People Hate Black Jelly Beans More Than SEO’s

Black Jelly Beans I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how much people hate SEO’s. I wasn’t sure if I was just keenly aware of this since I am one, or if a huge wave of hatred for SEO’s was sweeping the world. So I wanted to do a little experiment for myself. It turns out, that we SEO’s are less hated then we may believe we are.

I did an “I hate __” search in Google for 10 different commonly hated items to see where each ranked on a social ‘hate-o-meter.” Here are the results in order of most hated.

1. Snakes
27,600 Google search engine results

2. George Bush
19,800 Google search engine results

3. Hitler
16,300 Google search engine results

4. Lawyers
10,300 Google search engine results

5. Their ex-husband
5,230 Google search engine results

6. Osama Bin Laden
1,070 Google search engine results

7. Their ex-wife
666 Google search engine results

8. Black Jelly Beans
426 Google search engine results

9. Real Estate Agents
415 Google search engine results

10. SEO’s
6 Google search engine results

Pat, I personally love the black jelly beans too - and agree, I could do without the pink ones.

Alex, your comment got me thinking…. so I did a search for “I love black jelly beans” and “I Love my SEO.” I found 760 results for jelly beans and 5 for SEO’s… but in my “research” I also found this funny collection of “I Love My SEO” on CafePress - most likely, designed by an SEO
