Last week I have discovered a new and innovative way people will produce doorways for their black hat SEO techniques. It’s called Twitter and it’s some sort of a guestbook, where posting is available via number of widgets, including direct post from IM. Create a bunch of twitter pages (the only manual part of the process), link them properly (via short posts), post automatically via IM to all hundreds and thousands of them, collect fat checks at the post office/client site.
Easy money 🙂
In his latest entry Seth Godin writes on cheap media and cheap ads, and how they should be beneficial to advertisers. Well, we’ve got some news here and they aren’t pretty – cheap ads during cheap time are producing cheap results. The media/time slots are cheap for a reason and the reason is quite simple – audience isn’t buying into ads at that time. Superbowl commercials are featured on advertiser’s web site, posted on YouTube (and other video sharing sites and networks), discussed on multiple forums. Cheap time-slot ads are not. That’s why they are cheap. Out of all the people Seth could’ve known – the result is worth the money paid.
I received this message (sent from some galinagirll at tesrghft8077@inbox.ru)e-mail through the contact form on one of our sites. It’s hilarious:
