Please be careful with blog posts like that.
If you recommend to

  yum localinstall --nogpgcheck ...

the rpmfusion-release package with a disabled gpgcheck, you don't need to

  sudo rpm --import ...

RPM-GPG keys from an external (!) http location, which is not rpmfusion's.
If the installed package doesn't contain the correct RPM-GPG key files, it is
not the correct package.

Better use plain

  rpm -ivh http://...
  rpm -ivh http://...

to install the packages (or both packages at once), which contain the
RPM-GPG keys. PackageKit and Yum will import these keys when needed. If
you want to install them manually, tell your readers how to extract the
keys from the rpm. Also tell users to verify the signature of the package
once they have installed the right keys, e.g.

  $ wget http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/i386/os/rpmfusion-free-release-15-0.1.noarch.rpm
  $ rpm -Kv rpmfusion-free-release-15-0.1.noarch.rpm 
  rpmfusion-free-release-15-0.1.noarch.rpm:
    Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 00a4d52b: OK
    Header SHA1 digest: OK (76f5e1b747a0c396f6635013e27028330eeee8b1)
    V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 00a4d52b: OK
    MD5 digest: OK (ae3cd352f89fcf7d2af85aee376ecaa4)
