    This ranks right up there with trying to be a world class golfer while only playing golf during your lunch break from your job at Wal-Mart

  7. jobsearch Says:

    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.

  8. Bryan Says:

    i really like this one

  10. ashok Says:

    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.

  11. Emory Rowland Says:

    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.

  12. Marketing Meerkat Says:

    I quite like Lee Odden’s quote. Funny :P

  13. Internet SEO Says:

    My rule of thumb is build a site for a user not a spider. — Dave Naylor
    this should be every one’s rule of thumb!

  14. High Search Engine Optimization Ranking Says:

    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. :)

  15. Ashley Says:

    Nice SEO quotes. I like,there are three keys to good SEO: communication, content and backlinks this quote very much. By using these keys only we can get a better result. Relevant content and Back links are very efficient to make the site get a higher rankings in all search engines..

  16. Internet SEO Says:

    I read this while ago,
    “Build a site for people not for search engine”

  17. Briana Malmstrom Says:

    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!)

  18. Emory Rowland Says:

    Thanks for letting me know, Briana. I did some checking and verified what you said with several other sources. Correction made.

  19. Nazre Imam Says:

    i enjoyed the QUOTES, very effective and very very practical. It increased my knowledge regarding SEO.
