Hey Emory,
I like this list. And yeah, I can relate.
Sometimes you have to keep it simple. That is what I’m actually experimenting with, one of my blogs.
Keeping the SEO simple, and focusing more on high quality content.
Thanks for sharing this!
Regards.
Hi Emory,
Love this! Very creative and funny! #6 is true for me. I’ve never thought of #8 but a good idea for other terms to have them checked every once in a while. You never know when someone will sell a domain name.
I also appreciate good humor. This list is funny and relatable to SEO people. I always find great content on Leverable and kept coming back to stay informed. Keep up the good work.
“You refuse to read books with titles longer than 60 characters” I love this.
