SEO is not the real thing. SEO is cutting corners. SEO is not the solution. SEO is bullshit.

SEO is putting your name as something other than your actual name in the hope of getting ranked, when it quite clearly doesn’t work.

SEO is putting a signature in your comments despite the fact that you’ve already put it in your name.

SEO is completely unaware of the irony that exists in this comment.

SEO is using the most SEO-friendly blogging platform, as acknowledged by Matt Cutts and SEOs, to post this.

SEO is also making occasional shoddy attempts at linkbaiting like this.

I like your point. I may not agree….with my fancy interactive media degree held high….but I like your point.

My site of course doesn’t reflect my prowess…as I am a lazy designer

SEO is whatever you can be bothered to do about it.

If done properly, its great - if done poorly its bullshit !!

I guess when one works at their own SEO without really knowing what to do, then the results will be crap - thus - the statement of SEO is bullshit is true in that respect.

Eh, I don’t really give a crap about SEO either. I’ve only been using that ALL-IN-ONE-SEO plugin and that’s about it. I know I’m losing on my end since I’m not putting it at top priority, but I don’t care much :)
