I can’t believe I missed the contest period – will you make an exception and let me join?

I’m a chick who does SEO from California. I specialize in local search for small businesses. I’m a whiz on Google Maps and Facebook Fan Pages.

If you pick me I’ll do some exclusive video interviews for SEO Chicks at BlogWorld Expo in Vegas next month.

Any potential SEO Chick should obviously be ready for hiding out in pub toilets with us while we take pictures.

Lisa, sorry I called you a bimbo. Oh wait, were you not referring to me? Crap.

Ok I feel bad for my non – serious comment earler…

@Lisa

That’s pretty bad, it seems at some conferences that whoever talks the loudest gets the seat…

However, maybe it’s time to start a female led conference – an SEO Chick led conference (if everyone has time on top of work!) and get speakers with experience on the bench.

@romzkeepomski You can but we would prefer that you write an original blogpost that hasn’t been posted anywhere else before. Looking forward to read your entry

@Harriet Harman Thanks for pointing this out Much appreciated.

Just to clarify to anyone that hasn’t read SEO Chicks before, that we are not excluding men reading SEO Chicks (in fact most of our readers are men). But the bloggers are all made up out of women; the whole point of SEO Chicks is promoting women in SEO (as it’s still a big minority) and before any guys gets their boxers in a twist saying there is no need for this in the SEO industry as women are promoted and treated equally I say: “bullshit”. If you think that having only female bloggers is sexist how about:

- being referred to as a bimbo by a big search personality
- Being asked “yeah ok all the guys in this room wants to sleep with you BUT do you actually know anything about SEO”
- always getting the “social media” or “keyword research” panels at conferences even though technical SEO is my strength (and guys with less experience and knowledge gets on the technical panels instead)

how’s that for sexist?

Can I submit a blog post I’ve written before? It’s my own post anyway.

Thanks!

@ ‘Government’ ,

I think you will find that is most incorrect – I’m not sure which Minister you’re working for but I suspect you’re a Clarke-ite. I specifically passed new legislation earlier this year allowing positive discrimination for Women.

This legislation is especially relevant where there is a panel made up almost entirely of men…. oh sh@5…

Will this post be open in a year? I think by then I could legally be a woman…

The new logo sounds extremely eroti- I mean… No I did mean erotic. Good luck with the search, the only question surely is has anyone got he moxie to join the team?

@government: Yes that’s the EMPLOYMENT law, but we are not employing anyone. SEO-Chicks is not a profit organisation, bloggers do not get paid.

@Rishi; Yes Rishi we would love to partner with you ;p Now stop filling the comments with rubbish…

@Sam, well the guys at B2B Marketing still think you are a girl, Samantha Murray
