Yeah, I am an SEO and much of the Internet hates me. Of course most of the people who rail against SEO’s have a very misguided idea about what an SEO actually is but part of the beauty of the Internet is that you don’t have to know what the hell you are talking about to be considered an expert.

Lol ... i'm a law student n love SEO way more. Oh, and lawyers can be a pretty shady bunch too, not to mention frequently rigid and tough on the bench!

Utah: True, he's got the double negative (so I suppose it ends up as a positive).

James: Pure evil

Gab: Yeah, when you are intimate with the law you know all the ways to be shady while staying legal.

Sphinn because, as much as I hate it, you are right. We will not likely be able to change the made-up minds of the masses. Instead, we must give the baby what it wants. I just with it would shut the baby up sometimes.

I think most of the "hate" originates from demographics that probably won't be needing our services until they reach adulthood. I'm skeptical that successful business owners and professionals are trolling SU looking for evil SEO's to threaten.

It's just a bunch of bored, malajusted kids.

This is the best post listed on Sphinn right now. It shows maturity and if you really take in what he says, you will be a more confident and happier SEO professional.

Funny quote from soult at reddit:

"I'd say we ban all sites with SEO in it. Those are just pic-stealing link whores anyway."
