Bob and Rand,
Is
Roll Your Own considered highly competitive? I don't think it is.
This dmoz page -
http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Tobacco/Cig...Roll_Your_Own/ - has that phrase in its page title, and doesn't rank in the top 500. It even has that exact phrase in the anchor text, and if you folks are real SEO's you know thae anchor text pisses all over page titles.
So can we just all agree that either DMOZ has absolutely no authority (not likely) or your theory that authority means that pages of web directories should rank, is total BS?
And just for the record, I am not saying this in a belligerent tone (for those who would assume I am).
And also for the record, I appreciate both of you spending the time to answer our questions.
