		<description>Great humor! But SEO is a dying industry for sure. A better way to improve your site's popularity is to build a site for the visitor, not the search engine. Visitor Experience Optimization (VEO) is the new buzz word!</description>

		<description>I'm into SEO and I can completely relate.. The bad ones bring a terrible reputation to those of us trying to offer an honest service.. It's getting so we'll have to change our job title just to find honest work for credible clients..</description>

		<description>@ Joanne - Thanks, I'm glad you can have a laugh about it. I'm not trying to piss off anybody, but I am trying to draw attention to this. There are better and worse ways to do internet marketing.

@ Joel - I think the problem is that the sleazebag internet marketers are legion and they're appropriating the term. The more honest or client-centered marketers, like the marketing professional in my little joke above get lumped into a category they'd rather not be in.</description>

		<description>Excellent explanation, I think I might have to borrow it for myself :) There are some great, trustworthy internet marketers out there, but you're right, it's getting harder to find them.</description>
