(www.seomegacorp.com) An example of gullibility and noobishness
I couldn’t help to point out this extreme example noobishness and gullibility exhibited by blogger Mandish Pandy. Recently she (he?) wrote this post about how it is easy to rank for competitive terms:
http://www.seomegacorp.com/blog/2008/think-it-takes-2-3-years-to-rank-think-again/
Excerpt:
started the designing work for it myself. Later in July we finally launched the site, and we ranked in October, for few of the industry’s toughest terms seo company (currently #16), seo services (currently #31), seo news (currently #17) and seo news blog (currently #4).
Sorry to bust her bubble but those are NOT competitive terms by any stretch of the imagination. Ranking on page three for the keyword “SEO” or “Search engine optimization” would be impressive but ranking number four for “seo news blog” and then bragging about it is just laughable.
A google query for “I am a dickhead” turns up over 1.3 million results but that doesn’t mean anyone actually searches for that phrase.
On the other hand a google query for “crab sandwich” turns up only 172 thousand results but this is a term that some people actually search for.
There is a stark difference between ranking for arbitrary useless keywords and ranking for keywords that humans actually search for. Pandy, who is a few cards short of a deck, doesn’t seem to realize this and is a legend in her own mind.
Even more outlandish and preposterous is that she offers SEO services on seomegacorp.com. But I think I’ll pass. I can rank for “SEO services company news blog” without her help, thank you very much.

[...] I was performing some google searches for various SEO related topics and I came across yet another morsel of stupidity and noobishness from another so called ’seo consultant’. Yesterday I had thought I have witnessed the pinnacle of SEO-blogger idiocy, but this entry takes the cake. [...]
