Welcome aboard, Captain (if that's not an oxymoron...)

Well, my short sojourn on these pages has so far taught me one thing. The GoogleDance, whilst fun to watch, isn't anything to do with writing a good website.
Not only does the Dance *not* help you write good content, but it causes dozens of people with poor content to dance (as it were) up and down with much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Instead of worrying whether Google has danced or not, use your time to write pages that will delight your visitors.

After all, if one worried about the Google Dance, the MSN Dance, The AllTheWeb Dance, The AltaVista Dance, The BoilYourHeadInABucket Dance (I made that one up), you'd not have time to write content.

When a surfer clicks on the second listing on a Google Search, does he think
a) Why isn't this top?
b) Why was the top one so dreadful to navigate?

Go with "b" and make your site better - you'll win.
