OK so do we really need yet another social bookmarking online community (aka a Digg Clone)? At Franklin Spirko we decided that yes indeed we do and hence the launch of HatedOrLoved.com
The reasoning was simple, there are so many sites like Digg, Mixx, etc that utilize a community approach to share news, stories and just […]

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" […]

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 […]

When we began the creation of Marketing ICE back in January we put a lot of the free videos on YouTube.  Initially this was to save bandwidth by only providing hosted videos to paying members and letting YouTube fit the bill for the free members.  The issue was that the YouTube videos were small and […]

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 […]

Ok this may seem a bit odd given I just said Donald Trump's Blog sucked a few days ago.  The reality though was my post was never a slam on Trump or even his blog.  It was simply to help my readers understand what is an emerging trend in blogging - large companies jumping into […]

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 […]

As a blogger with a technology blog I get a lot of opportunities to review web design firms.  I honestly turn most down because it does not really excite me very much.  Design is design right and lots of companies and individuals are good at it.  Yet a few firms are truly adapting to the […]
