There are a number of reasons you shouldn&#8217;t be reading this.<\/p>\n<p>1. I can&#8217;t spell for shit.<\/p>\n<p>2. I use a lot of English slang which people over in the colonies, who had a hissy fit at paying a few taxes so they threw their tea in the water and went from George Washington to George Bush, can&#8217;t understand me.<\/p>\n<p>3. I&#8217;ve started swearing on my blog. I think it&#8217;s both amusing and clever.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>4. I&#8217;m not really an SEO, just some guy who likes to lounge around in his underwear watching day time TV rather than work in an office with a pot plant. I find if you just talk about how important H1 tags are no one will notice.<\/p>\n<p>5. I&#8217;ve read books, most SEO&#8217;s have never read a book and consider it strange.<\/p>\n<p>6. If I wasn&#8217;t making money online I&#8217;d be a night shift security guard at a regional museum.<\/p>\n<p>7. I think Jason Calacanis is Cool.<\/p>\n<p>8. I&#8217;ve never been to an SEO conference.<\/p>\n<p>9. I think most people who use the Internet for longer than 8 hours are weird. Except me, I&#8217;m extra normal.<\/p>\n<p>10. I think the SEO industry is way too white.<\/p>\n<p>11. I think SEO is easy, but mostly repetitive and boring. After ten years of honing my craft I don&#8217;t find it difficult at all.<\/p>\n<p>12. I use Wikipedia a lot and even link to it.<\/p>\n<p>13 I use Alexa constantly and love the spikes in my traffic.<\/p>\n<p>14. I think the little green bar is cool, and if I ever go to PR 6 will throw a party in it&#8217;s honour.<\/p>\n<p>15. I always fast forward the Webmaster Radio commercials.<\/p>\n<p>16. I once disagreed with Danny Sullivan.<\/p>\n<p>17. You could be spending time with a beautiful woman, or man, or two women under a moonlit sky, by the beach, sipping drinks garnished with umbrellas. Why do they do that? The umbrella? What&#8217;s the purpose? I mean, I realise that a stick with a cherry on the end is not simply a garnish, you get to eat it. But an umbrella?<br \/>\nOr is it a parasol? They look like parasols to me, you know, to keep the sun off. I&#8217;ve never seen anyone use a life sized parasol.<\/p>\n<p>18. I tend to go off on tangents and get distracted.<\/p>\n<p>19. I still don&#8217;t know what latent semantic indexing is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lets be honest.
