    Screw the FTC. They are trying to regulate what they do not know!

    Reminds me of a scene from an old western

    Sherriff: Im the new sheriff in town!

    Outlaw: There is no law here!

    Sherriff: No listen here boy. Handover your guns and go on with your business.

    Outlaw: Sure ..

    “Outlaw proceeds to shoot the sheriff”

    wild west

    I just don’t get how the government is going to try to regulate something they have no idea about. Or try to apply traditional rules to a non-traditional marketing method.

    At the end of the day, the government and Google are going to have to clearly define rules and regulations, but how can they do this without exposing their secret algorithm?

  • If You Build It They Will Not Come

    So I was talking to a neighbor of mine last night and he mentioned he was going to be creating a ecommerce website.

    Because Im such a nice guy I told him that I could look at the site to make sure it was SEO friendly.

    Then I asked him “How are you going to promote the website?”

    He replied “O yea promotion is everything. I will get the traffic.”

    I said “You going to do PPC, SEO, Media?”

    He said “Not sure, but you gotta spend money to make money.”

    I said “It can get expensive if you do not know what you are doing.”

    He said “Well this is more of a test project I am doing so we will see.”

    I was so shocked that my neighbor thought that if he just built a ecommerce website that then the traffic and money flows in. It just that easy.

    For the love of JeeeBusss its not that easy!

    Kevin Costner was full of shit! If you build it they will not come!

    listings, more quickly, and with better rankings

    Best of all, Cloaker is easy to install, totally
    configurable, and fun to play with. You can use
    it for all your sites, and it automatically keeps

    I wish I could meet the guy sending these emails out to unexpecting and unexperienced website owners so I could slap him around a bit.

    Maybe I should put a hit contract out form him like in Smokin Aces
