I had no idea that somebody really fought for this. Really thank you for saving SEO.

This whole ordeal brought about some very hard questions that the SEO community will have to answer eventually. I’m fairly new to the game, but I’m gracious to you for your selflessness.

Great job Rhea!

I too am for better education, and have seen several certifications and “standards” pop up recently, especially in paid search and analytics, but when it comes to standards for SEO, I think the industry is still relatively behind. This seems to be OK, because general reputations allow us to qualify companies and individuals, however it would be nice for consumers to be able to compare apples to apples with trusted standards – but securing “SEO” as a trademark is definitely not they way to do so..

Keep up the great work!

I really love to see someone stick up for what they believe especially when it pertains to my industry. As Winston Churchill said “You have enemies? Good. That means you stuck up for someone, sometime in your life.”

Thank you Rhea! I was reading Alan’s piece the other day about the ethics in whistle blowing and whatnot and this is another example of SEO’s taking a stance and declaring “I’m one of the good ones, I do not condone shady behavior”. The idea of copyrighting SEO and the trademark of the name and terminology effects all of us, so thank you for taking up this cause.

Do we have an update, since this was posted, on your progress?

Excellent story Rhea, I could see hollywood getting their hands on this sometime soon the way SEO is progressing forward so fast and starting to claim some major media attention like you created here! Just watched ‘The Social Network’ the other night.. reckon will be watching ‘The SEO Saviour’ soon! :D lol
