Dude
I hate my job!
You should quit
and look into
SEO and internet
marketing.
My grandma
told me all
about it...
Feeling desperate,
he goes online and
researches all about
SEO.
He spends around
$2000 on SEO courses
and begins to learn all
about link networks,
forum profiles, social
bookmarks, and more...
He is excited!
He puts his new found
knowledge to work and
in a few months is
making a couple bucks
with adsense!
One day while visiting his favorite forum he hears how Google is planning an update to combat spam and crappy websites.
"I got nothing to worry about, he says, my strategies are all legit, all the experts in the forum use them and I am making mucho money!"
The next day he opens
his computer and realizes
his website is a ghost
town, his adsense earning
are at $0.00 and his
niche site is in page
2000 in Google results!
Screw you Google
and your stupid
$@&#ing Panda.
How could you do
this to me?!!?
Dont you know my
crappy niche site is
all I had!
How could you ....
After 3 months of depression, he returns to the forums to see
whats working now. He is determined to making millions online!
He quickly learns that the way to trick Google now is by spinning
articles 2.5 million times and submitting those article to private
blog networks.
10 months later he has a brand new site ranking and earning some money from adsense ads.
Life is Great!
Then the next Google update hits...
Screw you Google and
all your little retarded
zoo animals!
You really are the devil
and you must die!
Who do you think you are?
Many Years Later...
Moral of the Story:
Stop trying to trick Google and start creating things that matter!
The End

Hahaha, this is so true. And it’s a part of my aversion to SEO.
Besides, isn’t SEO outdated anyway? There are so many ways you can get traffic…
Hey Violeta glad you liked it.
Even though some part of “SEO” is still needed for search engine optimization purposes (which was the original intent) I think the Blackhat, Whitehat, and any other rainbow color type of SEO talk should not be in anyone’s vocabulary.
Yet, you see forums, tools, courses and other things still remain popular…
Creating awesome epic content is so much more rewarding and it is a lot easier to leverage.
Thanks for the comment 🙂
Great comic. A timely reminder on SEO stuff. It still works, but in the end, it’s all about content 🙂
This is awesome! Really cool storyline and graphics. I like that it was his grandma that told him about SEO lol. This is a really nice site you have here. I’m sharing this out. Thanks! -Chris
Glad you liked it Chris!
SEO got to the point that even grandmas knew about it. People keep chasing bad information on trying to outsmart Google and customers which is even worse. In my opinion, creating epic things is a much more sustainable business model…
Thanks for the comment.
You are a good story teller. You could have easily called your article – Death of an SEO in Googledise
[…] The Journey of an Average SEO – True Story, Epicster […]
hahaha. I like the way you described it.
This is hilarious! Shared to my followers.. Damn Google updates!
I like the philosophical’s side of the end of the story. It makes oneself think about the way he trys to make things working out with the bad, ugly, and limitless Google !
Ah ah ah so true ! But i hope SEO will never die !
hahaha this is so me when I was starting out :P:P:P Great piece of content… must share… preciooooous 🙂
I also liked the way you told the story the end is little sad the term average SEO you means that most of SEOs are using black hat?
