I would agree it is the most important off-page SEO item but I am not sure I agree that it is in all cases more powerful that page titles nor would I agree that it is more important that some items that give site authority.

>>>Really? Look at who is ranking. Not a whole lot of weight there. Some sites with very poor link profiles, and **** for on-page SEO.

You may want to take another look there John.

9 of the sites are 1999 or older.
10 sites are in dmoz and 4 have over 40 dmoz entries.

In the top ten there is www.wired.com and www.oreillynet.com

Now you got me thinking you are not only bias but blind as a bat : )
Bob, 9 of the top 500? Or, I get it, you're only looking at the top 10. Why not look at the other 600 or 700 listings that outrank dmoz?

I'm sorry, Bob, but it is hard to take your theory seriously when even DMOZ doesn't rank in the top 500 for a non-competitive keyword phrase like "roll your own". I mean, yeah, dmoz have authority up the wazoo. If they don't rank for silly stuff in their page titles, then I am not going to hold it against other sites.
