One year in SEO

I’m two days away from making a full year working as a Search Engine Optimization specialist at Webvertise. Prior to that, I worked as an Internet marketer (a job which included SEO tasks) at Cratima. And making a full year of experience as SEO made me wonder, starting from a quote by Marius Deak:

If after one year on the Internet you’re an “Internet addict”, after two years “internet specialist”, 3 to 4 makes you “consultant”, six years is “internet guru”, what’s me after 15 years?

And I think he’s right: one year in an Internet field makes you an “Internet addict”. SEO is a new industry, and having one year of experience is a good thing.

Bottom line: one year in the Internet field makes up a few more years in other fields (so you can develop yourself better after one year in SEO than as more years in other fields).
