I have to agree with William on how funny the whole thread was and with Mel on how sad it is that he is a mod. on that forum. Last but not least I have to agree with Phil that he does not have a clue about SEO. Nice Blog.

I have to agree with William on how funny the whole thread was and with Mel on how sad it is that he is a mod. on that forum.

Last but not least I have to agree with Phil that he does not have a clue about SEO.

More important to me is the fact that I’m hearing more and more people say things like “my SERPs” and “my spot at Google”..

People have talked about “my rankings” since search engines began. Usually they mean the rankings that their pages have/had, but some may actually feel that they have a right to them, so that when an update drops them down the rankings, they probably feel that the engine has done something that is morally wrong.

I wouldn’t paint Ken with that brush though. He just doesn’t seem to know the difference between a SERP and a ranking ;)

ROFLMAO :D The not-so-veiled threats were also very poor etiquette IMO - I used to respect Greeneagle's (Ken's) opinions, but for me he lost all credibility during the course of that thread. And he claims his company turned over $200k in SEO last year?! Well, that was a waste of company money... XN Nipple, Rotating Choking Sleeve and Dual Zone Completions – competitive – come on?!

But if someone wants to take advice from just one source and run with it as if it were truth without verifying anything, well, that really is their problem to live with.. More important to me is the fact that I'm hearing more and more people say things like "my SERPs" and "my spot at Google".. It may be simple semantics to some people, but I really see this as yet another trend in control of the internet and the threat to use legal means to enforce it.. Right or wrong..

While the Perp in this instance was actually a Moderator at that forum (which has made some colussal errors in the Mod department in the past) you can see that he is really not very clued up in the SEO department. What bothers me is when someone gets a mod title in a large forum and proceeds to disseminate bad information. For those of us who know better we can shrug it off with a wry smile, but newbies may read that disinformation and lap it up. I consider the entire thread as sort of an surreal comedy but others may not see it that way. IMO you have to consider the source.

All I got out of that entire thread, honestly, was that someone needs to answer the cloofone rather quickly. Well, and a good laugh when it was finally shown in 2 days time just how uncompetitive those keywords were in a way even Ken could not argue with any longer.
