Re: What’s Worse a Manual Google Slap or an Algorithmic Slap?

Very true. I get tired of the schemes and all the B.S. that people pay good money for. If they spent it on paying people to write good content for them, it would be money well spent.

Thanks for your comment!

This will be a good step to make the field of SEO more
professional. Many webmasters misused the SEO to bring quick traffic to their
website. They don’t put any attention to the quality. Now I hope Webmasters
become aware about the quality to survive in the field.

Really? Or is it someone who is pretending to be them? I got a message through my contact form, asking me to check out their site, which I did and found a use for it. And for the record, the first email address you listed is real at least. as I've contacted Jeffrey there.

I've seen some of that coming across my desk, too. People are asking me, "What's going on?" And I hate to tell them, but their efforts were placed in the wrong direction.

Re: Article Marketing Is Dead as We Knew It

PatMarcello — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:38:26 -0000

Ruptured, you may be surprised, but I agree with you. It wasn't always that way, but now, there are so many disillusioned people or people who don't want to do the work it takes to make a business work -- who expect to be handed that enormous income while they sleep -- that Internet marketing (at least for the "make money") niche is singing its swan song and only the already strong will survive. And they won't be surviiving as big money earners as they once were, either.

As far as mega-corporations taking the small stuff over, I agree with you there, too. I think we've seen the golden age for the individual and as time passes, the Internet will become more and more corporate.

Sigh. Pity. I remember the "good old days." :)

the entire concept of online marketing doesn't work. just because an enormous company with multi million pound financing has an infrastructure that showcases the benefits, doesn't mean anyone cares about the small fish.

the average online consumer wants all their information in one centralized place without having to exert any effort or contribute in any way. thats the future.

and the small fish have no part in it. sorry folks but thats the way it is.

Re: Analytics “Not Provided” Data Hack

PatMarcello — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:38:16 -0000

Why thanks, RickRolled. You're totally correct.

I mention in a paragraph down or so that it shows you landing pages, but I screwed up in the first pp for sure, so thanks for pointing that out so I could correct the text. Much appreciated.

Yeah, I'm soooo not perfect. :)

Re: Analytics “Not Provided” Data Hack

Rickrolled — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:35:35 -0000

Um, you mention, in your first paragraph: "works to show you the keywords people are using."

The article you refer to DOES NOT DO this, it shows you the landing pages from the 'not provided' set.

Re: Why Anchor Text Matters More Than Ever Before

PatMarcello — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:20:03 -0000

Hi Gerald,

Very true. But, if you have a linking scheme going on in the background, where you buy 3,000 links for $5 on Fiverr, think about it. You have a whole passel of bad links, probably with identical anchor text. This is the kind of linking that can hurt you and the funny part is... You paid for it!

No - Email marketing is not dead. I have heard that a billion times before, though I know of many people who still manages to make a lot of their income and new customer because of their Email Marketing Campaigns. Great post - Thanks for the tips and views, I enjoyed the read.

It's kinda hard trying to start over again just because of crappy links pointing to your site. Google's Matt Cutts has been saying that they've made it hard for your competitors to hurt your site. If it was an easy task to do, a lot would have been on the top spot easily.

Hey there, Camron,

I'll let your link stick. :) And yes, Google+ isn't just for fun anymore. It's for SEO. Did you know they're going to start showing + stats in Analytics? That will be interesting.

Initially when Google Plus was launched, people keep saying that Facebook is far better than it. But now it is clear that Google Plus is much more than just a social networking place. For promoting your brand on internet and need huge traffic than Google Plus Page becomes necessary. It is needed for Search Engine Optimization.

Re: Customize Camtasia Code for Your Blog

PatMarcello — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:08:46 -0000

Hi Amit,

You have to change permissions for people to see your videos.

To change permissions, you right-click than, "Edit ACL." If you want people to see the vid, you check to let everyone "read."

But if you're just storing, and not streaming, you don't need to do a thing.

Hope that's more clear.
