Proof positive that there are indeed women among the most successful search marketers in the industry. Perhaps they're just too busy working with a growing clientele to toot their own horns.

LOL

I couldn't let of the stupid remarks about SEO women go unchallenged.

Funny to see women honking in Twitter. Sad to see no men honked though.  Does no one have a sense of humor anymore?  I swear to god, if I have to put on  my cheerleading outfit, or maybe the French Maid uniform, just to get a honk from the males......

Great post Kim. Know that there are some men in the industry who have a lot of respect for SEO women. I noticed some of the same comments you pointed out and felt like I'd stepped back in time. You hope people would be long past certain attitides, but sadly some aren't.

Yeah. I'm happy to say that nearly every SEO man I know loves and adores SEO women.

However, for the small percentage of Archie Bunker sexist newcomers who have no freaking idea how to get past their own rah rah, I thought the penis enlargement lead-in was a stroke of genius. One needs to talk to their level and all.

I was also amazed that Danny Sullivan had to defend his speaker situation (again). Danny values and respects skills, hard work and talent. Period. Ask Tamar about her first speaking gig sometime. It was Danny that got her up there.

I love women that shoot pool, but SEO women have my respect.

I think there are just fewer women than men in SEO. The women the SEO industry is graced with are just as sharp as the men.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Sexism doesn't really fit into the subjects covered by Sphinn, which are web design, marketing, usability, search engines and social media.

In the Sphinn world whether a poster is female shouldn't make a difference any more than if they are young, old, nude, green, blue, from Down Under, or from any other place on our planet.

I am all for better spam protection on Sphinn since many of the new topics appear to be way, way, way off.

I added an article to my post - hat tip credit to Danny Sullivan

Lots of interesting food for thought on women, tech, etc. in it.

"What's even more exciting to me is the base of newly empowered and scrappy women working their way up at the startup level. You've never heard of scores of them, but these women you have: Tina Sharkey at Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ) BabyCenter; Caterina Fake, who co-founded Flickr and sold it to Yahoo! (YHOO); Mena Trott, co-founder and president of blogging powerhouse Six Apart; and Gina Bianchini, CEO of Ning, which lets users build their own social networks. And no, Google's no longer a startup, but there's good reason to keep an eye on Marissa Mayer, the company's vice-president for search products and user experience."

crashingflwrgrl  LOL  I seek balance is all.  It's not about "women power" at all (like one commenter wrote).

It's about recognizing that men and women can't be categorized and lumped into piles of traits.  Whenever I see an ego manic remark from a man such as "Their time will come..." I cringe at that lack of awareness of the world around them and obvious lack of knowledge on the history of the SEO industry.

Why is this being turned into a sexist or presumed to be a sexist industry? If you are good you are GOOD! doesnt matter if you are a woman or a man! HONK to you ladies either way but really don't see the point of this?

HONK HONK!

HONK all the way for the SEO/Social Media Women!

I'm just wondering if there are more women into the SEO friendly web development and usability game, but are just maintaining a low profile!
