We make great content and tools for companies and they happen to be excellent at SEO.
I love SEO and Aaron is just going insane because he thinks I am a better SEO than he is.
Now, I don't think I'm better at SEO than Aaron.. in fact, most of what I've learned is from reading his blog and GREY Wolf's!
So, I don't understand why he is so full of venom for me when I always give him credit as a great inspiration for me!
When you back out the VC influx of cash I am not so sure. :D
I think you are great at public relations, but I didn't have to flame people or take funding to build huge traffic streams.
I started out with lots of debt, no revenues, and a credit card and grew from there. And I only have ~ 6.5 years online...imagine my public relations Qi I will develop by the time I am a ripe old man like yourself :D
I mean...you're like 40!!!
If you think that Engadget, TechCrunch50, Open Angel Forum, This Week in Startups, Joystiq, Autoblog, Mahalo and my other projects are so flawed, well, make better ones!
Also, I would seriously consider building something of lasting value beyond just SEO. You're clearly very capable and you clearly have the OCD of a potentially great entrepreneur.... point it at a big problem.
