In light of all the attention the V7 post has gotten today John Scott was cool enough to let me ask him some questions regarding the new service. Overall I am excited about it. Here is what we talked about. >How long have you been testing the service privately?

I was going through the normal rss reading today and Gray Wolf mentioned a post by Aaron Wall today responding to a recent flame from this guy James Timothy of Nerdville. This guy posted about his recent purchase of the SEO Book and how he was dissapointed and so on, you can read the rest [...]
