If there is one thing that stuck in my head at the Pubcon is the conversation about turning Text Decoration off. Basically this make a link not look like a link and it looks like normal text. Usually this is done for style purposes, I never thought about it as a SEO hindrance. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with this.
Especially since so many use this.

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few.
After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few.
Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds.
I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients.
Yes there is more too me than this profile shows, but you will just have to ask.
