As All Hallows’ Eve approaches, I’ve put together a round up of the best Halloween costumers for SEOs.
White Hat
Hubble bubble, toil and trouble,
Build some links, watch traffic double.
Black Hat
“I’ve been a naughty Black Hat. I need to be penalised.”
Robot
“Nothing can stop me, nothing! Mwha ha ha!”
“(OK, except a strategically placed text file.)”
Spider
Itsy bitsy Spider, crawling my domain
Found duplicate content, all titles looked the same.
We got rid of the problems (I’ve got the devs to thank)
Now Itsy Bitsy Spider is going to help me rank.
Troll
Don’t feed the trolls!
But do buy them a beer – they’re hilarious after about three pints.
Spam
Canine minions: bow before your masked saviour – Spam Man!
Firefox
Firefox is offering you an add-on. Do you want to accept?
YouTube
OMG! It’s Party Guy! (I heard he never lasts more than 10 minutes.)

I knew I’d forget one! Duplicate Content:
I love how Awesome Party Guy only ranks himself 1-1/2 stars on his imaginary YouTube comments and then flames himself. He also gets 10 bonus points for the fake 1st comment:
“That vid made me LOL in my pants!!”
ROFL. Thats all. ROFL.
And how vid guy’s total video time is 06:66. Nice.
I really liked photos of the Black Hat and the spider!
Huahuahauhauhua…nice pics, Bob!
In 2004 I went as Yahoo!. My costume was a life size exclamation point “suit” made out of dense camping foam. I couldn’t sit down, but it was worth it.
In 2008 my SEO team and I went as “(search engine) traffic directors” with hard hats, yellow vests, robots.txt street signs and all.
Fun times!
Suddenly I’d like to get some duplicate content!
I lol’ed.
hahahahhaha great photos, black hat never looked so tempting
Pretty cool looking page/party! Some guys just know how to have a good time. I have never understood that most interesting man in the world commercial. This costume party looks more interesting than he is.
Nice! Im gonna go as a Facebook profile- thats after I go and watch SAW 6 though, I heard it was the best movie this month!
Duplicate content has quite the snarl to them.
Great topical post guys!
Regards,
Jon
A large part of me wishes I didn’t understand all of that perfectly
Nice ranking (#4) for ‘halloween costumes’ – quick monetize that traffic!!
I LOVE the Spam one. I’m stealing this picture for use when spammers strike on my forum!
Someone once came as a GameBoy to one of my Halloween parties.
Rob, Your post inspired me to create an SEO Halloween costumes post of my own (apologies in advance for calling your ideas boring).

This is fantastic! Great ideas! I think I’ll go as duplicate content this year, but I’ll be the more sinister variety where I’ll just copy someone else’s costume.
I love techy search humor!!!
If I’m the Google Sandbox this year, does that mean I can get out of going to any Halloween parties?
Splendid! I am very much smitten by the modesty of the Youtube guy!
Wonderful post dude. The YouTube costume hits right in the target this Halloween.
Does anyone know if SAW VI is out on DVD yet? I wanna go as one of the characters
These are so cute!
I think I know what I’m gona dress up as next Halloween: Google Bot! 
A really original kind of SEO humor!It’s about all the SEO should be done – with the smile and satisfaction!Great post!
All great images! the YouTube guy certainly get the award for most creative costume. Don’t think i’ve ever seen one like it!
All we need now is someone come up with a dress to act as twitter posts and the likes of Facebook etc.
Great post and great images!
Thanks
Duplicate content rofl – my favorite
great photos !
Gotta love the Spam one. I’m stealing this picture for use when spammers strike on my forum!
