SHUT-THE-FUCK-UP!!
It’s not just me who is sick of it. Even the Wikis aren’t safe.
I may be one of the few who wants him / her / it / them to shut up because they are going to give people too many ideas though. Shhhhhh
Some actual incoming search hits, as reported by my stats
“all people are stupid in their own way” - I agree, but what did you expect an SE to tell you?
“work as an assassin for the uk” - Even if the UK intelligence services maintain a group of expert assassins, I’m fairly sure they wouldn’t advertise any open positions on the WWW, E-government initiatives or not
“how to get teletubbies to swear” - What can I say? I mean, really, what can I say?
No, I did, really. I got an email telling me so, from a yahoo.com address. All they need to confirm my identity is :
1. Full name
2. Address / contact number
3. Country of origin
4. Occupation
5. Email
How easy is that?
… now you’re getting your ass kicked by the Wii
Best. YouTube. Evar
Quite amusing. I think it’s a US cultural reference. If anyone knows what the “original” is, please let me know.
No, not Matt Cutts home phone number. No, not a homepage link, with anchor text of choice, from yahoo.com. It’s a new virtual card game, SEO Trumps!
Fresh from the fevered hive of activity that is Gray Hat News, the SEO Trumps site allows you to create your own cards, build and print your own deck.
Astound your friends! Lampoon your enemies! Cheat when competing against non-BH savvy kids (”No, my littleman card DOES beat your Matt Cutts. I’m cloaking my SEO-fu score, it’s REALLY an 8. *ruffle* Look here’s the card viewed with a different user agent”)!
Whilst having a quick poke around at Todd’s place, I noticed that the “tagline” for his very impressive collection of social bookmarking buttons is “Share and Enjoy” - which, as any true Adams fan will know, is the company motto of the hugely successful Sirius Cybernetics Corporation Complaints division.
So, if you read this Todd, “Go stick your head in a pig!”
Via Threadwatch, I hear another stupid SEO lawsuit has arisen. Details are still a bit sparse, but the crucial item in the original post seems to be this :
The client sueing me is whining about work done 4 years ago
4 years ago?!? Good grief, you neglect a site for 4 years, and are surprised when it slips off its rankings? The client should be thankful for the last 4 years of free traffic…
Now, if there were a genuine conflict of interest, say an SEO taking 2 clients in the same exact industry simultaneously, you may be able to find a legal case in that. With 4 years separation between clients, we hit the point of absurdity - there can surely be no reasonable expectation that any professional (let alone one in a fast-moving environment like SEO) is going to hamstring themselves for all time by only ever working for a single client in a given field?
