Click Bots

Today, I had an inside lesson on click bots and learned how destructive its attacks are that it is scary. It can literally drain your advertising budget in minutes if you are not careful. The webmaster who had a hard time fighting off these bots found out it was from a provider of a feed.

How […]

The next wave of directories are the bid directories, innovated by KingoftheBill. Reprogrammed and sold to the masses at an affordable price at $24.95 by phpLinkBid. The current version can only handle alphabetical ordering, while the next release is slated and reprogrammed to the much requested categories instead of ABC ordering of listings.

How it works: […]

Directory Updated

Finally had a chance to update the web directory to a slightly more user friendly format. It looks very generic and easy to use. Simply navigate to the proper category and use the suggest link located on the left navigation column.

As always, the directory accepts instant approvals. Make sure to write good descriptions, minimum one […]

Tonight, the greatest living American gets penetrated without a link condom. The hope is to produce something of an offspring akin to the miserable failure, which was the previous bastard child of Google bombing.

Wikipedia wears a link condom proudly and penetrates safely when they link to reference sources or link whores who spam Wikipedia entries. However, some bloggers, webmasters and fellow SEOs misapply the link condom […]

Education of a Costco Cashier

Costco is a great place to buy stuff, and my family spends easily a few thousand dollars at their store locations. The point of the post is that an employee at the center was not properly trained to put her professionalism before emotions. I can understand if she was frustrated at scanning endless items without […]

Google Buys DoubleClick

Google acquires DoubleClick and all its advertising / marketing technologies. What I want to know is what will happen to the transparent advertising exchange business that DoubleClick had mentioned in the New York Times spread that instantly doubled their float value. Then prompting Google to buy them out for over three billion dollars.

What does owning […]

Last night at the Hotel Gansevoort Google party, I thought I saw Shoe Money. I imagine him to be bigger and taller in person but he wasn’t. At the time after having a couple of strong drinks, I could not remember the his last name as “money” and did not manage to say hi.
