destination for simple SEO tips, news and information. We want to do our best to appeal to as wide a groups as possible. As such, we would like your opinion on the posts that recap the news or posts from other sources.

Please take this poll, then send SEO Factor $10 for the “buy an SEO a new hat” fund.

Should SEJ Remove the Ability to Sphinn a post on certain topics?

— vote — Nah, I like that stuff and find it on Sphinn usually?

— vote — Please, remove the Sphinn button from those posts.

— vote — What’s a “Rae?”

— vote — It makes no difference to me.

— vote — Apple Sauce does NOT belong in brownies

(or something like that. Why not let the community decide?)
