What'd you tell people about SEO when they ask "How do you do that?"
- SEO |
I used to give this long drawn out technical response. Now, my conversation usually goes:
Q: So what'd you do for a living?
A: SEO.
Q: I've always wondered, how do you do that?
A: Links.
(short pause with silence)
Q: Links?
A: Lots of good links.
Q: Thats cool.
A: Yep.
-end conversation
I try really hard to keep it short and sweet. Otherwise it could end up being a 3 hour conversation.
It could be someone at a bar, family member, marketing director, etc. People usually expect some magical answer that I just don't have. You either know what works really well, or just kinda well.
Would love to hear how you guys respond to:
What'd you do for a living exactly?
How do you do that? (referring to SEO)
Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.
What's your excuse?
