SEO Quiz

Sing along...

"Don't know much about SEO...

Don't even know what I don't know..."

I can't think of more rhyming lines that have anything to do with search engine optimization or search engine marketing... hint : Think what's the difference between SEO and SEM... That's a question on the quiz...kinda sorta. You''ll be one question ahead of me if you go in knowing the answer.

Take the quiz. SEO Expert Quiz

It is a long test. Block out time.

How did you do?

"Test your SEO Expert knowledge to earn your knowledge level.

* 91% - 100% - SEO Deity
* 81% - 90% - SEO Master
* 71% - 80% - SEO Professional
* 61% - 70% - SEO Newbie
* 0% - 60% - SEO Novice"

I did not even get 50% right on the quiz! It says: "You scored 124/255 points"

Don't know much about history....trigonometry...

Thanks to Sellsius° Real Estate Blog for the heads up on the quiz - Whatya Know about SEO?

Sellsius ° said "We suggest you give your web developer the quiz before you hire him/her."

Do you know SEO?

thanks anonymous. My lazy brain just picked b on those. I agree there are some challenging questions just because of the wording.

Novice like me?

I know ZIP about SEO...I looked at a couple of the test questions and gave up! I'd be lucky to get 1 out of the 75 correct and that 1 would be a fluke guess!

Yes, a novice. I printed off my answers to study the correct answers for those I missed. It made me feel better because I got a lot of the "important" ones right. Some of the ones I missed, I'm going to do more study on.

Regarding those like which search engine is most used by Japan ... who cares.

Couldn't believe I missed the PageRank question. That was a trick!!!! Whodathunkit.

I am a novice and I did not score well,. I guess watching ESPN while taking the test didn't help.

Oct 06, 2007 10:51 PM

blame ESPN..... ;-)

Elaine I saved the answers too and have read and re read them. Some I get. Some I don't,

Oct 06, 2007 11:09 PM

Where did you see the answers to save them?

I dare not take the quiz. I know the score will be a lot higher than it would have been before I joined AR.

Oct 06, 2007 11:18 PM

Didn't it show you the correct responses at the end? I will email you the responses.

Gita there is some good info on AR about SEO isn't there?

Oct 06, 2007 11:40 PM

I just exited and didn't bother to look further. I think I wil re-take the test later on.

Oct 07, 2007 12:10 AM

then I'm not giving you the answers....

Oct 07, 2007 12:12 AM

LOL

Oct 07, 2007 12:21 AM

Jay, you've got a clue for the PageRank question from my comment above. Now, don't miss it!

WOW, shameful, haha. This was really fun though, thanks for the unique post. I passed it on to an SEO friend and sure enough he aced it, sigh. SEO Darklord, 92% He did say however that he learned something about the keywords being plural making a difference. He argues the keywords in the domains holding any weight though.

Oct 08, 2007 11:59 AM

I am glad you tested someone who knows this stuff Cecilia. I would argue the keywords in domains with him but I certainly don't have any authority to argue it.. I'd just say the quiz says so, "so there!"

I had read about the plural making a difference somewhere.

Maureen, thanks for this! And thanks for your honesty...lol..now I don't feel so bad that I only got a 102. LOL

Oct 22, 2007 03:55 PM

Karen thanks for your honesty. Most of us should not score very high on this. I think it pays to know a little bit so you don't get taken by web designers and gurus who don't know what they ought to know. Or by the real SEO scammers.

Oct 22, 2007 09:25 PM

Retest!!!! I'm still a novice but my score has gone up I got 52% right.
