The SEO community went after Charles Preston pretty hard over the weekend. I went after Verified SEO, (his main site) only to see if I could rank above all the other SEO’s that were targeting that name. Last time I checked I was #1.

Charles Preston’s heart very well could have been in the right place but the fact that he owns an SEO service and wanted access to other SEO’s clients seem a bit bothersome to me. But then that’s just me.

But this post is not really about Charles Preston, it is more about the SEO community as a whole.

The SEO industry has been plagued for years with a lack of consistency and understanding of SEO terms and definitions.

Forums are full of inaccurate information as SEO’s try to understand the industry were they sell their services.

I find it funny the number of SEO’s that spend their days on forums posting about search engine optimization yet, their sites are no were to be found in the search engines.

I don’t know the answer to the problem that plagues the SEO community; I do agree that Charles Preston is not the answer, unless he is willing to get rid of his SEO business.

But at the same time I am equally sure that Edward Lewis isn’t the answer.
