Is this the perception of seo? 1. SEO Like Voodoo and Witchdoctors, SEO is an evil term used to describe the ways SEO Optimizers believe they can beat the system by making you believe they know what will get your search ranking to the top. Most of the time SEO is achieved by throwing darts or mixing chicken bones with blood. Wow! After I paid $5000 to get SEO on my site, my sales have increased by 2!

Probably more like. SEOs: a group of geeks who believe they can out rank almost any site for any keyword. CLIENT: a group of people who think they can pay SEOs to do the above inside 4 weeks.
fyi, in UrbanDirectory members submit their own definitions and others vote on the most popular ones. The one above happens to be just that.
SEO is for a talented few. I do it for a living. As with anything anyone can claim they know what they are doing. Don't hate the sport if you back a loosing team. BIGBOB
