Self-proclaimed SEO experts - eh, shut up

You sound extremely bitter, is it because the best you can do is owning a childish virtual pets forum?

What defines an Expert? Isn't it somebody who has the knowledge, ability and know-how in his or her respective industry to consistently better their competition? You're correct in acknowledging that the term or title is used very loosely around here and passed from one nobody to the next, though.

 

But you wouldn't consider either Aaron or Rand to be SEO Experts.
