The Most Overoptimized LinkedIn Profile Ever Created

What is it you do again?

Subtlety is a tactic this SEO Evangleist [sic] keeps at a very comfortable distance. Optimizing your LinkedIn profile for keywords makes sense. But more is not always better.

I discovered this on LinkedIn years ago. Definitely not through a search engine. It’s still there!

Is this “SEO” LinkedIn profile serious or a deliberate exaggeration?

I have seen this earlier from a friend of mine. He did the same with his LinkedIn Account. And the organic result for the keyword Seo s****es in Vi**g” was fist position on first page. Absolute Awesomeness but not Ethical.

I am sure it is the most over optimized especially as a SEO company. I wonder how they are still ranking? What happened to all the Google updates in this case! I may do the same for my Instagram account and see what happens. Well, I may not!
