Learning SEO from people you wouldn't take home to mom

I dread what keywords this article is going to bring my way, but, here goes…

While not my typical cup of tea (this is a family show, after all), SEOmoz has an outstanding guide to best practices for SEO from the porn industry. It’s (more or less) safe for work, and something that many small businesses could learn a lot from.

Porn is a funny business. As XMCP notes, it’s “a market that is frowned upon by 90% of the world, is legally not available to anyone under the age of 18”. But it still succeeds. Clearly, you could do worse than learn from these examples. And SEOmoz has provided a filter to teach the SEO practices without having to wade through the muck to get there.

I’m not endorsing the content of the sites evaluated (there are no links from SEOmoz). What you do in your own home is your business, as far as I’m concerned. But my definition of stupidity is being unwilling to learn from anyone. Even folks you wouldn’t bring home to mom. Check it out.
