You absolutely MUST consider quality

I'm glad the quality of a site is part of the formula. Just like a person pounding a nail in the wall to hang a picture isn't considered a carpenter, Google wouldn't be what it is today if it let every website through the flood gate on even terms. Even my own sites are better because I've been forced to play by G's quality rules. When I use G, I want to find relevant content and they make great strides to see that I do.

Tough Crowd...

Goodness, Jason... tough crowd you've got here =)

It's "news" because many people still don't get it. That is most likely why Google took the time to explain it (again)...and Jason did a write up on Google's most recent explanation.

Don't shoot the messenger! haha!

I read your stuff everyday, Jason... keep up the good work!

The fact that it is good news to many people is a good thing if those people are your bid competitors!

Google Compared To Yahoo

It's things like the quality score which makes Google by far and away the best search engine. I don't believe Yahoo would ever have introduced the quality score had it been in Google's position as it may well lead to lower revenues in the short term.
