It hurts me deeply that HN has become a stage for the SEO circus. Wasn't "Spinh" enough?

SEO has a negative connotation because of all the jerks associated with it, not because some of the SEO stuff doesn't make sense or isn't worthwhile. For example, to the world at large, a "hacker" is "a bad guy", whereas here on hn, it means precisely the opposite. SEO is sort of like that. To be a self-described "SEO"-person or something means you're probably one of the jerks ruining it for everybody. That doesn't mean SEO, or at least parts of it, is a bad thing. Edit: Above post was deleted while I was writing mine. It basically defended the link saying "SEO is a necessary part of any startup."
