Looking in my old yearbook, I found it fascinating who was chosen “Most likely to succeed”, “Best Couple”, or “Class Clown” (BTW- that was me in Jr. High) . Seems a lot of it was pretty much right on. The only thing I didn’t like about it is that on clique had editorial control on these lists. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to be the guy who makes the list.
Well, I just decided today that I AM gonna be that guy.
In the next few days, I’ll be developing the SEO Superlatives list. Yearbook style, with a male and female winner in each non-couple, non-group category.
I’ll open up nominations a day or so after all the categories are chosen. I need *your* help to generate the categories *you* would find the most interesting / entertaining / stupid, whatever. I think this will be pretty fun!
So far I have the following categories earmarked:
- SEO Most Likely to Succeed
- SEO Conference Clown
- SEO Couple
- SEO Party Animal
- SEO Flirt
- Smartest SEO
- Most Athletic SEO
- SEO Social Media Addict
- Best SEO Blogger
- Best Smile
- Best SEO Conference
Newly added superlatives! (from awesome commenters)

June 24th, 2008 on 7:25 pm
Few nominees:
Best up n comer – Ann Smarty, seosmarty.com
Viagra – slightlyshadyseo.com
Most giving – slightly ….
Best conference speaker – Michael Gray, for his give it up piece and for his funny analogy of sculpting pagerank to air conditioning your mailbox.
Most creative – I think yours truly has come up with a few innovative tactics this year that qualify me. Proposals on social media analytics, disguising paid links as adsense to go under the radar, cloning expired sites to ‘unbreak’ the links to them, considering your “distribution” to project how effective a content-based link strategy will be and more, ..
Also, for SEO party animal, I imitated your drinkbait and got dressed up as a cop arresting people for paid drink spam at smx west, in the middle of the whole paid link shouting match in the community… FUn times, and it’s all on Flickr ;)
