I think what SEO community needs is less talk and more work, everybody wants to set himself as an authority in that space to satisfy his ego or to attract big clients losing the focus on improving his/her service.

You included some good advice but SEO can not be as clean as you want it to be, not all website has enough good content to attract links without some artificial link building that might make you look like a spammer sometimes (if you are not smart enough)

The worse that could happen to any SEO is reading more and more trying to find out the best system that works for him, go and act make some mistakes that what will get you to learn 10 times than reading blog posts that been written most the time by the book guys, you need some times to be the street boy.

I guess I hadn’t really observed some of these behaviors before, but I can see how they would be frustrating. Thanks for the tips. Hopefully we will find more pleasant SEO experts out there from now on!

I also rank pretty well for “SEO Porn”… unfortunately, people who get to my site from that phrase are inevitably disappointed. More so than usual, I mean.

(I feel like I’m starting to channel SEO Hack.)

I tire of the acronym SEO. Enjoy ranking for the term “SEO Jerk”. Well done.

I genuinely canā€™t think of anything more boring than SEO, except, perhaps, a self-styled ā€?SEO Expert.ā€¯

Really, you can’t think of anything more boring than SEO? My life is filled with things that are exponentially more boring. You must live a very exciting life Makes me wonder why in the world you’d bother to read this blog if you find SEO (and its practitioners) so dreadfully dull.

John, your comment makes me wonder if people reading this post think I’m hating on SEOs, that I think all SEOs are jerks. That’s certainly not what I think, and not what I was attempting to do in this post. Like any industry, the search engine optimization industry is filled with some awesome people and others who are jerks. I was merely pointing out SEO-specific jerky things to do.
