Jason Calacanis Drinks More Hatorade and Calls SEO’s Crooks

Jason Calacanis said SEO’s were Snake Oil Salesmen. I don’t feel like getting into the whole “Content is King” debate again. You have 2 options: 1) Good content without promotion or 2) Good content with promotion. #2 wins every single time. As long as there is a profit motive for good content, there is a profit motive for promoting it. SEO is one tool. SMO is another. But you need to be proactive.

So, I’m more of a picture guy and I get the hunch that Jason might be, too. Just to be helpful, I made a visual representation of the Snake Oil Salesmen Community.

The Competitive Internet Guys in the Snake Oil Salesmen Neighborhood

Get the point? Keep on hating.

Scoreboard,

Thanks for the laughs today. That’s a good one - best SEO joke I’ve seen in a while.

I don’t know why, but every time I see or hear the word “hatorade/haterade,” I think it’s funny.

That is freaking sick, I agree it is freaking enough already. If anything should be pointed out is that Calcanis is smart for getting links from search engine land and all the rest of em. Maybe I need to re-think my strategy to hatorade.
