Hi Ziya:

The purpose of the field study was just to examine the set of  
practices that would lead to higher search visibility.  There's a lot  
of talk purporting that these methods all work and recommending  
them.  There's very little public evidence that they do work or what  
about them works.

Here, we showed that there was a systematic set of behaviors that  
produced the search visibility from blogging, and we demonstrated  
that we could effectively train people in them.
