Paul Cookson
Seo je tužan, osećao da u njegovom srcu nešto umire, da je prazan, da pred sobom više nema nikakve radosti, nikakav cilj. Sedeo je utonuvši u misli i čekao. Naučio je na reci jedno: da čeka, da bude strpljiv i da osluškuje.

When he gently tipped his forehead onto mine, I grew still. This close, I saw every detail of his face. The bow of his lips, cut as if with the tip of a knife. The eclipses of his eyes. “Let the aether bear witness,” he said. “I will never keep from you what you should know.” I closed my eyes. “I will never conspire against you, nor betray you by word or thought or deed. I will never, by choice, abandon you to your enemies, nor forsake you in adversity.” The cord shivered. I could feel the heat of fever in my breath, caught in the space between us. “In body and spirit, I am bound to this oath.” He clasped my hand to his chest. “Seo í mo mhóid shollúinte.

At its most basic level semantic search applies meaning to the connections between the different data nodes of the Web in ways that allow a clearer understanding of them than we have ever had to date.
David Amerland (Google Semantic Search: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Techniques That Get Your Company More Traffic)
Most sites need to prevent breadth — many many pages that are organized cohesively. A site that presents a single webpage is unlikely to present sufficient depth of content to justify extensive SEO.” The SCO trick is to draw traffic with desirable content, and to ’seduce’ the traffic into portions of the site that may not directly have anything to do with the content — this is the ultimate goal of the SEO campaign.
Harold Davis
The success of every websites now depends on search engine optimisation and digital marketing strategy. If you are on first page of all major search engines then you are ahead among your competitors in terms of online sales.

Search is the means through which we navigate the Web. If your business is not visible in search it is difficult for it to be found by your customers. Search, above all else, is marketing, and it is undergoing a massive change.

Juliette spun around, putting her hands on her hips. She glared at him for a long moment, but then she couldn’t help it. The smile slipped out. “Ah!” Marshall shrieked. Before Juliette could shush him, he was already lunging at her, picking her lithe frame off the ground and spinning her around until her head was dizzy. “She shows emotion!” “Cease immediately!” Juliette screeched. “My hair!” Marshall set her down with a steady thump. He held on to her even once she was on her own feet again, his arms splayed along her shoulders. Poor, touch-starved Marshall Seo. Maybe Juliette could find him a stray cat.

40. Be Defiant In our opinion, most search engine optimization (SEO) is bullshit. It involves trying to read Google’s mind and then gaming the system to make Google find crap. There are three thousand computer science PhDs at Google trying to make each search relevant, and then there’s you trying to fool them. Who’s going to win? Tricking Google is futile. Instead, you should let Google do what it does best: find great content. So defy all the SEO witchcraft out there and focus on creating, curating, and sharing great content. This is what’s called SMO: social-media optimization.

Our anthologies still include holograms of jewel-like eyes, porcelain skin, ruby lips, hair like gold, and so on.

Thing is you learn a lot in the city; you learn that drugs can hide the worst hurts and exchanging wrong parts for right is only a matter or film or cred. So that's what little Min-seo did.

The idea of reputation, influence, and influencers in the offline world is as old as the hills. It's not new on the web either, but semantic search is creating a portable sense of identity, reputation, and influence that in the days before it simply did not exist. And this is changing everything

Language spoken by parents to each other: fluent Korean. I grew up hearing marriage as a foreign language—literally and figuratively. I grew up hearing the sound of Korean as a language of Korean-bound han syndrome, disappointment, fury, resignation, the sense of being trapped forever, resentment, guilt. Every other word: a door slammed.
Seo-Young Chu (The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2018)
The connectivity of the cloud and the prevalence of tablets and smartphones have eroded the traditional online/offline divide. Within a short time we will most probably stop thinking of it as 'online.' We will simply be connected, all the time, everywhere, and the online world will be notable only by its absence when that connection breaks.
David Amerland (Google Semantic Search: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Techniques That Get Your Company More Traffic)
In truth search can no more be considered independent of the Web than the Web can work without search. This symbiotic relationship brings forth all sorts of issues because it becomes part of a traditional push and pull where the Web, represented by those who actively work in it, wants to push all the wrong things, while search wants to pull in everything.

