Hot topics in comp sci vs SEO

To see if there was a correlation between hot topics in SEO and hot topics in IR, I've listed the top 10 in each in no particular order.  I may have forgotten some in SEO because that space is not as ordered at the comp sci one.

SEO popular topics:

 - How to get more traffic to your blog
 - How to use LinkedIn/Twitter/etc to increase your traffic
 - NoIndex /No Follow
 - SearchWiki
 - Guides and ebooks / tutorials on all manner of marketing things
 - x number of easy seo strategies
 - Wordpress themes
 - Link building strategies
 - Social media evolution etc
 - Tools you might be missing etc
 
 Computer science (IR, NLP) popular topics:
 
 - Classifier systems
 - Recommender systems
 - Personalisation
 - Ranking both in SE and SN
 - Information retrieval & browsing
 - Q&A systems
 - System evaluation
 - Information extraction
 - Digital libraries
 - Interfaces and HCI

Not much correlation there sadly.  There's evidence of attention to links in both though and also to personalisation.  I guess that this means that both are not really picking things up from each other.  It's a gap that needs to be bridged.
