There are a number of basics to SEO, and I would urge anyone with a site to try to understand those as much as possible. It can help :) Hi Kweezel,

There have been a few people over the past few years who have proclaimed that “SEO isn’t rocket science,” and they are correct – it’s computer science, information technology, linguistics, marketing, and a number of other disciplines rolled together. There are a number of basics to SEO, and I would urge anyone with a site to try to understand those as much as possible. It can help :)

It makes sense why we outsource to other companies as oppose to doing this on our own. Interesting reading, your blog.

A Google patent for anchor text processing, covered by Bill Slawski at SEO by the sea, suggests that indexed web pages are associated to anchor text in external inward pointing links via a database-powered cataloging system. This system is used in ranking the indexed pages for single-query search results. Yahoo may use their database applications similarly. A highly souped-up database querying method could enhance their index and ranking ability, or their other functions like the concept dictionary to quite a speed.

It might have a side effect of stopping keyword stuffing and page generators. @ SEO Jacques One of the things about tagging that researchers have come to find is that tags are often as much about the relationship between the person tagging and the content as they are about the subject matter of the content itself. For example, if I have a project that I am researching, I might use a specific tag to identify all of the documents that I bookmarked that I think might be helpful for my research. The tag I use might not describe the content of the pages that I bookmarked at all, yet my use of tags isn't abusive or misleading at all. @ SEO Ninja

The trick would be to educate the users of social bookmarking sites / services on adopting effective tagging practise, maybe an article on basic parameters to adhere to might be on the cards? Keep up the good work! Tagging is definitely open to misuse / disuse.
