Well, the effective ones anyway, so says Lisa Barone @ Outspoken Media, living up to her company name with this post, for sure. Now obviously Google have to deal with spam on the kind of scale we could probably never imagine, but this is not about spam and black hat if Lisa is to be believed, this is more the public face of white(ish) hat SEOs, high profile “faces” Graywolf and the likes, like the FBI profiles criminals.

So if they are profiling SEOs they’re only going to bother profiling the good ones, aren’t they? The ones with the ability to place stuff high(er) in the charts, stuff that Google maybe don’t think should be there? So, this means that if Google aren’t profiling you, you’re no good?

..Cue linkbait idea (not ours unfortunately) from everfluxx.com comes..

Google “profiled” SEO badges!! of course..

Actually of course, the really good ones probably won’t be getting profiled at all, and will likely remain below the radar and just carry on doing their thing.

Doubt we’re anything like big enough to be being profiled,  but Google do read our blog from time to time so who knows..?
