How Are SEOs Like Jellyfish?

I need a humor break.

I responded to buybigtires' post about passion in writing by suggesting that connecting disparate concepts helps squeeze some creative juice. In response to my proposal of the title "How Are SEOs Like Jellyfish?" he responded like this:

Because we have no spine....are constantly kept in the dark....and are classified as perpetual drifters.

I love it! I would have said "We are constantly subjected to search currents, are somewhat indescribable, and likely to sting if you try to figure out what we are made of."

In the spirit of self-deprecating humor, I'll throw a couple more straight lines.

How Are Search Marketers Like:

  • Neapolitan Ice Cream?
    • We are 1/3 boring content, 1/3 sweet bait, and 1/3 dark secrets.
  • Farm Equipment?
    • We have silly names like BobCat and Caterpillar.
  • Lawn Furniture?
    • The cheap ones don't last long and most people don't want to pay for the good stuff.
  • Zebras?
    • We are either professionals pretending to be "angry, pubescent, World-of-Warcraft-addicted anti-marketers" or "angry, pubescent, World-of-Warcraft-addicted marketers" pretending to be professionals. But no one knows which.
Come on Mozzers, show us your funny bones!
