SEO Christmas in GIF

Christmas is a magic time yet we sometimes have to face everyday problems even at best times of our lives. How can an SEO survive this day, cope with mad clients and still enjoy Christmas? We tried to imagine it in this post.

One day that is supposed to be your day off, you just want to sleep a bit longer...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you suddenly realize it's Christmas!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You're are imagining how you'll spend this day at your computer, have rest, drink beer and maybe even finish this article on Author Rank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When your wife says that you gotta buy soome food, Christmas tree and walk the dog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still you agree to walk the dog,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you get the tree,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and buy "just a couple of products" your wife forgot to buy yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally you can have some time for yourself and do some real SEO stuff!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You check your ranking and realize they dropped! Oh you, Google...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your SEO friend calls you and says he suspects it's an unknown algo update. Outside you're like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But inside...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you get a call on another line, it's your client and he thinks their site was penalized.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You promise to take care of it ASAP and are back to the conversation with your friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then your wife suddenly comes in and sees you're about to check your clients' Google Analytics.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She says your little son has other plans for this Xmas. Nope, they are not SEO-related.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You agree without hesitations. Amost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And when your kid is playing like a little Penguin...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do your best to understand what the heck is going on with traffic and rankings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then your parents arrive and your dad is mad at you because you still "do some strange things on the web" on holiday. You're like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time for the Christmas family photo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You silently ask your wife if you could finally find some quiet place and work a bit. She's like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You try to contradict, but it's not working

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The family sits at the table when your daughter says your client has just called and wants to talk to you immediately. You're like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You do your best to explain that you haven't found any problems, it just seems to be a seasonal drop, but it's not that easy...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like it's time you made a decision, and you decide to hang up the phone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your daughter is like...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Suddenly your mother says that she believes Hummingbird will be more a valuable addition to the Search rather than another pain for SEO. You're like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First you think that you're hearing things

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You ask your mom what that was.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then you realize the whole family decided to make fun of you because you were too concentrated on traffic, rankings, Google and SEO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally you give up, you're ready to enjoy Christmas spirit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just enjoy the time with your family and finally ready to say sincerely

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. In the meantime at your SEO friend's house...
