American Express has a program called "Open" that provides services, advice and a sense of community to their small business customers.  You have probably seen it advertised on TV.  Now some jerk inside AMEX just sent a communication to all Open members stating,
"Don't Waste Money on a So-Called SEO Specialist"
Now clearly this dolt must have […]

I  have commeted on both the Positive Aspects of Real Rank along with the Negative Aspects of Real Rank.  If you read my negative post you will recall one of my issues was that for advertisers buying posts via PayPerPost/IZEA they specify RealRank in terms of 1-9.  Where a blogger with a real rank of […]

I recently wrote a very long article about how to protect yourself from Google, if you are a paid blogger.  The article is very long and covers everything I could think of in regard to building traffic and protecting the value of your blog.  For those that got nuked down to  PR0 (like Comtech did) […]

Originally I was going to do a video course on all of this showing how to do it step by step and sell it for say 19-29 dollars.  I still will if enough people commit in advance to buying it and I think it would help a lot of less technical people get it all […]

Since PayPerPost started I have been a huge fan.  They have up until now done everything right.  They kept everything above board with the Disclosure Policy Requirement.  They provided great control for advertisers (I have used them to advertise massively) where you could filter by geographic region, alexa traffic, google PR and many other criteria.  […]

Thanks to the new PayPerPost back hand attack that Google has handed out Comtech News has gone from a previous high Page Rank of 5 down to a zero.  Why?  Mostly because I have participated in PayPerPost and offered links on my blog with out using the nofollow condom that Google says I have to […]

There were plenty of people who trashed the Microsoft Zune back when it was released, which I mistakenly called a Homerun for Microsoft back in September of 2006.  I was planning on buying one but have since realized that the first generation player from Microsoft is lacking in many areas and choose to stick to […]

Long ago before I was a web marketer I was a salesmen and I really came into my own in that industry in the 90's working for a Network Cabling company called DataConnection. (I am in no way responsible for their website, )  During this time I did sales and design specification for a company […]

Wikipedia (who sucks, practices nofollow and considers all SEO's spammers and therefore does not get any links from me) defines a narc as "A narc is a person who notifies authorities of illicit activity, betraying someone in the process".  Now this is why I call anyone that would notify Google that they have found paid […]

I am about tired of this topic so before I just become totally fed up with it I had better say my piece on the whole mess.  To me the simple reality is this, there will never be a way to know 100% if links are purchased or traded for or natural.  No matter what […]

I was just reviewing a video about a new service called Socialstream which is a joint project between Google and Carnegie Mellon University and it is designed to take social networking to a new level.  Based on the ease of use and integrated viral network components I also think the real goal is to reach […]

Part of the joy of having been online since 1998 (at a time when FFL and Safe Lists worked) is you are so blasted with spam you usually get to be one of the first people to see new types of spam emerge, oh the privilege!  So just when you thought all the dirt bag […]

Today I was discussing things with Mark Barrera and we were talking about blocking IP addresses of clients on Google Analytics so visits to their own site would not count.  This is really simple to do with Google Analytics. In your Google Analytics account, you can enter up to 4 IP addresses to "block", doing […]

Since I first got into Internet Marketing in 1999 I have seen a lot of really talented people specifically from an SEO stand point leave one gaping massive hole in their marketing efforts.  This may sound almost silly but this massive hole is often….
No Sales Process
Crazy?  Yes but true none the less.  I have looked […]

Are you getting HDTV quality picture?
One of the most common mistakes (heck I made it at first too!) when buying an HDTV is not getting HDTV content.
Just because CBS shows CSI in HD doesn't mean you are getting High Definition.
It may look good on your TV because the quality is so much better than your […]
