Not most SEO types. But some of them are like the Mafia, particularly when they try to get everyone to go along with their immature omerta. "Don't tell anyone any secrets," they whine on Sphinn even though the web is all about openness and transparency.

Fantastic post Donna, you merged two of my favorite topics!

@ Crimsongirl, first of all, your comment strikes me as the "whining" one and secondly, you're delusional if you think the web "is all about openness and transparency." Tell that to Google. Do you know what percentage of each click you're paid through AdSense? Nope. Do you know what things will and won't get you banned from the index? Nope. Not to mention all the thousands if not millions of sites out there charging for information! eBooks, forums, ecourses, themes, plugins, the list goes on and on. Maybe you are all about openness and transparency but the web as whole certainly is not.

cg, you have some very, very strange conceptions. Seriously.

even though the web is all about openness and transparency.

Try telling that to Google when trying to find out how much you spent on click fraud.

Btw, why is it that a woman who is so hung up on "openness and transparency" hides absolutley all identifying information about herself in her profile?

@crimsongirl, openess and transparency are good, but you're not going to see Coke or KFC giving out their secret recipes in their pursuit of those goals. As SEOs and SEMs we are involved in business and any competitive advantage allows us to perform better for our clients and ourselves. Trade secrets ave been around long before we came on the scene.

Reminds me of the words of an old SEO Don (from the Carolina branch of the Genovese family I believe), "When in a room of SEOs you don't know, keep your ears open and mouth shut."

Trust between and among peers is a big factor when it comes to sharing in this business and that old Don's commandment serves many of us well.

Keep your friends close, keep your competitors even closer.

Yes we are Mafia, an informed minority! Bagabing bagabung!

Now do a search what is the meaning of Mafia and maybe you will understand what I am talking about, but I doubt it.

I thought it was "Bada Bing Bada Bong"?

So, whom umongst us is the Teflon Don?
Whom is the untouchable?
Whom walks where only the shadows lurk?

Rand? Danny? Michael?

Personally, I know who works the strings, but I dare not say as the retribution of the Family shall bomb me from Google forever. ;-)
