It's used in this sentence: "This is why folks should consider paying more attention to the geekier side of life (we’re not wieners, we’re SOSGs). " Apparently, there's a baseball blog out there called Sons of Steve Garvey. Somehow, I doubt that's it. Interesting interview, but I just have to ask — what is an SOSG?

Great reference at the end there. This was a good interview too, I was not aware that the Gypsy was such an IM intellectual, so this was surprisingly refreshing. LOVE the part about LSI as BS!

About "SEO as an art": most people seem to believe (entirely erroneously), that "art" means "gut level is all you need". I.e. something like "it ain't REAL work" (on the perennial philistine's "money for nothing/get your checks for free" line.) Not so: mastering the "craft" part fundamentals, and only that, is what may (no guarantees) make "intuition" and "talent" prevail - not vice versa. In other words: do your homework, kids, in SEO as in anywhere else. Or else... As they say: "Poeta fit non nascitur." (A poet is made, not born.) Great interview, guys!
