SEO is fun for me. Especially because I write lots of code so seeing how something like Yoast works behind the scenes gives me an advantage. And it is a skill people will pay for, will getting good at it increase my chances of working in Silicon Valley?
The bigger question is can you pay a Google employee sneak you into the top 10 searxh results and bypass SEO. π
Wouldn't even wanna do it that way.
Why the fuck would you want to work in this shithole?
I view it like Galts Gulch.
About as much respect as other marketing roles.
What is Yoast?
It's a wordpress plugin that scores your content for SEO points as you type. It's the number one plugin for SEO on Wordpress.
