Touring the conversations around various webmaster and business forums, it's pretty apparent that a lot of people think SEO=snake oil, and that it's mostly a big con.
While there are definitely a lot of bad apples in the cart - sharks will jump in wherever they can to make money - as someone whose business livelihood has depended on SEO success for the past few years, I find it an odd attitude.
This is especially when people start trying to understand SEO and talk about focusing only on content, and not really trying for links.
Does anyone here have any particularly negative ideas about SEO that they would like to share

No it's not a con... But really... after all is said and done... it can boil down to some fairly common sense things...

Anyone can be an SEO... If everyone could be a doctor... it wouldn't be long before everyone was calling the medical profession a bunch of cons...

Even still... what profession is not loaded with con artists?

Its true and happens with every field.Whats wrong in earning by being SEO. This is just another way to earn.
