My Take On Famous SEO Celebrity Nonsense

Filed under: SEO by TheMadHat |

Since we’re all on this topic today. What makes a famous SEO anyway. That to me is an idiotic term. Let’s take other industries. Are there “O-Ring Sales Celebrities” and are there secret O-Ring meetings? People shouldn’t want to be famous, they should just want to make some connections. Don’t be an ass, help people when you can and they’ll help you in return. All it takes is an email, no need for a blog if you don’t want to write one. It’s called networking people. So without further ado:

If you’re a “famous” SEO and you are a douchebag fucktard that only will associate with other “famous” SEO fucktards and are holier than everyone else because you think you’re entitled:

Fuck You

If you’re a “famous” SEO and friendly to the people that are friendly to you, help your colleagues when you can, and although you probably don’t have time to talk to the little guy sometimes that’s okay because your time is limited and having that many people clamoring to be your friend just to use you is probably annoying but it’s the effort that counts:

Thumbs Up To You

If you’re a “regular” SEO and you are a douchebag fucktard that only will associate with “famous” SEO fucktards because you think that’s the only way you’re going to get anywhere:

Fuck You Too

If you’re a “regular” SEO and friendly to the people that are friendly to you, help your colleagues, and give everyone a chance whether they’re famous or not:

Thumbs Up To You

If you’re a human and buy me a beer at the next conference :)

Thumbs Up To You

  1. ha ha ha ha…. too good Brother Hat… just finished my own entry. I generally dislike ‘popular drama’ but simply couldn’t resist this one (gave me a new business idea even).

    Beers are on me!

  6. Here! Here!

    “People shouldn’t want to be famous, they should just want to make some connections.”

    Those were my sentiments when I first met you at PubCon. I thought it was cool that just a few of us were hanging out at that side-bar rather than trying to get with the celebs at Wynn central.

    BTW - I tried to buy you some beers, but you grabbed the tab. Hope that counts for something, but I still owe ya!

  13. Oh for the LOVE…!! You went and made me laugh (and sing a few Amen and Hallelujahs), so then I had to go add you to my feedreader. I already have way too many feeds to read. I don’t have time for this. Would all y’all stop posting these hilarious rants and let me get back to work!?

  15. And why in the world does that MyBlogLog non-icon next to my post go to a profile for /cutegirlblog… WTF??! I never claimed I’m a cute girl. That’s not me. You can tell because I have fewer friends.

  16. Good question. I guess the lack of a URL caused a glitch. Or the internet overlords don’t like you or something.

    OK, you got it right. “Famous” SEO should be the ones that share their tips the most and to try help other SEO newbies like myself.

    You got me. Next time I attend you I´ll buy you a Tequila Shot.

    Saludos.

  18. Nice… so the lesson here is: “Don’t be a douchebag”. I’d say that’s good advice for any industry.
