Why “SEOidiot”

I am sure that many people think SEOidiot is a stupid name, why the hell would anyone want to be known as SEOidiot…

Well first heres the story of how I got my name: -

I was trying out a well known content generation tool and had started to discuss parts of the program with the creator (Sorry I am not going to name him here - Have a guess and i will let you know). This guy was a little abrasive at times and he didnt like anyone questioning him or his views… Anyone who knows me will tell you this is like a red rag to me, I am the sort of person who looks for a weak stop then keeps on pushing at that spot - good thing for SEO in my opinion.

So I just carried on baiting him and he started calling me an idiot - and then an SEOidiot. The name made me chuckle so I used it as my name on Syndk8 and it has stuck….

The reason I have kept it is: -

  1. I like it
  2. Its very memorable
  3. Earl suggested it suited me (I gave him the name Earl Grey after all)
  4. I like to play dumb - it really helps in this game… play dumb and keep working quietly - hehe
