Are you a slimy salesman if you do SEO?

Posted on January 22nd, 2008 as Seo, Sites

Slimy salesmanAre you a SEO Expert? If you are that makes you a slimy car salesman according to Shoemoney.

Last week Shoemoney posted an article Why I do not like 95% of SEO Experts. He states “SEO’s are like the 21st century car salesmen. Most are slimy and have no clue what they are talking about.” Since his article has come out there have been numerous articles stating that is not true and that Shoemoney is wrong.

What is so funny about this situation is Shoemoney decided 2 days after his post is to hold a debate on his radio show Webmaster radio. I find it ironic how he takes a topic that is discussed a lot and bad mouths it to get peoples attention and then uses it to market his radio show which is subscription based service.

So Shoemoney who is the slimy salesman now? It sounds like Shoemoney is trying to sell us a subscription to his radio show so people can discuss the validity of SEO.

What are your thoughts on the comments made by Shoemoney?

Update: Shoemoney is offering the recording of the show for free to listen in case you missed the show here

How do you use social networks?

Posted on January 18th, 2008 as Technology

Web 2.0 City
I was in a restaurant the other night and ran into an old from high school. What was funny was my friend mentioned we should stay in contact and he gave me his MySpace address. Instead of giving me his number is was just easier to give me his MySpace address. It just made me pause and think how social networks have become part of daily life. I heard a forecast that was made at CES that 1.2 billion people will be using social networks by 2012 Read the rest of this entry »
