Ranking Exploit Discovered on TWO Major Search Engines

May 28th 2007 Posted to Announcements, Blackhat, Creative Marketing, General, Industry Bullshit, Niche Marketing, PPC, PPC Arbitrage, Pay Per Click Arbitrage, Promotion, SEO, Traffic

I’m blogging about this only because none of my friends are online now for me to vent it to. The only reason I came across it is because I had some really radical idea (like most of my weird and sometime shady ideas) to gain a link on certain pages on ********** and ********** (10 asterisks for both so you don’t sit there trying to figure out which engines it is). I haven’t tried it with Google yet, but seeing as it’s SO simple, with the other two, I’m not sure Google is able to do it. So I repeat, Google is NOT one of them.

How To Become The Next Web Celeb Blogger

May 21st 2007 Posted to Creative Marketing, General, Industry Bullshit, Personal, Promotion, Publisher Advice, Things That Piss Me Off

You know, I look around at other blogs, and instead of paying attention to a faulty or very conservative figures Feedburner counter, I typically guage how popular a blog is by the amount of consecutive comments they have on each blog post entry. There are so many big boy bloggers out there that are not really good at anything except talking and blogging (or maybe speaking through their typing if you want to call it that). The whole 90/10 rule also comes into play. There are MILLIONS of blogs out there, well over 100,000 of them in our industry alone (internet marketing). From all of those blogs, how many of them are actually read by more than just the author? Very few. 90% of them will never be seen or heard of for years, if ever, and then you have that 10% (but probably a lot less) that are visited all the time, and people hang on to every word that the blogger writes, however lame or ridiculous it may actually be.
