How much do you REALLY know about SEO? If you’re like me you’re still learning but if you’re following the teachings of The 3 Wise Men of Internet Marketing your knowledge and understanding of this topic should be increasing at a fairly steady rate.
For giggles, let’s see how much you know. I’ve created a crossword puzzle that tests your understanding of key words or phrases associated with SEO. Take a few moments to solve it and drop by later in the week when I’ll publish the answers.
Here goes:
Across

Good Luck!
Wow, that’s creative. I know the answer to number 1.
Congratulations on winning the Bloggrrl contest. I’ve been craving cornbread ever since I saw that picture on the post. So I finally baked it today. I just thought you mind find this funny.
Emma: I was THIS CLOSE to choosing the cornbread because I honestly love it but a) I didn’t know how well it would fare with shipping it from Texas to North Carolins and b) I honestly couldn’t see myself eventually eating a whole case of black eyed peas! However, cornbread and black eyed peas are great comfort food, especially this time of year. I sort of pictured myself sitting in front of my fake gas fireplace wrapped up in a blanket eating food cooked by Bloggrrl. How cool would that have been! But alas, I probably could have only made it through a half can of the peas.
Glad you could visit!
Very creative and original as usual Chanya - hmmm I think I know a few of those answers…
a “fake gas fireplace”… blasphemy! Just finished tossing a few logs into my “real woodstove”. Lol.
Glad you liked the post. By the way, SEO Elite rocks! I’m just now getting around to using it and oh my, it’s really a powerful tool. I need to watch the videos but for now I’m content to simply stumble around testing different features.
That’s a nifty idea! I’ll have to give this a try. I’d do it now, but I’m not around a printer.
Dan: You should be able to solve it in no time.
Post a comment letting me know how you fare.
