Comments on: As an SEO, what do you tell people you do for a living? http://www.stuckonseo.co.uk/as-an-seo-what-do-you-tell-people-you-do-for-a-living-1148.html Internet marketing services Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:23:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dave Ashworth http://www.stuckonseo.co.uk/as-an-seo-what-do-you-tell-people-you-do-for-a-living-1148.html/comment-page-1#comment-222 Dave Ashworth Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:22:16 +0000 http://www.stuckonseo.co.uk/?p=1148#comment-222 This struck a chord with me as I moved into SEO from a technical background very recently so have been asked on more than one occastion, each time the answer varies - from "getting sites no.1 on Google when you search for something" to "messing around on Facebook setting up groups for websites" (tell people you use Facebook for a living and they are often genuinely shocked). It doesn't really matter though as more often than not people will just surmise it was "works on the internet". Back when I was a "web developer", I used to say I was Spiderman (will get my coat), so currently looking for something as equally sad, geeky and amusing to myself to sum up SEO. Not come up with anything yet though.
