So another result of my time off and mentally going over my own motavations really allowed me to think about the personal aspect of this business, and what motivates a sale. I’ve often thought before that among the most effective skillsets for a marketer to have is blackhat seo and PPC. Not so much because [...]
Hey all. Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. Had to work through some personal issues before I could concentrate on work fully. During that time though, I had time to reflect a lot on my campaigns and to figure out some overall lessons I’ve learned for marketing in general. Many of these are PPC [...]
Ok, so yesterday I was chatting with IncrediBill (yes, the anti-scraping evangelist) and he sent me over a hacked site that someone had injected hidden links on (conveniently warning me that my virus scanner better be up to date AFTER he sent the links). Anyways, I viewed the source, and found what is quite possibly [...]
For those of you who have not heard, widgetbait is dead. At least in it’s previous, useful fashion. To summarize, JustSayHi got the smackdown for distributing widgets that contained a link back to their online dating site. The technique worked incredibly well, ranking them for tricky keywords like “online dating” or “free online dating”. And [...]
Ok. So I suspect I’m not the only blackhat SEO that monitors the search results for “buy viagra”. For the past few months, these results have been dominated by a variety of forum and web2.0 profiles that were link spammed into the rankings. However, for the past 10 days or so, Viagra.com has somehow managed [...]
Ok, so first off apologies to everyone trying to get ahold of me. I was quite sick for a few days, and lost power and internet for several days almost immediately after. And I’m going to the northern Michigan boonies this weekend(Tawas/Oscoda area), so I may not be around. But starting next week I will [...]
Alright. So today’s post is over at Search Engine People, and is on Blackhat Ethics, and essentially why I feel no remorse for Google. Should be an interesting discussion. Definitely look around while you’re there. And as always, if you haven’t yet check out the lovely advaliant promotion that’s running right now, you should do [...]
Alright. So I’ve talked a bit about link farms before, but to this day it’s still one of the most common topics I get asked about. Not just for blog farms and whatnot, but for legitimate, interlinking sites. So today we’re going to just handle a few common questions I get(not handled in the above [...]
Ok, so my consistent readers know I rarely if ever make a post to endorsing or promoting a product/contest. I can count on one hand the number of such posts I’ve done this for. Advaliant is one of the few companies I would do it for. They’re currently launching a new contest. A pretty damn [...]
I’ve already done a post on the future of blackhat seo specifically, but thought I’d put this into a more general stance. Apparently I have a thing for predictions this week. (Affiliate marketers, I know I’ve been neglecting you lately, I’ll make my next entry about that). Introduction Before I get criticized here, I’m going [...]
