We all know thank links to a page are important - I fully agree with that conclusion. I know from our past debates that you and I disagree somewhat on the role that other factors play and that's fine with me. Anyone who believe that on-page factors or meta tags and title tags are unimportant will presumably emphasize the former and discount or ignore the latter. I would, and have, advised people to pay equal attention to both.
That's all. I have no interest in converting the "links" people - only in letting other members know, especially those who are relatively new to site promotion, that there is another point of view.
