Search Engine Optimization and Standards

Eric Meyers wrote an article regarding Search Engine Optimization: SES San Jose Corrections that points to an example of using structural markup for search engine markup (which I can’t seem to get to) that doesn’t work. Since I can’t get to it I can’t rebut the report directly. However, let me say that I have top positions (or have had for some time – I don’t keep track too closely) for the phrases "Women of Walmart" and "Women of Home Depot". I was and am in no way trying to be a source of pornography or adult content, however, because I wrote articles against WOW and WOHD and because of the site structure of WordPress I rank highly for those terms.

As an example I offer these results from StatTraq for the month of July. The following table represents the top 5 search phrases from the top three search engines that were passed in referrer strings.
