well the seo fundamentals are seo advice... maybe it's a trick question?

there are plenty of seo experts. google may have secrets but the most important things are popular knowledge. of course it helps for a website's original designers to have good seo understanding.

same meta description tags through the site ain't a major sin considering meta description tags are worth so little these days.

they use complicated terms and silly acronyms because they want to sound like important 'specialists'. it's a stubborn ego thing.

google offer googlepages for free, which should be good enough for people on a very low budget. regulations are rarely worth implementing.
