This whole analysis is bad and sensationalistic.
His observation is based on 1 search term. In order to make right conclusion someone should analyze at least tens of thousands (or even hundred of thousands) search terms.
He also analyzed 1st page results only. He didnt even try to see what sets apart 1st page results from 2nd/3rd/4th.
He points to single factor, totally disregarding other factors and their relative importance as part of whole algorithm.
This is crazy. Just subscribed to his mailing list. Thanks!

No problem.
IMO he specifically needs to get more attention around here.. It's tremendous information for anyone looking to grow using SEO, and who want the most relevant information possible. I don't know a better SEO resource.
This guy named Glen runs an incredible SEO blog, and he's got case studies of brand new sites/page [1]. He explains how single page sites and YouTube videos are beating out big established sites. His SEO work and breakdowns on his blog are outstanding, and there is great information on there. The marketing departments of every startup should be on this guys mailing list. I have 0 affiliation with him.
I've never seen anyone bring his name up on HN, and it's about time someone does. He has been saying all year: 2013 has been awful from Google's standpoint. People are gaming the system harder than ever, and maybe theres some smart people on HN who could use bits and pieces of what Glen does/preaches.
Since Google is always changing the algo, Startups tend to avoid considering using SEO as a way to get immediate results.. But there is still some time left in 2013, and instead of all the information marketing spammers benefitting, I believe it should be HN (legit businesses & startups)!
