Sullivan Slaps Calacanis On SEO Criticism

Calling 90 percent of the SEO industry "snake oil salesmen" riled up one famed search professional; Danny Sullivan has hit back hard at Jason Calacanis for his continued attacks on SEO. There's enough bad feeling in the world without adding to it with some uninformed commentary. The SEO industry wasn't happy the first time Jason suggested the industry was bull, and they aren't happy post at Pronet Advertising. Despite Muhammad Saleem noting the video as an example of why Digg and other social sites dislike SEO, Jason took it the next step:

The SEO folks got really pissed off at me for saying "SEO is bulls@#t." last year, but the truth is that 90% of the SEO market is made up of snake oil salesman. These are guys in really bad suits trying to get really naive people to sign long-term contracts. These clients typically make horrible products and don't deserve traffic--that's why they're not getting it organically so they hire the slimebuckets to game the system for them.
