Happy MLK Day From SEOJ

Everywhere I look today I see two things: Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It truly is a day of rejoicing and celebration. Tomorrow, the nation will celebrate a historic event in the first black man taking the highest office in the land.

The cool thing about search engine optimization is that it doesn’t discriminate. We may have a history of discrimination in the U.S. but the search engines have no such history. Good optimization works for one man as well as it does for another man without consideration for race, creed, religion, nationality, gender, sexual identification, or country of national origin. If you do it right then the system works for you. If you fail, you fail according to your own shortcomings.

Is that what Martin Luther King Jr. meant when he said he hopes his children live in a world where they are judged by the content of their character? The election of Barack Obama as president is one more step in that direction and if Washington D.C. were a search engine I’d say that SEO is working.
