Don't mind that it is a little more dated than others, the comments are welcomed. The webmaster guidelines published by the search engines aren't really "SEO guidelines" in as much as political speeches and campaign promises from politicians are actualities. The engines say what they want, but the results don't always back up the rhetoric. The most important thing is to see what they are doing and not to get stuck on what they are saying. Yes, they wouldn't want to be totally transparent, it wouldn't be good for business, engine or optimizer. But, like the old adage, "It's not what you say that matters, it's what you do." So, second guessing, looking at the results and figuring out how the result matches with the actions of another website is paramount. I hope this brought a little more light to the situation. Feel free to ask more questions new post or not, you can even send me an email if you would like. I hope you don't get a bad taste for the SEO business, it really is unique and always changing. @Stephen Ryan: Stephan, thanks for the comment.

Aren't the Google/MSN/Yahoo webmaster guidelines in effect SEO guidelines? They list the different things designers should be doing to optimise the site for the crawlers. Obviously we can expect them to release the exact engine spec or else everyone would be finding ways to trick the results. Sorry if I've completely missed the point too, still quite new to all of this SEO business. Firstly, apologises about following up on an old post.
