You know you’ve been in Search too long, when…..
While moderating at SMX Sydney this year, I introduced Gord Hotchkiss (Enquiro) and Danny Sullivan (Searchengineland) and I thought, hang on. These guys have been in search for years. They obviously havent found what they are looking for, but not only that, how long is too long in the world of search engine optimisation. There I go, cant help myself, inserting relevant keywords such as search engine optimisation above and lets not forget the abbreviation SEO. Anyway, back to Danny and Gord, hardened men of search:
What should you watch out for, to recognise that maybe you have been in search too long:
- Your wife tells you she is pregnant and you worry about duplicate content penalties
- Your kids misbehave and you threaten to take away their Page Rank
- You consider keyword usage when writing your Christmas cards
- You see your children as your sub domains
- You approach a detour and tell your passengers thats its just a 302 temporary redirect
- You get lost and stop a stranger to ask where you can find a sitemap
- You get spidered or crawled you are very happy about it
- You worry that wearing a t shirt with writing under a sweater might incur a spam penalty
- Your kids get expelled and you ask the principal if you can submit a reinclusion request
If you didnt understand a word of the above, email me and I will send you a proposal. You obviously need search consulting.
