His tips are usually down to earth and tell you what most SEO people will tell you to do with your blog. Make sure that you have create excellent content at all times and that your keywords are used sparingly and well. What I tend ot get from him mostly is that we worry too much about a lot of hte techniques and for on page content hte most important thing is solid reliable content and not to drown your content with your keywords.

I believe I read somewhere recently that Matt said there was very little difference in the way Google treated underscores and dashes today.
I don’t think it was ever a major factor, it certainly didn’t have any noticeable affect on one or two sites that I run.

Thanks for the comment Michael. I tend to agree with you too as I have no evidence to compare with as I never use underscore anyway as it involves two key presses and I use the keyboard. At the end of the day a smart design with good content always wins I think. There is far too much navel gazing about on page SEO anyway I think as it is the smaller part of getting ranking in the first place. I may even edit this post in the near future and contradict my original posting
BTW – Like your blog visited it and like what I have read so far will add the RSS feed.

Thanks for the nice comment Kieran.
I would use dashes just to keep things right.
BTW I just noticed a referal in analytics, a subscribe to comments plugin would be great.