Alerton je mogao satima da sedi, ne radeći apsolutno ništa. Li je seo i pokušao da probudi Alertonovo interesovanje, ali je bio isuviše pijan da bi to što je govorio imalo smisla. Njegov pokušaj da vodi opušten, duhovit razgovor bio je bolan za gledanje. Ušao je u jedan kineski restoran, seo u separe i naručio koka-kolu. Dok je tu, ničim neometan sedeo, bol mu se proširio po čitavom telu. „Šta se dogodilo?” upitao se. Onda je naterao sebe da razmotri činjenice. Alerton nije bio dovoljno queer da bi omogućio opstanak recipročne veze. Lijeva naklonost ga je iritirala. Kao i veliki broj ljudi koji nemaju ništa da rade, mrzeo je bilo čiji pokušaj polaganja prava na njegovo vreme. Nije imao bliskih prijatelja. Nije voleo čvrste dogovore. Nije voleo da bilo ko očekuje bilo šta od njega. Li je otkrio da može da se našteluje na Alertonov način razmišljanja, iako mu taj proces nanosi bol, jer obuhvata i sagledavanje razmera Alertonove ravnodušnosti.

When I started my marketing company, I fell into the same trap most entrepreneurs do in the early stages of their business. Desperate for sales I created page after page on my website, offering everything and anything from logo design and email marketing to Google AdWords and SEO. It was only when I stripped all of this noise away and focused almost exclusively on Google AdWords and PPC marketing that things started to happen for me. It was easier to rank my website on Google because the whole website was optimised around specific niche keywords. It was easier to close customers, because they wanted professional PPC services and I could demonstrate with little effort that I was a PPC specialist. In most cases I didn't even need to demonstrate this point because 5 seconds spent on my website would tell the client that my whole business was Google AdWords PPC. By making it look like the only thing I specialised in was PPC consultancy, I cornered the market in every channel my services were advertised.   But

Adolf Basler bio je jedan od onih pariskih trgovaca koje tamo zovu “trgovci kod kuće”, jer trguju slikama a nemaju galeriju. Bio je ludo zaljubljen u Derena. Jednog zimskog popodneva, dok sam sedeo na terasi “Café des deux Magots”, a to je izvikana kafana intelektualaca sa leve obale, prisustvovao sam neobičnom i zabavnom prizoru : odnekuda je, sam, kao po običaju, naišao Deren i seo za sto na spoljnoj terasi. Zimsku terasu zagrevale su jake grejalice, a sa strane štitili veliki stakleni paravani. Čim je seo, Deren je naručio demi, kriglu piva, zatim je od arapskog prodavca u prolazu kupio grickalice koje zovu cacahuetes (kikiriki) i njima napunio džepove. Dok je natenane grickao kikiriki i pijuckao pivo, sedeo je nepomično, uopšte se nije osvrtao, a na licu je imao izraz čoveka koji se iz dna duše gadi svakoga i svačega. Slonovskim okom zurio je preko puta u portal crkve Saint Germain des Pres. Utom, kao da su ga vile donele ili po tajanstvenom pozivu, na vidiku se pojavio Adolf Basler. Pošto je izdaleka prepoznao Derena, prišao je i počeo da šetka, topeći se od miline gledao je slikara užagrenim očima, a rukama i glavom upućivao mu diskretne pozdrave. Ukrućen, nepomičan i ravnodušan, Deren je nastavio da gleda u portal crkve. Pošto su svi stolovi oko Derena bili zauzeti, Basleru je preostalo da šetkajući pričeka. Međutim, levo od Derena, gosti su ustali i oslobodili jedan sto. Basler je kao bez duše jurnuo da ga zauzme. Ali pre nego što će sesti, sa uvažavanjem je upitao Derena da li je slobodno, kao da on sedi za oba stola. Pošto slikar nije ni beknuo, Basler je bojažljivo krajičkom zadnjice seo na ivicu stolice. Onda je započela još jedna ujudurma : Basler je pokušao da se upusti u razgovor sa Derenom. “Bonjour, monsieur Derain, vous allez bien ?” (“Dobar dan, gospodine Deren, kako ste?”) Onaj ćuti kao zaliven. “Da li sada mnogo radite, gospodine Deren ?” A onaj drugi ni da obeli zuba ! Tada Basler, na vrhuncu ljubavnog ushićenja,pruža drhtavu ruku i vrhom prsta dotiče Derenovo rame. Kako se usuđuješ ! Snažno brundanje, čak nešto poput rike razjarenog slona i ne manje snažno otresanje Derenovog ramena koga je dotakla ruka sirotog Baslera, bili su jedini odgovor na onaj bojažljivi pokušaj nežnosti. Basler je odmah povukao ruku kao da se opario, a onda je, onako poražen i očajan, odustao od sveg, tužno izvukao iz džepa primerak – više se ne sećam čega – Gringoire ili Les nouvelles litteraires i zaronio u čitanje jedne od onih beskonačnih uspavanki kojima obiluju pariski književni nedeljnici.
