I just stumbled over a post at Blogger Unleashed and I got slapped in the face by search engine optimization. Check out the headline and the first paragraph:
Entrecard Sucks And There Is No Doubt
Entrecard sucks and the debate keeps on and on if indeed Entrecard sucks. Time will only tell if Entrecard sucks but I would bet that indeed as most traffic exchanges Entrecard will die the same death as those in the past.
You know which site is on top if you type in "Entrecard sucks" at Google. I know a lot of bloggers make their living from blogging and I know that they need search engine optimization to get traffic and get clicks from their ads.
But...
Sometimes it's just annoying to read search-engine-optimized posts. The same phrase over and over again. There are good posts with subtle SEO and then there are those I-don't-care-who-had-to-reads-this-as-long-he-finds-my-site-and-clicks-my-ads posts. I have a little song in my head: "SEO kills the thesaurus....SEO kills the thesaurus" (please include the music of 'Video kills the radio star'). Poor synonyms nobody will need them anymore.
By the way, I used the phrases "Entrecard sucks" and "search engine optimization" pretty often in this post. I will watch my Google Analytics reports closely and I will inform you how many visitors will have found this post through these two keywords.
Oh, before I forget to mention: Entrecard doesn't suck!
