Pretty sure “Fuzzy SEO” falls into the same category of Orwellian “Doublethink”.

It’s supposed to be the “act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct” or “talking crap” as the rest of us understand it as.

Causeration Explanation Disorder – The inability to write a blog post without pointing out the difference between correlation and causation. The symptoms of the Causeration Explanation Disorder are often mistakenly attributed to intelligence, but are soon correctly diagnosed as arrogance.

A “muchcutts”.

A unit of measure that measures how “much” you should worry about something, as explained in the Google Webmaster Videos, as in:

“I wouldn’t worry about [insert ranking factor here]……………..MUCH”.

Which of course means, you should of course worry about it, somewhat.

So, checking whether a blog link is a dofollow one or not would be .1 muchcutts, your keyword density would be 2 muchcutts, and your anchor text profile would be something like 50 muchcutts.

Creative Keywords – Just (Not Provided), but then with a better name. Who cares? You can find out the landing pages and still find out where the traffic comes from. You should know what people are looking for when they are looking for your site.
If you want to rank for bananas, whilst you sell 4th hand cars, the conversion rate of Bananas will be very high I think. Hence the Creative Keywords. (!)

KEYWORD VANITY DISORDER (KVD) – Clients that fall in love obsessively with ONE f*cking keyword, and bug you non stop about its daily position, the discrepancies of position between 2 computers, the fact that that they are not #1 for this keyword although they are being found for 1000s of variations of it, with millions in sales… THEY ARE NOT HAPPY UNTIL THEIR KEYWORD IS NUMBER 1.
