Who's obsessed with SEO?

I must admit, I've been laughing at people fiddling around with their SEO (search engine optimisation) in the past. Thought it was a bit of a waste of time trying to get things just right. But then I came across a few articles and SEO programmes and got caught up in it myself.

This evening, I used this programme which is supposed to tell you what Google are looking for. I spent ages condensing all my keywords and fine tuning my site description... only to come across a different programme later on in the evening which told me that I hadn't used enough keyword. So in they went again after I'd painstakingly taken them out an hour previous.
I'm calling it a night now as I'm
a) getting tired and
b) wondering if it's all worth it.
From what I gather, nobody really knows what makes Google spiders tick, so should we really spend our lives worrying about it?
My humble opinion would be: choose your keywords and descriptions wisely or at least do the best you can. After that, it'll be in the hands of the cyber gods.

Yeah this whole SEO thing has got me confused as well. I just don't do a thing and feel as if that is best for now. Good Luck!
