Hey Guys! Let’s Lay Off Gene Marks

Posted on: January 11, 2008 by Syzlak

So, I’m a little late. I missed that Gene Marks said small businesses don’t need a whole bunch of crazy tech solutions. That it’s easier to hold off until they have the wherewithal to pull it off. Thanks for filling me in SEOHack!

See I think we should lay off Gene. I know it’s easy for all us techies to get in a fervor when we hear someone attack our lifestyle of blade servers, integrated systems, FiOS, WiMax, SQL Databases and the like.

Wait, he said what? Small business doesn’t need Spam Filters, Virus Protection or Search Optimization? Oh yeah…

That guys a tard.

See, I was going to say that we shouldn’t pick on him because he’s a little slow and a poor writer.

And I’m also relieved to report that not only am I smarter than a fifth grader, I’m probably smarter than the 10 billion people watching that show.

Last time I checked there weren’t even 10 billion people in the world. Don’t believe me? You just need to ask my friend Loraine. She was hoping to count each individual on the planet in order to create the world’s first independent census. Luckily, I caught her just in time. I told her about the Web, and that this information could be gathered so much easier in a matter of just minutes. Where does she sit in ‘08? Smarter, safer and much less exhausted!

Go read an article from the aforementioned d-bag if you didn’t get the last paragraph.

So, Genie thinks that small businesses would be hindered by such things as spam filters and virus protection. I don’t think he realizes just how much spam one person can get in a day. Honestly, I’ve only ever worked for small businesses and I remember colleagues receiving over 1000 spam messages in a day. His suggestion is to simply force employees to deal with spam by themselves. Lord. In a 10 person company that’s at least a half a day lost every day. Maybe Genie hasn’t ever seen these levels of spam …maybe he should.

No need to have SEO, eh Genie? At this point you’re making Andy Keen look smart, especially since you refrain from claiming that being on the Web is useless too. Had you done that, I’d have said you’re short sighted, but I wouldn’t have said that you were an idiot. Now I’ve called you an idiot. Why? Why did you make me do that? See Genie, with any site that goes up on the Web, it’s a good idea for SEO to occur. By suggesting that companies refrain from employing SEO, you’re actually encouraging them to waste more money.

I can talk slower if that’s what you need.

If you don’t SEO a site from launch. Then you will essentially pay twice for it. Once when you use a stupid-ass Yahoo Merchant template, and once again when an SEO/Web Design firm comes along and has to fix your mistake.

And another thing–

oh, Steve Earle’s Guitar Town just came on. I’m not angry anymore, nor do I want to piss on Genie for the next hour. It’s 4pm at my office. That’s when we start drinking (seriously 4pm Friday drinking hour), so I’m gonna rock with Steve and have a Whiskey.

Happy Weekend to All. I got something in the mail from MSN…I smell a post for Monday.

Oh, and I have no idea why this picture is here…just enjoy it
