The title suggests the author is going to explain some very sophisticated ways to get traffic/leads from blogging, yet goes on to talk about fairly straightforward things everybody should know: ie having blog in own subdomain.

It says the opposite in the article, that you shouldn't have blog.domain.com, but rather it should be hosted on the main domain.

As someone else pointed out, that's exactly the opposite of what I suggested. Here's more info why putting your blog on a subdomain is not a good idea: http://www.agent-seo.com/blogging/seo-subdomain-vs-subdirect...

Yeah it started out very in depth but then mentioned one very obvious fundamental SEO practice (something Matt Cutts bestowed upon us many months/years ago) and then goes off into bizarro land with the CMS stuff at the end.

Jose, I appreciate that feedback. I tried to address readers of all levels of SEO experience, so I started out with the basics and then progressively went deeper into some more advanced topics. It sounds like I could have been more clear i my writing. If you have any specific questions about the CMS stuff, just let me know.

Sorry for the harsh criticism (this is HN after all) I just was confused and it's probably my fault based on assumptions I had going in. I tend to eat up SEO articles because I have small business web clients for whom I perform SEO service but this was more targeted for larger online brands running blogging or content creation networks.
