Participation marketing now that is new and I like it. Call it smo, smm, whatever you can't just sit back and let your seo do all the work for you. Go after it and build that trust. Nice post Matt.

I'll re-read my text, but I don't recall saying (or implying) that this was something brand new that I've just discovered. Sure, those of us who do marketing for a living know full well that trust is a key element of any successful business, online or offline. Keep in mind that this blog isn't generally written for other marketers like yourself (though I appreciate that you do visit!). It's written for small business owners and webmasters. Given that so many in that group of people are wanting to learn more about SEO and SEM, I assume it's news to them that the search engines maintain profiles and track all the little details about their sites, down to when outgoing links change -- and that everything they do gets rolled up into TrustRank, or whatever you want to call it. May not matter much to you, and that's okay. I trust it matters to the intended audience, and that they'd tell me if it didn't. :) Thx for the comment, Paul.
