I never thought I would look on being called an old fart as something positive, but I suppose it is just a matter of who calls you an old fart, the manner in which they tell you, and where and to whom they say it.
In this particular case I am flattered, and seem to be in great company.
I am not the biggest fan of blogrolls on my own sites, I much prefer juice to flow via editorial links in content, and moderated links in both comments and trackbacks.
Fortunately I do link to the guys at Search Engine Land quite frequently when discussing industry events, and I will be enhancing my industry resource links in the near future.
Thanks Danny

I’m just a fan of being linked to.
If by old fart they mean “in it for the long ride” and likely to still be doing well next year then yeah…
guess you are an official old fart! keep up the good work andy!
Wonder what criteria they use to qualify if you’re and old fart or not. Pre Florida update?
If its true “what goes around comes around”, then you’re not old … just securing advanced positioning for web 3.0. The line starts behind me though!
Congratulations. I’d say thats pretty good company. Just don’t forget to put your teeth back in when you wake up in the morning.
as you said and old fart is good, as it shows you have authority, so enjoy the status
More tea Vicar? :D
Andy, if that means you know what you are talking about – rock on!
I would give my right arm to be on that list. I would be upset if you were announced an old fart without the seo.
There are some very intelligent seo pros on this list! Since I listen to their advice, does that make me a seo old fart groupie?
Kudos Andy. You run a great blog here and it’s good that you get some love in return for all that you do. Hopefully this will help grow your reach even further.
An “old fart” is just a way of saying “experienced and wise”.
Or maybe they think the parkinsons will be kicking in shortly and you’ll start wondering why your site has so many subscribers when you only started it yesterday.
Aww, come on Andy – start a blogroll. Stop being an old fart and get with the times.
The term “Old fart” is very British and is used normally under an affectionate mood to describe some one who one is fond of. Congratulations though I do not quite know you qualify for the first part “Old”
Hey Any, need some Wordpress tips. Do you have an old post on adding tags or a tag cloud to a Wordpress template? Wordpress’s online tips aren’t the easiest to follow.
Thanks……Marty
Really, a very nice list of SEOs, you’ll be the next
Kudos Andy. You run a great blog
Congratulations, you old fart! ;)
with age comes performance.
Its about time for these old farts to retire and let some young blood take over. Haha.
Ha! I noticed this earlier – I wonder what it is exactly that makes you an old fart when it comes to seo.
Shoemoney is an old fart as well eh? I guess all the hours you put towards SEO has really paid off and placed you among the best ever.
