…now that I have crawled out from under my rock. Actually, I have been in Cincinnati visiting family since Thursday. My wife would not allow me to touch a computer. 

Inernet marketeeeers are known for being pranksters in many ways. Do a search for “failure” on Google and the first result (Whitehouse) will attest to this, as will Hatbait, and SEO Fangirl’s Men of SEO blog. That’s not to mention all of the fun SEO contests that go on throughout the year.

The most recent little game being played is a form of tag in which the person who is tagged has to reveal five things that the Internet marketing community - and his/her clients, ostensibly - didn’t know about them. The poor marketeeeer must then pass on the tag to someone else. I was tagged by the Expert of Online Marketing in Hawaii, Mr. Hawaii SEO himself. Keep messing with me Dave, and I’ll have to track down those pictures of you with Dreadlocks in Denver during the mid-90’s! Just kidding. You know we’re mates because you get the keyword stuffed title attribute and anchor text.

Five Things You Didn’t Know About Everett Sizemore

1. I never finished the ninth grade, and dropped out of high school at age 16 to become a DJ. But I went on to get academic scholarships and made the Dean’s list every semester while running a business and studying for my Bachelor of Journalism at Bond University in Australia. I also finished college a year early because I went year-round. Not bad for a high school dropout.
2. I was stabbed in the right arm by two of my ‘friends’ when I was 14 years old. it left a bad scar, which I covered with a tattoo when I was 16 years old. This would start a lifelong love of tattoos.
3. I’m a mamma’s boy. I was raised by a single mom who worked two jobs (one in a dilapidated factory) to support me and my two brothers. All of us are alive, have good jobs and have never been to prison. She is my hero. 
4. I used to work with Hawaii SEO at Kinko’s in Honolulu as a graphic designer.
5. My wife plays roller derby for the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. Yes, that’s my wife. Yes, I know she’s hot.

Really, I could go on and on and on. There are many layers on this onion. However, for the sake of keeping my clients, these are the only five you’ll get. Now, who do I pass it on to? Let me get out a stack of business cards and randomly pick…
