SEO Industry Should Thank Rhea Drysdale

This hard working girl put her own money into fighting someone who was seeking a trademark on the term “SEO”.

And to what benefit of her own, not much as I gather except a big $17,004 hole in her bank account.

That’s as good of a thank you as a slap in the face, I figure. I’m sure the exposure and links will probably re-pay her in effect, it’s really not much of a consolation to a fight that started in April 2008 that finally resolved March 11, 2010.

Thanks to Rhea, the industry doesn’t have to worry about someone suing them for using the term “SEO” to provide services, information or knowledge of any kind.

Don’t read my post about this anymore though as it’s not my thunder to steal. Go read Rhea’s post about SEO Trademark on her blog.

And if God has so blessed you with the ability to do so, maybe send her a donation (instructions @ bottom of her post) as a thank you to the fact that we do not have a 20-something kid governing our industry and the use of the term “SEO”.

That could have been ugly.
