Maybe I seem to run into more people because I am in the business of doing seo and local seo but I seem to run into a new person that claims they are an expert in the field on a daily basis. I feel like it is 2004 and everyone is a mortgage broker. I received a card just recently from a person that was claiming the title of SEO Expert. So being the detective I am I decided to take a looksy at their site. To my surprise and dismay their site was not in one bit optimized and they were what I am calling an SES Expert ( Snake Elixir Salesman).
Now should a person in my shoes that knows a little bit about SEO be happy because my competition doesn't know a title tag from a name tag? In one sense I am relieved because this will probably not let me have to worry about them ever catching up to my efforts or abilities.
Now that is a small part of me that feels this. The other bigger part on how I feel is disgust. Here we have a slimmy Sam going around claiming he can optimize and rank but doesn't have a clue on how to do it himself. This will give the whole industry a bad name. People that use this company will come to realize that they should have spent their money on lottery tickets and at the dog track, because the odds of success are similar.
If you are an SEO professional please drop me a comment, I want to hear your opinion. Let me know if you feel the same or different or if I am a bitter sour puss.
