Not what he means by SEO. Did you read the article?
The description of Droid from Google:
"Get to know Droid a little better. Droid Does the Network. Droid is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, the most reliable network available."
This tells me Droid is Verizon, but nothing else. Two of three sentences are useless. When I search for iPhone:
"iPhone 3GS is a GSM cell phone that's also an iPod, a video camera, and a mobile Internet device with email and GPS maps."
iPod, video camera, mobile Internet, email, GPS. If I don't know what an iPhone is, I do now. Meanwhile, a personal test I've run suggests the average college student doesn't know what Droid is, and this search doesn't help.
Subdomains for the Droid link:

I can't think of anything else I'd need to know on first glance. Apple gives me everything.
I think parts of SEO are bullshit same as you, but this article made some great points and it bugs me that you're getting upvoted for saying something that had nothing to do with the article's point.
- kwamenum86 17y agoSearch Engine Optimization is for maximizing your chances of appearing higher in search results than other websites. The OP's point is that SEO doesn't matter in this case. Before seeing this post I did a Google search for Droid as well and found that site. The site is awful and it could use some sprucing up- I did not even explore the site. But SEO is the least of its concerns.
- unalone 17y agoSearch Engine Optimization means optimizing for search engines means if your metadescription on Google sucks and your sublinks are nonexistent, you have bad SEO.
- tumult 17y agoNo, the point of SEO is to drive you up higher in search results. Droid is already at #1. There's nowhere for it to go. A crappy site and meta tag are unrelated.
- Nwallins 17y agoThat is one goal of SEO. Another related goal is to have the search result's blurb compel the user to actually click on the link.
- unalone 17y agoThat's part of SEO. But if you're optimizing for search engines, that includes controlling how your result shows up and what extra things show up too. If you want to stick to your pedantic definition, then I'll put it like this: Apple isn't just at #1, they have an additional eight links present before anything else shows up. Droid has one link to their nine.
