There are some very legitimate SEO (search engine optimization) experts out there, and legitimate websites with great information. However, there are also quite a few sleazy SEO "experts" with some really annoying pages.
One of my pet peeves is finding a website that looks like a sleazy piece of junk mail, complete with simulated yellow highlighter and underlined words. They're usually designed to try and sell a self-published e-book that will supposedly give you all the secrets to "making millions from Google."
Have you been hit by a spammer? Do they send you junk mail or leave spam in your blog comments? What's Your Pet Peeve?
Glitter and Blink
- I hate giant fonts, blinding graphics, blinking icons, automated sound, 12 year old mentality graphics and the inability to leave causing me to log off to my desk top to get out.

Twitter Spammers
- The SEO spammers on Twitter are getting bad lately. The ones who send an auto-DM when you follow them, along with links to their websites and Facebook fan pages are annoying enough. Now there are those who pick up on specific words or phrases in your tweets, follow you automatically, and seal the deal with an auto-DM. And the sad thing is that many of these people have "social media/SEO guru" in their profile descriptions!
