Heaps of these during the week, but most are Faux Press Releases that are SEO firms trying to make their SEO all Latest Newsy sounding.

"Extra!  Extra!  SEO is defined as…" and so on.  It’s NOT News and shouldn’t be treated as such.  I click and read because I love surprises.  Sadly though, I rarely if ever get any.

Do you have Search Engine Optimisation to promote your business??

The only thing funnier than this one trying to pass itself off as relevant is that the ad below it was for "Chinese Ladies for Marriage".  Classic!

"Hmm, this article about how businesses use something called… SEO, to promote their businesses online is great… and hot damn, I’ve been looking to marry a Chinese Lady all these years and here’s an ad right THERE!"

See last article about SPAM and how I feel about it.  "Chinese Ladies for Marriage" is going to be my new "Spammers all carry used band-aids and dead mice in their pockets" catch-phrase.

Search Engine Optimization (Optimisation)

If you’re going to use blog posts to amp up your SEO efforts (like I am right NOW) then at least be honest about it (like I am RIGHT NOW).

Flash - SEO Optimisation

Nice.  Finally, short and sweet and relevant and useful.  I’ve read this blog for a while now, off and on, and JustSearch seems pretty legit to me.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in Internet Marketing

Despite the fact that abdulkaremsblog6933 is an old friend of mine from WAY back (we’re tight, so I’m allowed to call him "abdulsblog6933") I find that there is a proliferation lately of stolen content.  The only reason I click on sites like this is to grab some unique-sounding content, chuck it into Google, and see how many sites show up with it on there.

Mayhap I’m a touch sensitive after a former employer came onto a popular forum the other month with tales of the "Mission Statement" being used a competing firm’s site.  Since I helped write that copy, I became suitable defensive, and then found that sites from Michigan to Bangalore had all stolen this content.  Brutal.

‘Course, nowadays I’d probably be a bit flattered before I’d get angry about it.  Maybe I’m growing up after all.

Search Engine Marketing - Search Engine Optimization is Important

Despite the glowing obviousness of that statement, I did the same thing with this article.  Grabbed some, Googled it, and saw how many sites have it.  Not many, but still enough to make one wonder if it’s even worth facing duplicate content penalties (anymore, they just don’t index one of them).

Of course, one may wonder about duplicate content when I Googled parts of this article and still got 5 or 6 sites.  Does duplicate content even matter anymore?

Ah well, at least most of them credited the right guy with the article, even if he probably never okay’ed it’s usage.

The 10 instructions of Search Engine Optimization

My favourite part of this one is "Just getting high ranking is not the end of your make money journey".  I hate to come across like a snob, but the improper use of English cracks me the hell up.

Oh, and speaking of duplicate content, this article shows up roughly TWENTY TIMES in Google.

That seals it, I’m going out and getting some used band-aids and dead mice.  No more paying for sandwiches for me, no sir.

Grrrr, I just lost a half-hours typing when I inadvertently bumped the touchpad on the laptop and then hit the Backspace button to delete a typo.  Don’t do that.  It sucks.

And NO, I’m not writing it again, though I should because there was some awesomely witty and relevant writing in there.  Poo.

——————-

I’m off on my make money journey.  Have a good site.
