I agree they're being very silly. But what do you do with silly people? Descend to their level with equally silly antics? That's all I see in this competition. And I'm waiting for others who care about SEO/SMO as I do, to stand up and tell everyone here to grow up. @Bill – I agree Dave/Kevin are in hot water. I agree they’re being very silly.

I think this time it’s even deeper than your blog post goes into as Did-it’s Kevin Lee is a director or something of SEMPO.

How does his business partner claiming SEO is nonsense reflect on them members of SEMPO themselves?

Additionally, Kevin Lee played the CANCER CARD to get others to link to Did-it and do their SEO job for them, which as a person with cancer, I find completely despicable and distasteful, and they get what they deserve.
