You’re Not a True SEO Until…
Welcome back! Good to see you. If you haven't seen it, here's the archive of my best writing. Thanks for visiting!
I microblog now more than I blog at Twitter.com/stuntdubl
Feel free to drop me a line sometime or subscribe in case I ever post again.
Following a bit behind the Cost of Jagger thread:
You’re not a true SEO until you’ve…
- had a (personal) site banned
- had a site dip to nowhere with the {insert update name here} update
- decided to wait a week to wade through the tripe that we call “update threads”
- got a consulting request from a site about payday loans, mortgages, gambling, pills, or Quinstreet
- been scraped at least a dozen times
- bought a link strictly for it’s PR passing potential (even if you rationalized the “relevance” in your mind)
- been to an SEO conference
- figured out there’s more to running a business than free Google traffic
- *Okay this one is questionable, but I couldn’t resist - had Doug H. call you a spammer (*note - first time I’ve ever used “nofollow”, and I am not a self-proclaimed spammer. I’ve never even badmouthed Doug even to his clients that call for services wondering about his reputation, and the post in question was for helping new clients get reincluded. I am secretly quite honored to be on his list of *cough* “spammers” though.)
So what do you think? You’re not an SEO until… ?
