Thank you, everyone! I really appreciate your help with this!

@seesaw, thank you, and I like your suggestions. It's definitely not about ego at all.... it's about the fact that the client will most likely ask, and we will have to respond to why the article isn't ranking or gaining traffic or sales even. So I did some searches already and saw that it isn't ranking when it should be.

I think I have some time until I need to bring this to anyone's attention. I can give it a full week so I can think more on this until after the weekend.

I like the thought of emailing him directly as well. I also like the thought of me taking some amount of ownership too and sharing in the responsibility.

What I am trying to avoid is having HIM blame ME somehow for it not ranking and in front of the client, hence the CYA. I don't know what he's capable of.... and he's been insulting towards me twice now.

If anyone has additional thoughts, please feel free to share them! I am thinking on this.... thank you!!!
