What Do You Think Of When You Hear SEO - Twitter Poll

Thought I would ask 5,300 people what is the first thing that pops into their head when they hear the word SEO. Here was their responses ;) Would you like to see more of these types of polls? I wrote a script to generate them based on the API so its pretty easy for me to do.
