		<description>This is great Jim. I&#039;m often being asked to justify the point of Usability as against (for example) SEO; I wasn&#039;t aware of the &#039;virtuous circle&#039; nature of the relationship, in the Usability helps rankings as well as conversions.

I wrote an entry on my blog about it here:

		<description>Great article Jim. I agree with what Kim says about usability. Seo becomes irrelevant if a visitor does not know what to do when they arrive at a site. It is important for a site to have good search engine rankings but at the same time be user friendly. I think that is also another good word for usability, how user friendly is a site.
Keep up the good work Jim, your one of the best writers in the topic of SEO in my opinion.</description>
