43 Of The Best SEO Jokes & Digital Marketing Jokes

Ryan Hill | 21st February 2017 Categories: Digital Marketing, Facebook, Google, SEO, Uncategorised

Working in SEO really can be an emotional rollercoaster. One minute you’re flying high because one of your clients just got another knowledge graph and the next you’re feeling low because someone’s rankings dropped and you’re going to have to figure out why. Although we think it’s really important to have a good time at work there’s one thing our team can agree on. We feel most other digital marketers will probably concur when we say that SEO and digital marketing is not synonymous with humour. At least, until now…

Funny SEO Videos | Funny SEO Memes | Funny SEO Jokes

UPDATE: This blog post is now Matt Cutts approved. Don’t believe us? The proof is in the Tweeting (Yes we do know how to use Photoshop and no, we haven’t used it to make this picture):

It turns out there’s a lot of SEO humour around, you’ve just got to know where to look for it (good thing we know a bit about Google, right?) So, we’ve collected some of the best SEO and digital marketing jokes around into one handy place. We’re not promising they’re all hilarious BUT if you’re in the business we can guarantee you’ll at least break a smile while scrolling through our finds.
Let’s be clear, we’re not pretending we’re the owners or creators of these pictures, memes, jokes and videos. We’ve just used our years of finely honed SEO skills to discover them so you don’t have to. So settle down and prepare to be at least mildly amused!

Funny SEO and Digital Marketing Videos

Ever feel like non-SEO’s have literally no idea what you actually do? Well, for the most part, you’re absolutely right.
Yeah, ‘normal people’ really have no idea at all.
But how can they when we’ve basically got our own language? (We used to love Pandas).
Google have put together some pretty funny videos about web user experience too. Thinking twice about implementing recommended products on your next ecommerce site now?
We all know that if you’re going to use internal site search it has to work properly, right?
This is possibly the most ludicrous of them all, but still pretty pertinent.
Finally, we don’t like taking a dig at other forms of marketing too often but this was too good not to share from Adobe.

SEO and Digital Marketing Joke Music Videos

In all honesty, when we started writing this SEO humour piece, we never imagined we’d have a category in this blog about SEO music videos but here we are. It turns out there are some pretty talented lyricists out there who also know a thing or two about SEO. Their production values may leave something to be desired but overall we can’t fault their talent. First off…
Who doesn’t love a good Jingle Bells rework?
Introducing Charles Lewis, the SEO Rapper, and his summary of Google’s algorithm updates!
And here he is with his son spitting bars about Google’s now defunct PageRank.

Don’t forget to bookmark these digital marketing joke videos for the next time you’re halfway through a disavow document and need something to break the painful, crushing monotony.

Funny SEO Memes and Pictures

You may be surprised to hear that there are more funny SEO memes out there than we could shake a stick at. We’ve chosen some of our favourites below.
If you’re an SEO but haven’t heard of (the now unfortunately inactive) SEO Ryan Gosling we suggest you hang up your white hat right now!

Liam Neeson hates manipulative linking techniques just as much as us.

(Source: Facebook)
Continuing with the Taken theme Matt Cutts used to hate dodgy links too. Plus, now he works at the Pentagon you can be damn sure he’ll find you.

(Source: Facebook)
Even Obama knows that blog comments don’t work anymore (so why do people insist on still building them?!)

(Source: Facebook)
The number one rule for checking rankings, use incognito!

(Source: Facebook)
An oldy but a goody. With map listings and ads now taking up more real estate than ever you’re lucky if anyone will find you towards the bottom of page one let alone page two.

(Source: Facebook)
This one’s very reminiscent of the 50 calls we get a day asking us if we need SEO even as a digital marketing agency. We don’t Lionel, but thanks for asking.

(Source: Facebook)
In all honesty, if you’re the person who paid for those links, this is far from funny…

(Source: Facebook)
Even Kanye and Jay Z know how silly this is.

(Source: Facebook)
Stay classy digital marketers.

Remember the heady days of 2015 when Matt Cutts appeared in a ‘public service announcement’ about great content? The internet does…

Here’s the video for added SEO lols:

marketing jokes

It’s well past time for marketers to get serious about comedy. The best way to connect with an audience is by authentically appealing to them on a human level. Adding humor to marketing is one of the most powerful ways to make that appeal.
Telling a joke does more than provide a moment’s diversion. When people share in a joke, it creates a sense of belonging. If you’ve ever sat around trading in-jokes with your friends, you know what I mean.
Humor can be a way to draw a circle around a group and pull them in—to say, “If you understand this joke, we’re in the same tribe. You get me and I get you.” That’s a powerful message to send to your potential customers. And it’s a good way to get the less relevant folks to opt out, too.
To underscore this point, I wrote 20 brand-new jokes that only marketers will get. If any of these jokes make you laugh, groan, or smirk, you’re in my tribe. Matching T-shirts are optional.
What I’m trying to say is, there’s nothing like a good joke.  And believe me, everything you’re about to read is nothing like a good joke.
20 Jokes that are Just for Marketers:
Q: Why couldn’t the marketer sell his baking equipment?
A: He had a leaky funnel.

