Considering I'm constantly adding new products to my company's website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs.

We were having a major fight against comment spam. Everyday we would have 15 to 20 spammed comments. I personally instituted the security feature you are talking about. I have to do my research on a better way to do this. Wordpress 2.0 has a new feature that will help us fight against blog spam and will let us keep our accessibility. One of the other ways we can stop blog spam is to have every person register with us before they can post a comment. I didn't see many people doing this. You didn't even supply a real name, email, or site. Who wants to remember another login and password? Most people don't. We take your comment to heart and I assure you, we will find an accessible solution soon. I am apologetic for the Band-Aid approach I took to fight blog spam. JoJo,

This was the early days of Zeldman. I remember bringing up issues of accessibility and being told directly to my face (and this is an exact quote): "That goes in the <i>nice to have</i> category, but it's not really essential." Great stuff, Tim. Three years ago I worked for a company that created browser-based healthcare assessment software. This was the early days of Zeldman.
