Danny Sullivan Lets Rip Over "SEO = Spam" Debate- August 28, 2007 I've always wondered how Danny manages to stay so cool and mild mannered under pressure and provocation. Sometimes you just know he wants to let rip. That's why I was pleased to read this: "Want to be like Robert -- and Jason Calacanis -- and keep equating SEO with spam Then fuck off". Yay!http://www.searchengineblog.com/2007/08/danny-sullivan-lets-rip-over-seo-spam_28.html Skrenta Roasts Mahalo- August 21, 2007 Rich Skrenta has a few things to say about Mahalo, including this gem:"at first glance making this spruce goose fly looks like it would need David Copperfield plus a reduction in the universe's gravitational constant."Now, contrary to what many SEOs think, I'm of the opinion Mahalo will make money. I'm guessing it isn't going to be the huge thing Calacanis thinks it will be, but then again, Ihttp://www.searchengineblog.com/2007/08/skrenta-roasts-mahalo_21.html What If A Business Meeting Was Like Digg- August 20, 2007 This 'aint safe for work. Very amusing. Especially love the drive by spammer getting their just deserts.http://www.searchengineblog.com/2007/08/what-if-business-meeting-was-like-digg.html A Blog To Watch- August 17, 2007 Bob Massa has started blogging. Great! Bob is an insightful commentator on the search space, and is usually way, way ahead of the crowd. "It is not about reciprocal links or how many is too many. It is about making more money from less visitors with less expense and more profit". I've also added a post on my new site, Linkjuicy.com: Is It Possible To Get Listed In Dmoz These Days "Unlesshttp://www.searchengineblog.com/2007/08/blog-to-watch.html Part Two: Advanced Linking With Fantomaster- August 16, 2007 I've put part two of my interview with Ralph up on LinkJuicy.com. I think he's going to make some people reflect on some long-held held beliefs about PR, in particular. Part one is here.

It seems you need to go door to door to extract information. That's what Google are doing. Well, they're paying people to do so. They've launched a program called Google Local Business Referrals. "(Google) paying independent contractors, called business referral representatives, to visit local businesses to collect information about them --http://www.searchengineblog.com/2007/08/get-paid-10-to-collect-local-info.html Linkjuicy.com - A Site About Links- August 11, 2007 I've launched a new site called LinkJuicy.com. Needless to say, the site is about links :) The web was built on links, however issues surrounding the link have become complicated. Given the existence of search engines, and their link-based algorithms, the link is more than just a means to get from one place to another.
