So I like the webmaster post, sorry to cross over threads, but I wanted to say that. I also use the word SEO for (super easy oddly) somehow everyones ontous and maybe (search each other) for all the missing links that is :)

great list. I think my resume just expanded. Instead of spelling out Search Engine Optimization I think I’ll just list SEO and watch my job prospects go wild.

I think you’re fine in this case, Luis. Nowadays the Google algorithm is sophisticated enough to be able to discern the type of SEO that you’re referring to, search engine optimization, the more popular SEO, at least for now :)

I never knew there were so many, the only ones I considered all started with “search engine” and ended with, optimize or optimization. I use the “SEO” acronym in my posts tags, and as keywords in my meta tags, along with the complete “search engine optimization.”

I guess I should stop this?

Do you think this could lead to displaying non-relevant ads? I mean, I do include the written out version just in case. The reason I use the acronym is to catch the traffic from people who don’t bother to spell the entire word out.

Any thoughts?

That’s a real pearl, David. Sewage Enforcement Officer sounds kind of like SPAM reporting.
