I can't get away from SEO!

[Craig_F]

Thought I'd try to think of something take my mind off SEO for a few minutes. So, I thought to myself, "let's go find a battery charger for the bike."

2 minutes later I'm reading about battery charger algorithms!

Hmmm - I began to run a bath today and got interested in an SEO site and forgot about the bath water - remembered just before it oeverflowed the house!

I was given five beautiful rashers of farm-raised, homecured bacon the other day..

It was gorgeous.. not a hint of injected water or plastic packaging... it just exuded bacony goodness.

I put it on to cook.. warmed the pan first.. not too hot.. gently gently..

Trying not to let my anticipation make me pick as it cooked, I went to run a quick query.. all I needed was a phone number, couple of minutes max, good distraction from rumbling tummy... found the number on the second site.... but, what's this... an interesting looking result in the SERPs... something rather clever here thinks I... view source... oooo... check density... hmmm... quick look at the homepage.. uh huh.... backlinks... yep, yep... navigation... mmmm niiiice, good flow, use of words, distribution.... run a couple of queries on other keywords for the site... impressive placement... seductive little snippets... all the little duckies in a row... it's just a feel-good experience... I'm considering offering to bear the webmaster's children at this point..

25 minutes later... cough way into kitchen.. throw pan and bacon into sink... open windows and doors (10 pm on a cold autumn night I might add)... kick self repeatedly... punish self by going straight to bed without bacon supper and no internet..

............right after I check my logs first...

deejay, the story is funny enough, but the way your wrote that is hilarious! It might just be me, or my drink talking, but that spoke to me...

That's what happens to me all day! Ooooh, what a pretty little serp you are....

[deejay]

I'm just glad I'm not the only one, Craig_F!

Ooooh, what a pretty little serp you are....

*rofl* uhhh... I may actually have been heard to say this occasionally..

*lmao* have just been told I have a definite 'deejay's "come to mama, little boy"' look... apparently when something grabs my attention I suddenly lean forward in my seat and sqint (leer)and start tapping my non-mouse forefinger on my lips. *blink* I knew I did that when I'm sussing out a database problem... but the SERP thing is new.. Yikes!

deejay - that's a funny story.

Craig_F and deejay, you are not alone (I guess a lot of people here are like that).

This morning I received some add throught the post.

8.00 open the mail,

8.02 was on the internet trying to check their website and their ranking in SE

8.15 I was on the phone with somebody from that company trying to sell him a redesign and of course SEO,

I bet they will remove my address from their database now ;)

The last time it was when ... I opened a box of chocolate, same things happenned except that I sent an email instead of calling, the company was based in Canada :)

I think that it gets worse the more time you spend here ;)

dee-jay, you should write a column, or even a book. You're quite talented. Need an agent?

I hope 4eyes sees this thread - he has a great story about how he gets wrapped up in a WebmasterWorld thread and his dogs have to come tell him his food is burning!

Lol, I, just about, have earned enough to pay for the burnt saucepans, kettles, fryingpans, ovens, toasters, etc, over the last 7 years. I might just have been better off never having seen a PC. But then again, it was just part of my algo......

My family has hardly seen me in the last three weeks, and when they do, I'm speaking this strange language they've never heard before. I think they're going to commit me soon. Every night, my husband heads into the computer room before he goes to bed. He's even started suggesting that I go back to my "mom's" boards, instead of "working" all night. The nerve! lol

My co-workers are pretty much leaving me alone - even if I did try to explain what I'm working on, most of them would tune out after two sentences. They all just stood and stared when I started jumping up and down after we got our first hit from deepbot on one of our new pages.

LOL! you are all too funny. That's what I like about yuuu..

Hubby, who wants to be buried with a TV remote, has said I'll have the best mouse on the market in the box with me when I go.

He has said of my computer books "Why can't you collect shoes like other girls?"

and the worst..."She's always been happiest communing with Herds of Nerds."