Q: What’s a pirate’s favorite content format?
A: WebinARRR! Preferably one that’s B2Sea.

Q: Why can’t the marketer go see live musicals anymore?
A: He keeps trying to capture the leads.

Q: Why did the marketer get fired as a tap dancer?
A: She wanted to get paid per click.

Q: What kind of marketing does Dracula do?
A: a-COUNT based marketing!

Q: Why did the marketer fail at honey harvesting?
A: Instead of tapping the hive, he insisted on going B2B.

Q: Why did the woman dump her marketer boyfriend?
A: Lack of engagement.

Q: Why did the marketer burn his initials into a leather jacket?
A: He was working on his personal brand.

A: It’s called influenza marketing. It’s really going viral.

Q: Why is Joe Pulizzi great at binge-watching TV?
A: He’s enjoyed a lot of success focusing on one channel.

Did you hear about the marketer who imitates celebrities? He’s quite the bargain. He only charges per thousand impressions.

Q: Knock, knock!
A: Who’s there?
Q: A/B testing!
A: A/B testing, who?
Q: Would this joke be funnier if it were about screwing in a light bulb?

Humor brings people together. The corniest of puns can serve a valuable purpose if it tells your audience that you’re part of their tribe. If you enjoyed these jokes, I hope they inspire you to add more humor to your content.

How to Present Marketing Skills to Employers

Marketing takes many skills

When looking for a job in marketing you will need to demonstrate you have the right skill set even if you don't have the desired experience. Try to link your marketing skills to things you have done even if they have been outside of the workplace such as drumming up interest in a voluntary project online for instance.
The key skills marketing firms are looking for are:

• Interpersonal communication. Can you talk to people within all levels of an organisation and use multiple media to do so?
• Good writing ability. Ask yourself whether you understand the difference between effect and affect or if you know how to punctuate properly.
• Analytical knowledge. This means being able to interpret written, visual and verbal communications. It will also often involve the ability to number crunch.
• Creativity and expression. Can you think of a new way of doing things? If so it will also be important to be able to put new concepts over in a way that can be readily understood.
• Influencing and negotiation skills. Not everyone feels comfortable with the art of persuasion, but if you do offer examples of how you have negotiated in the past such as haggling successfully.
• Team playing. Marketing may be a creative industry but that does not mean you can go it alone. Therefore you will need to demonstrate your ability to knuckle down with colleagues.
• Computer skills. You don't need to be an IT professional to make it in marketing but a good working knowledge of word processors, spreadsheets and other commonly used apps is essential.
• Commercial nous. Without business acumen you won't get far in marketing so this is an important skill to bring to the fore.
• Ambition to succeed. Your drive will be a key ingredient to getting into marketing which is often a sales led environment. Don't make the error of thinking that ambition is not a skill.

Once you have established how your past work and life experience relate to these key skills, you should try to work them into your CV. Mention as many as possible in your personal statement and offer examples to back them up.
If you cannot fit them all in, use your work history to offer further illustrations of how you have brought your marketing skills to bear on the job.

http://c.jumia.io/?a=46140&c=475&p=r&E=kkYNyk2M4sk%3d&ckmrdr=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jumia.co.ke%2Fwomen-s-clothing%2F&utm_source=cake&utm_medium=affiliation&utm_campaign=46140&utm_term=Digital marketing moves very quickly, and as a modern marketer, you’re probably gaining new skills by the handful. But what marketing skills capture an employer’s eyes in 2015? What sets their hearts a-thumping? What makes them say, “We need to hire this one!”
Today we’re sharing 14 enticing marketing skills to add to your resume in 2015! (And if you're looking for a job now, check out our jobs page. We're hiring!)

1. Content Marketing

Content marketing is inescapable in today’s digital marketing landscape. It’s like what the Spice Girls was to the 90’s. Brands have realized that they need to be producing a steady stream of high-quality content in order to attract their audiences.

We’re in a pretty frightening content whirlwind; with many blogs pushing out several posts a day, there’s zero chance we will ever read most of what is published on the web. Still, you can capitalize on this mighty content race by marketing yourself as a content mastermind. (If you're in the B2B aka business-to-business world, check out our seriously comprehensive guide to B2B content marketing.)

2. CMS Experience

Since nearly all businesses publish content with the help of a Content Management System (CMS), noting some CMS experience on your resume is always a smart move, especially if you're applying for a content marketing job. WordPress and Drupal are two common examples of content management systems you may want to get you hands dirty with. Put this on your marketing skills list and you'll be sure to get noticed.

3. CRM Skills

Businesses are also looking for experts in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, which serves as an essential tool for virtually any company. CRM software is used to organize and manage customers’ various interactions with a company. CRM software helps bridge the gap between sales, marketing, and customer service. Popular CRM software includes Salesforce and Oracle.

