A very funny and interesting posting! There’s nothing strange there are so many interesting quotes as SEO is hardly an easy job to do, so people just have to cope with it somehow and it’s great if it’s done with the help of laughter.

Wendy’s quote above is probably absolutely right, but I’m learning the hard way that “love” is the most subjective thing on the Internet.
Is “linkbait” love? It is in terms of getting attention and search traffic for a site. Does it communicate a brand effectively, one that people want to stick with? – Ay, there’s the rub. -
We need metrics that take seriously the demographics of visitors to sites. I’m almost tempted to make my readers fill out a survey.

I think the love that Wendy refers to is the Google rankings and ensuing traffic that result from links–baited or nonbaited.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned about love is that you have to give it to get it.

While he’s right on every part, especially about SEO not being spam, I can’t help but wonder if anyone’s ever thought that SEO is a little bag of tricks you find that work to a particular algorithm. :)

“Build a site for people not for search engine”

Your Lisa Barone quote is incorrectly attributed. Bruce Clay actually said that and Lisa repeated it, while correctly attributing it to Bruce in the source you submitted here. Just a head’s up! (Lisa pointed this out to me, thanks Lisa!)
July 16th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Thanks for letting me know, Briana. I did some checking and verified what you said with several other sources. Correction made.
