There has already been a few blogs talking about this Clinton guy who is claiming to be the one that invented/started/dreamt up the abbreviation ‘SEO’ so I’m not going to regurgitate it all over again. Instead I shal direct you to the post over at Huomah: SEO Being Trademarked, Again!
What I did want to point out, just for the hell of it is that this ego-head makes a number of odd claims in the application but one that made me giggle a n octave higher (my dog took notice) was that Google even recognises his name as a keyword. Ermmm…oooooookay…
He means the suggestions that Google makes when you start typing into the search box, the clever little buggar makes suggestions for you (to save your poor fingers having to type the entire sentence) as hilarious and ridiculous as some may be. There is an amusing rant about it here but I digress…What I wanted to show you is that Google recognises ME as a keyword too. In fact it recognises me as a more important and popular keyword than Clinton. I don’t have to type in as many letters in my name for myself to be suggested AND according to the drop down there are more results for my name. Does that mean I could make a claim on the SEO trademark? I reckon I could come up with plenty of reasons why it should belong to me. I would slip in that I wrote a song about it, that I lost my virginity shouting it, that I embroidered it into my first hand knitted set of thermals.