4. Mobile Marketing

Mobile is on the rise and no one is powerful enough to stop it. If mobile marketing were Godzilla, we’d be pretty screwed right about now.
It’s estimated that 60% of mobile consumers use their mobile phone as their primary (or only) device for accessing the internet, and over half of e-commerce traffic is driven by mobile devices! Understanding the mobile marketing landscape will make you a hero in the eyes of employers, so be sure to show this off on your resume.

5. Lead Nurturing

As companies say sayonara to hard sales tactics and cold calls, they increasingly look to lead nurturing as a better sales solution. In the B2B world, most customer relationships today begin with content offers, then continue on with lead nurturing through the sales funnel. Lead nurturing is in super high demand, so employees with experience in this area should be sure to note it on their resume's marketing skills list and LinkedIn profiles.
Show that you understand the lead nurturing model and that you have some knowledge of how various types of content (from ebooks to webinars) can be crafted to serve specific audience needs.

6. Email Marketing

Email marketing isn’t new, but it’s still one of the most effective ways to market products and services. Newsletter signup boxes are commonplace on nearly all blogs, and brands are hungry for employees who can help them grow, retain, and delight email subscribers. They’re looking for employees who understand open rates, A/B testing, and email lead nurturing. If you can get practice with email marketing, wear these skills like badges of honor.

7. Mastery of a Full Marketing Arsenal of Tools

Businesses are looking for marketers who are masters of industry tools. You need to know which weapons will help you conquer any given space, making you as powerful as Robert Baratheon with his warhammer (give me a break, the new season is just a couple weeks away).

 

It’s hammertime! [Art by Alex Maxwell]

 Brush up on your marketing weapon arsenal with tools like:

• Social Media Marketing Tools. Tools that can help manage your various social media accounts and measure your effectiveness. Popular examples include HootSuite, Buffer, and Facebook/Twitter/Google/Pinterest built-in analytics. (Check out our mega-list of 99 online marketing tools here!)

• Productivity Tools.  A healthy knowledge of productivity tools shows that you’re motivated and skilled at time management. Popular tools include: Evernote, IFTTT, and Google Alerts. For more, check out our list of awesome productivity tools.

• SEO Tools. Resources to help you target relevant keywords and measure your link-building efforts. Some popular tools include Google Keyword Planner, Open Site Explorer, Ahrefs, and of course our own keyword tools.

• Image and Design Tools. Apps and software that can help you create blog images and valuable visual content to capture the attention of your audience. Popular tools include Canva, Piktochart, SlideShare, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.

• Email Tools. Programs that can help you manage email more effectively and measure open rates, clicks, and conversions for various email lists. One popular example would be MailChimp.

If you have experience with these tools (or tools that are similar), be sure to add it to your marketing skills resume. Employers want new hires who know how to use the tools they love.

8. Video Production

There has been a huge upsurge recently with video production. Brands are recognizing that video is a very engaging and compelling form of content that can be used to a company’s advantage.
Any experience in video production, editing, and even video animation is highly coveted. Best of all, you can brush up on some of these skills yourself if you’ve got a bit of spare time. Set up your own YouTube channel and get filming!

The key skills marketing firms are looking for are:

• Interpersonal communication. ...
• Good writing ability. ...
• Analytical knowledge. ...
• Creativity and expression. ...
• Influencing and negotiation skills. ...
• Team playing. ...
• Computer skills. ...
• Commercial nous.

The book, Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon, introduces the reader to a riveting tale of the way a family situation is dealt with in a very unusual manner. The setting of Indian people in the Northwest is used to help a troubled young girl who experiences the impact of her heritage on her life while unwittingly leading others to realize the value of listening to tales from the past.

William, Tom, and Myra are family members who take Sarah, a troubled teenager, on a previously planned camping trip into the wilderness of Olympic National Park in Northwest Washington State. The journey involves physical difficulties; they tell stories around the campfire; and, experience some startling events. Sarah turns out to be the one who benefits the most from the family adventures.

Sheldon brilliantly combines the story of a growing teenager with another story about ancient Indian travels and society. I like his descriptions of contemporary and ancient people with their beliefs and frustrations with cultures that are both familiar and unfamiliar. I like the Indian lore and wilderness travel stories. I like the way modern and ancient cultures successfully link together in the storyline. I appreciate the way the plot and subplots work together to produce a desire on the part of the reader to keep turning pages.

There is nothing about this book that I dislike. The writer does everything well and with excitement. The pace moves along at a walking speed since walking takes up a good amount of time in the story.

The perspective of the book includes insights from both young and old about the world in general and the wilderness in particular. The author honors Indian culture by allowing their mores to flow in and out of the character’s actions. The dialogue is crisp and relevant. The writer uses the structure of the story to allow the reader to think as well as participate. Subplots add to the color and tone of the tale. The maps at the beginning of the book help the reader appreciate distances involved in the story. Descriptions of mountains, streams and even storms are vivid and colorful.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend the book to young readers who wonder what it would be like for a teenager to go on a wilderness journey. I recommend the book to adult readers who will relate well to the way the writer treats grandparents, antagonists, and friends. More than a wilderness adventure, the book is good in bringing out the value of traditional knowledge in a world where scientific facts sometimes overshadow reality itself.
