I’m an SEO dark lord (apparently)
SEOMoz have released another beautiful piece of linkbait. It is both beautiful to look at and very nicely executed: SEO quiz. But then I would say that because they have played to my ego perfectly. I got 93% making me an SEO ‘dark lord’:
I’m not too disappointed to have missed out on full marks (OK, I’m a little disappointed), but of the questions I got wrong, one had the following in the explanation:
This is a tough question, and the answer is even somewhat debatable
Needless to say, I would debate that one…
Another was on the definition of SEO versus SEM. There were two sensible answers (one having SEM as a superset of SEO including PPC and one having SEM effectively meaning PPC). I have heard it used both ways and picked a different one to the ‘mozzers.
Ah well. It’ll do.

A badge? No, a Dark Lord would get a brand. A giant SEO DARK LORD brand on their neck. It would be awesome.
