Spam is spam. And if it’s SEO spam, then it’s bad. But I agree that SEO isn’t spam. :P

And there are companies out there getting people to write SEO pieces for only $4 a pop, so you don’t apparently have to be rich either. (You should do a piece on those SEO groups–the ones who underpay writers and whatnot. Just an idea.)

Quality traffic you say? What and who is that exactly? Someone else who is trying to sell you something, or another blogger who had to voluntarily self-censor themself? Oh, sorry, I just must not believe enough or something. BTW, awesome job with the list, thar. I HEARD THAT’S WHAT YOUR READERS WANT, HUR.

I appreciate you standing up for the seo profession. I’m going to guess that the haters don’t have commercial sites and businesses that rely on quality traffic.

I know the clients i provide seo services to are more than appreciative of my work. They outrank their competitors and they are capturing the lion’s share of targeted search traffic!

Isn’t that whay all site owners want?

Thanks, as I agree with all of you I can’t add much. Besides you brian: As you did not experience it yourself you might suspect it but unfortunately you err. The same people that insult me for being a SEO on German Digg-clone YiGG, offend me by “telling” Polish jokes or calling me “subhuman” and other names the Nazi regime propagated.

This is the same mentality looking for a scape goat. We call it structural anti-semitism in social anthropology. If there are no jews to bash, find the next minority that is most suitable to be attacked.

That’s the “logic” behind it.

Read also the Wikpedia definition of hate speech, it encloses “profession”.

Btw.: I am user #2 at YiGG where I contribute just for fun and have over 350 front page postings. I submitted more or less 5 of mine own stories until now.

Defending SEO’s by saying that hating us is similar to anti-semitism or bigotry is a stretch.

I guess the good person of SU, who I’m sure isn’t indicative of SUs general opinion, has forgotten about real suffering in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world and is going to right the worlds ills and make SU pure. Where to start to educate such people…
SEO and proud - the link is a finger towards non-believers!

Good post. There will always be those that have nothing to say but negative things.

“to be fair, lots of low grade SEOs have pissed off a lot of people.”

Also to be fair, there are low grade people in every profession that piss a lot of people off (ambulance chasing lawyers, paparazzi journalists, athletes who abuse drugs, crazy astronauts, etc). I wouldn’t single out SEOs for the garbage on the internet.
