In reply to Joel. Good point! It's disappointing that you had to point it out at all #idiots

In reply to Owner of the car in the image. Haha, quite a few different reasons then! If it's a personal post then add it to your own site.

I wrote a post yesterday that people trusted. I even said it was fake, right within the post. People still didn’t figure it out.

In reply to 011100110110010. Dunno actually, because nobody wants to publish it because I use the word "fucker" and "shit". Or maybe because it has a meaning only for me, or it's shit 100%.

Hey Alessio,

You’re not the first nor will you be the last that talks about an over saturated market in terms of blogging about SEO. Barry Adams mentions it in a recent interview >>> http://www.craigaddyman.com/an-interview-with-barry-adams/

I think it’s because we’re a content-driven industry, and we’ve run out of things to write content about. We’ve blogged about everything and everyone and have run out of new things to say, so whenever something genuinely new arrives we all pounce on it and blog it to death several times over

Haha, I’m interested in finding out about this post of yours! When will we see it?

Hey Sean,
good post. I totally agree on what you’re saying here, because I feel the same.
As for myself…I started to do some guest post for example and I WAS really excited. But then , I decided to stop because I was saying really the same things and nothing grounbreaking for the SEO community, not telling about experiments, things I’ve done from a technical point of view and stuff like that.
So I thought: why should I write just because they asked me to do it? I am in the process where I’m learning a lot yet, and one thing for sure I’m seeing in the SEO community is “SATURATION”. Everyone is talking about the same things (maybe including myself) just to be part of the buzz for a topic, hot in that moment.

I have some SEO heroes, and I have to admit they are not the “usual” ones. But I’m glad because I like the person as human being first, and then as SEO. And trust me (for real this time), when you start knowing the human being behind the SEO, sometimes you have really bad surprises.

SEO community scared me a bit, because you have the feeling like : “oh, you are an SEO kid, so I don’t even bother answering you”. Is this supposed to teach me something about SEO? Why you are going around the world telling how great SEO is and how important is , and how you need new people, but when I ask something you don’t even bother to answer me because it’s taking you too much effort to get down from your pedestal?

I have one last post I would like to publish, like a sort of testament. and then silence for two more years or something. I will publish something funny and interesting FOR ME in my blog, but that’s it.

Thanks for this, I really liked it.
