Why isn’t anyone bidding on Angelina Jolie

Administrator — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:28:40 +0000

I was told that it is very expensive to bid on the keyword Angelina Jolie. As a matter of fact I was told the minimum bid was $5, so this page is an attempt to determine whether Angelina Jolie and perhaps her current movies: Wanted, Changeling, and Kung Fu Panda are expensive.

Oops Earthlink DNS hijacks Live.com search traffic

Administrator — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:42:06 +0000

This was funny. went to live.com to check if a client site was well crawled. Got the main page, but when I his search, the earthlink DNS money machine kicked in. For thepurposes of this illustration, I swapped the search term to “car.” When I changed DNSs Live returned, so I doubt the root DNS entry was bad.

Should Alexa kill Alexaholic?

Administrator — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:23:01 +0000

Alexa has a webservices API. Generally they are A-OK with folks using their data in either API or Widget form. Apparently having the word Alexa in Alexaholic’s name was enough to raise the ire of the folks at Amazon. Even though the owner of the domain has changed the name to Statsaholic (and plans to display traffic graphs from Compete and Quantcast, two Alexa competitors), it still looks like he’s fighting an uphill battle. He’s looking for support from the iMarketing and blogger community. Alexaholic was a creative way to display Alexa data, better then the original site. Creativity shouldn’t be punished.

I’m thinking of launching 6x.com as an online business directory

One of our marketing managers came up with a great idea. Dave Pasternack T-shirts that say SEO is not Rocket Science from Cafe Press.

Dave Pasternack SEO and SEM contest

Administrator — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 22:16:48 +0000

OK, this is getting funny. Threadwatch. is ruining a Dave Pasternack SEO contest (details here). All because Dave said SEO isn’t rocket science in response to data from a Marketing Sherpa report and having been in the SEO business for ten years. (since 2001 we only do SEO audits for clients illustrating the low hanging fruit problems that need to be addressed and highlighting best practices). From now till March 1st, a whole bunch of SEOs who apparently have free time are going to work to try to come up high in Google for the search phrase Dave Pasternack. Dave may end up more famous than the chef, owner of Esca (a great NYC seafood restaurant).

By the way if Google’s purity is preserved (perhaps through bloggers who wish to anchor link to Dave’s bio page on our site), and we win the $1000, we’ll donate it to the American Cancer Society.
