SEO Jokes

My colleague Roy made me laugh today, and not a little, over this very geeky SEO joke:

Me: “Hey, we’re ranking for duplicate content.”

Roy: “How often?”

Now, if you can laugh about that, you know you’re doing good as an SEO and probably bad in your personal life :). Any more SEO jokes you guys want to share with me?

    “Wat Google niet kent, dat “eet” hij niet”

    Dutch proverb, which doesn’t exist in the English language, I think.. not that funny, but hey, your joke was corny (flauw?) to.

    Jech, I hate to write English, I rather read it :(

    Haha, had a good laugh here :P

    And my wife can’t understand what I’m laughing about. That means I’m a SEO nerd too and my wife thinks I’m geeky.

    I love the jokes on urbandictionary.com


    Like Voodoo and Witchdoctors, SEO is an evil term used to describe the ways SEO Optimizers believe they can beat the system by making you believe they know what will get your search ranking to the top. Most of the time SEO is achieved by throwing darts or mixing chicken bones with blood.”

    Wow! After I paid $5000 to get SEO on my site, my sales have increased by 2!

    and even more funny, the related words

    This seems a fave here at the office:

    Hey, this site is now ranking nr. 1 in Google!
    Reply: Ok, and what if you turn your personalized search off?

    Yup, we’re nerds :)

    “You might be an SEO if…”

    “On your honeymoon, you put a “nofollow” sign on the door…”
