Well, time to come out of the cold there sailor and end that lonely feeling when everyone around you seems to know just what’s involved in taking a website out of its performance anxiety zone and remoulding it into one mean, lean search engine-efficient machine. Here are the ten hottest reasons why you should consider becoming a lifelong member (if you are not one yet) and getting all your mates to join:

1. We are hot: Only the leanest, most muscular dudes and the hottest women work in SEO. We know you want to associate with beautiful people even when you are boning up on the latest info to optimize your website.

2. We are cool: Whatever is happening in the online world (which will affect your SEO) we know about, analyze and let you know about (which is the cool part anyway).

3. We are hip: No shirt and tie or shoulder-padded pencil dress for any of us. We saunter in wearing skinny jeans, gelled hair and nothing less than the kind of tops which make SEO engineers (and their followers) elsewhere turn and stare with envy.

4. We are on Facebook: We haven’t joined the world’s most successful social networking website just so that we can talk amongst ourselves. We want you to share our knowledge and discoveries and tell all your friends about us.

5. We are blessed: We have a direct line to the source. SEO knowledge comes to us from on high and we read about it on stone tablets which then need to be deciphered before we can inform you. (Those of you have not been watching ‘The Legend of the Seeker’ or are not too sure about your Bible will find this strange, we understand, but rest assured it happens more often than you think).

6. We love what we do: We actually spend more time online, analyzing trends and poking inside the dark workings of search engines than is actually healthy. Sleep, we think, is a design fault and we are trying to fix it.

7. We want you to know everything: A lot of SEO experts parse out information the way cult leaders give ranks. They come with a lot of strings attached and several tomes of fine print and you just know the rules of engagement are going to change before you even know it and no one will tell you. We are not like that. We want you to share our excitement and know about SEO as much as we do.

8. We are on your side: SEO is, generally, a little like a magic act, the magician and the audience will collude to make the illusion happen but no one will really want the other to know all the details of the deal and the mechanics of it will remain shrouded in secrecy. We actually want you to see everything completely. If there is something happening in SEO we feel you should know about this is where we tell you oh and on the blog, of course: www.helpmyseo.com.

9. We take your time seriously: We know that you are not doing us a favour. You are into SEO because you want to know what you can do to win in the online game because your livelihood (or at least some of your earnings) depend on it. We want you to succeed too which is why we are so ready to give you ideas, tips and advice which really works.

10. SEO is as good as SEX: It’s a three letter word, right? Ok, this is really reaching a bit, even if Amazon itself thinks so and suggests that I am looking for ‘SEX Help’ every time I go into Books and type ‘SEO Help’. Still the afterglow of seeing your site on Google’s first page and seeing the new spikes in incoming traffic is about as post-coital in terms of feel-good factor as it can get with your clothes on.

So how about telling your friends about this. A page this good should not be a secret you keep just to yourself.
