One of my favorite bloggers is Michael Gray, (aka Graywolf) who is always willing to tell it like it is.  Well he has done it again pointing out a typical hypocritical action taken by Google and showing how sites like MSN and Forbes are given a "free pass" on the issue of duplicate content.

OK when Real Rank was first announced it coincided with the giant vicious Google PR smack down.  At that time I reviewed it and was pretty hard on it.  I have since discussed it directly with several People at PayPerPost and Izea and in fact I am even doing a bit of "fully disclosed evil" […]

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 […]

I was recently asked to do a review of PeekYou and compare it to another People Seach Engine called Spock.com.  I decided to try two names in each to get an idea which had more features and overall was just more useful.  Having a bit of an ego I choose first myself and the second […]
