Ever wonder what a real blackhat SEO looks like? We hear about them. Some call themselves blackhat SEOs. But we rarely see true ones. ;-)
See the guy on the right with the beard? That is Ralph Tegtmeier, aka Fantomaster.
Lee Odden posted pictures of SES London, where Mike Grehan convinced Ralph Tegtmeier, aka Fantomaster to sit on a panel. Fantomaster is an historic icon in the SEO industry. More about him at this page.

Whoa. That's not at all what I pictured Fantomaster would look like. Can't believe they got him on a panel and that he let people take photos ;-)

Ralph is an interesting fellow to talk with. It was quite a contrast to see him wearing a suit. At dinner the night before he was very smart and charming as well.

Oh yes, I am sure Ralph is very smart and charming. I bet also incredibly professional.

He's a cool guy, although he wears something completely different at the blackhat events :)
