I'm learning about SEO right now and I must say...
 

it is SO FUCKING BORING!
cant keep my eyes open :sleep

Does it ever get exciting?

yea, wait till you nail a top spot on a high search term, it makes it all worth it

Yes, when you get to the cha-chingo phase

keep workin :thumbsup

I remember getting the 1st, 4th, and 6th spot when the paris hilton video broke, it was un-fucking-real man lol

I think its the book im reading now, its too thorough and gives too much information I dont need to know.
I just need to skip to the sections that tell you how to build your pages and fuck around with your sites until you get higher rankings

good concise read for on-page

that page is in the book im reading now :thumbsup

All people finish giving up and buying on ADWORDS...

SEO is impossible nowadays if you don't know the tricks..

there's no money in SEO

Sorry to say, it won't get much more exciting unless you're turned on by graph theory or some hardcore mathematics.

Be prepared to be bored for the next 2-3 years.. or turn in an application at your local McDonalds.

I don't know, watching SERP's rise and checks roll in can be fairly entertaining. :2 cents:

Where did you learn the TRICKS to optimize your sites and get a good position in google?

Or nailbiting... :)
