seos perceived as...A week ago, we asked our readers to vote on their thoughts on if Google sees SEOs as criminals. If you remember, this is based on the double-standard that some bloggers feel Google is placing on some groups over another group.

With just under a 150 responses, I wanted to share how we (SEOs) perceive how Google sees us.

Question: Does Google See SEOs as Criminals?

:: Only Some Groups of SEOs said 77 respondents or 52% :: Yes said 43 respondents or 29% :: No said 25 respondents or 17% :: Other answer... said 3 respondents or 2%

It is very interesting looking at how SEOs perceive how Google sees SEOs. Kind of a circular statement there, but you know what I mean.
