  • Fitting pic of google and their stock price as of closing on Monday.
  • google has a digg like clone in the experimental stage. Users vote on pages similar to how digg works. Apparently this will only affect personalized search. We know how much google thrives off of data, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if this data works its way into the algo’s in some form or fashion down the road.
  • This jack face gives a bad name to all the seo’s in the world
  • google is STILL selling links on this page, buy a google mini, get a link. WTF is the difference in this and buying real estate on a page, on a site, that is absolutely RELEVANT, to your site?! Hypocrits, I assumed they would have nofollowed those links by now. Especially after all the hoopla lately.
  • What kind of pay do top notch SEOS get in this industry? Check out what it costs to get T Malicoat, Aaron Wall and Scott Smith on your side.

That just sucks, they drop the pagerank of people that sell links but then they may sell links? Just doesnt make sense.

@esvl It’s not as clear cut as that. Basically the PR drop you saw is a reshuffling of PR distribution on a whole and isn’t really correlated to selling links.

A ton of sites dropped in PR, and a lot of them did not sell links.

The old PR 5 for instance in most cases is now a 4, 3 is now 2, 2 is now 1 etc etc.

Dude, I can so get any article in the top 10 on Google within 48 hours! Just send me $100 via Western Union and I’ll give you my secrets :P

Seriously, how did you find that guy? He is indeed a jack face!

Money has been sent Jon. If you could work on this term for me “Buy Viagra”, thanks.

Found that off of rae’s late night twitter session. :)

Done! Your studmed site is now ranked #1. Damn I’m good.

Brian Chappell December 10, 2007 at 10:29 pm

Fantastic.

On a side note: I heard that term is worth over 10k/day if you are at the #1 organic rank. Great place to keep up to date with spam techniques, not that I would EVER do that!
