The Verge runs a long article about SEO

Sad to report: the alligator didn't eat any of them.

This relates to WP because since 2005, WP has been attracting SEO "professionals". Most notably Jonathan Hochman, who is STILL a powerful and semi-popular insider, despite having provably biased WP content for paying customers. Repeatedly and openly. He was the principal author of the Search engine optimization article, okay? Hochman is an open sore on the nutsack of Jimbo's Folly. Yet he continues to edit, despite resigning his sysop power last year thanks to his "brilliant" handling of the Warsaw concentration camp scandal.

(It's also amusing to see Matt Cutts mentioned in this article. He was one of Google's most powerful yet questionable employees. His official job was to deal with spamming yet he ended up befriending many of the same SEO people he was supposed to be keeping out of their search results. Wikipedia loves the hell out of Matt--his article is always positive-but-useless non-information, and Hochman watches it very carefully. Even today, years after Matt left Google.)
