One of my favourite talks at BrightonSEO was by Rebecca Weeks, talking about the techniques that she implemented for a client, concentrating on short-term, grey-hat tactics (because the client demanded results ASAP), how they got slapped by Panda and Penguin and ultimately what she learnt from the experience. And it was absolutely brilliant. We need more talks and articles like that.

Haha, I think if you fall over a couple of times it’s not so bad but if you keep doing it then…

Thanks Anthony! Glad you liked the post. Always appreciate the efforts you go to in regards to comments (You guys could learn a thing or two…)

I think in part the horror of being wrong stems from the need to be right

I agree and personally I find this bizarre. Why is it necessary to always be right? It seems so lacking in esteem or confidence!

You blog is coming on nicely man. I really like the way you link out to content as if when you’re writing you think about relevant documents/posts that will help the user. Maybe one day I’ll start thinking about other people

I have to agree too. Holding up your hands and saying “Yeah, Sorry that was my bad” is a great trait.

I’m wrong all the time (Don’t tell my girlfriend that!). I’ve found being wrong similar to falling over in a busy street. Do it once and it’s an accident to learn from…do it again and you need mental help.

You can try to blame others/style it out, but you’ll still look a pleb.

Dude seriously so would I. If anyone wants to write about how they fucked up really badly I’d be more than happy to post it. Even anonymously.
