What kind of SEO copywriter are you?

Increasingly, many SEO copywriters are choosing to sell their skills by way of a ridiculous job title: SEO King, SEO Champion, SEO Schwarzenegger.

Here, Manchester SEO takes the trend a little too literally.

The SEO Ninja

The SEO ninja is a master of stealth. His copy is silent, covertly infiltrating the reader's mind to convince and manipulate.

His SEO keywords skill is also strong. Key generics successfully blend into flowing sentences without detection; invisible to the naked eye. They become one with their literary environment and squeeze into the most awkward of spaces for maximum SEO weight.

The SEO Guru

The SEO guru is an enlightened soul. Far away from the distractions of modern life, the guru contemplates the deepest meanings of SEO. He is knowledgeable, wise and his understanding of meta data and long-tail keyword usage is infinite. High in his spiritual home, the guru studies the ancient scripture of philosophers and silently meditates on five year's worth of traffic data.

The SEO Chef

No matter what the ingredients, the SEO chef can put together an award-winning dish; a feast of keywords, anchor text and title tags for Google to gorge itself on.

But the SEO chef knows his audience. His content is mouth-watering, dripping with artistic prose and creativity. What's more, this SEO copywriter runs a tight kitchen. His dishes are always meticulously planned out before being served and his articles are never stolen from other recipe books.

The SEO Rockstar

The SEO rockstar puts on a show. Her SEO skills are recognised across the globe and she has established herself as a consummate entertainer. Her content brings in the crowds and attracts links from websites around the world. Furthermore, her lyrics are heart-felt, convincing and speak to the masses. Plus, she often puts keywords in song titles.

The SEO Wizard

The SEO wizard knows all about the dark arts. Be warned, he will pull thousands of links from his black hat.

While the SEO wizard practices his evil magic, his minions scour the internet spamming blogs with mindless comments with suspicious anchor text.

The SEO wizard is a corrupt soul; his evil vision knows no bounds. He will often enchant others with promises of page one rankings.
