Back from vacation…

by Michael on July 3, 2008

Back from spending a week in the woods fishing - instead of my normal weekend getaway at on of the great Atlantic City Hotels usually the Tropicana or Hilton Hotel Atlantic City.

So what did I come back to? A hacked joomla install on a clients site with an injection of about 500 adult related links which had made the site go from top 3 on over 50 terms to not being found in a matter of days. So I have been busy as crap revamping some content and building some new links in order to get it back where it was.

Ohh yeah and my buddy SEOHack did his 7 things I learned on the interweb post where he listed a new Sex Tape that is out. So of course I had to search for it and I am now scared for life & I only saw the first 15 seconds of it.

So thats really it.  I look forward to spending the long weekend with the family and all the stupid out of towners who will be throwing crap on my front lawn & making a general mess of the Jersey Shore.

Matt Cutts & USA Today 5 Tips

by Michael on June 26, 2008

Ok as much as I keep shit to myself but here is some SEO shit to keep up with my 20% useful information. This was the 5th shit that Mr. Cutts said in his 5 tips to get your websites on Google.

5. Register for free tools.

Google’s google.com/webmaster offers freebies to help get your site found. You can upload a text-based site map, which shows Google the pages of your site (create it at www.xml-sitemaps.com). Once that’s done, you’ll be registered with Google, where you can learn vital statistics — including who is linking to your site and how often Google “crawls” your site for updates.

Google’s Local Business center (google.com/local/add) is the place for business owners to submit a site so it shows up in local searches, with a map attached. Savvy consumers who use Google for searches know that the first 10 non-advertising results often are from Google Maps, so if you have a business and haven’t submitted it, you’re losing out on potential customers.

Now this was the only crap that stood out to me. Why? Cause I hear a lot of people saying “We don’t submit a sitemap to google.” or “Why do we want Google having our analytical information - so we don’t use Google Analytics.” Wake up fuckers. Personally I look at it like this; the more Google shit I can get onto my site or get my site involved with then i’m all about it. Why? Cause Google is the big dog & I would not put it past those fuckers that this shit could all count towards the organic ranking system. Lets face it MSN sucks & Yahoo is sucking more and more daily. So next time when you think you are ‘leet and not using every Google thing possible - think again - you could be screwing yourself or your clients.

If you disagree with me and you don’t have an email address that ends @google.com - then shut up and keep it moving.

Some people need a good drop kicking…

by Michael on June 25, 2008

Like, holy shit!  I am not gonna post anything about any SEO crap thats pissing me off - we are going to talk about something that I really hate lately. Interns.

Now not the Interns in our office - they don’t piss me off.  The ones that do are the flocks of them who are at Port Authority & my bus. They talk on their cellphones, leave shit on the bus seats & then rush to starbucks to overflow the line back into the street so I have to almost get run over on 8th Ave when all I wanna do is fricking cross the damn street and keep it moving.

I understand how cool it is to be an intern in NYC but don’t act like a douche. Just go to your company and look pretty - cause that is most likely the only reason you are there.

Ohh wait something is pissing me off in the SEO / SEM world.  The Twitter and people begging for sphinns/diggs on it. Just shut up and if your shit is tight and your article is good you are not going to need to beg and crap. Anyone that I follow that I see beg for diggs/sphinns/stumbles/bumps or any of that other crap your ass is getting unfollowed.

Here is a perfect example of that crap - http://tinyurl.com/2q9j9y

Yeah, get some.

Tim Nash Appreciation Day

by Michael on June 18, 2008

Now I am a hater & I will fully admit it & when I see people doing stupid shit I will be first to call it out. But I also can appreciate some smart motherfuckers in this industry. One of these such people that I have the privelage of bullshitting with daily is Tim Nash the UK SEO Pimp & let me tell you - He is one smart motherfucker.

I suck at coding - I know the basics - I can pick a site apart, move shit around, make an occasional MySql call & thats about it. Nothing fancy! So when I need some help I turn to my man Tim “Motherfucking” Nash - and he responds and comes through correct. Dude is in the UK, its like 12:30 am there on a Tuesday Night - he should be sleeping - but no, he is up helping my noob programmer ass out. So for this I gotta say a big thank you & declare that June 18th from now on is going to be known as “Tim ‘MotherFucking’ Nash Appreciation Day”!
