Someone is trying to trademark the term “SEO”!
“He has passed preliminary review and is now in a waiting period set aside for anybody to register their objections with the Trademark Office.”
If this happens, what would we call ourselves?
Nick, of Essence SEO thinks it should we should call ourselves “Discovery Portal Tuners” 
What would you call us?

A friend & co-worker of mine and I have an on going joke going about SEO not being the proper name for what we do anyways.
We don’t optimize search engines… we do website optimization for search engines therefore should call ourselves, “W.O.S.E.”.
Just a thought and mostly for fun. I’d much rather stick with Internet Marketer for my title. Covers a large array of skills.
