Saddle up for, perhaps, the most comprehensive aggregation of bullshit I have witnessed to date.  Yes, I am talking about the Google Moderator for Video Questions page as part of The King’s new ongoing series where He repeatedly bashes dumbass questions.  There is an endless supply of crap here and I intend to bask in [...]

In a new series here on the SEOBS blog, (Old School Spammers), I decided to post some of the more funny/silly/bullshit emails we get from so-called ‘SEO Providers’. The genesis for this was a company that had the brilliant fore-sight to actually spam us through THE SEOBS CONTACT PAGE!! WTF? Are ye mad? …

Yup… you already probably know what im going to write about… today, Monday May 10th the world ended for many Twitter users.  For about one hour – YOU COULDN’T SEE HOW MANY FOLLOWERS / FOLLOWING YOU HAD!!!!!!!!! I know, Devestating!!! While many of us had fun and realized that this was a bug, many others [...]

“kæptʃə?” Thanks, for that.  It really helps.  I thought it was pronounced “ΣσςΔδ.”  My bad. Now, after I started this post, I found a similar post of all Bullshit Captchas lists.  While that list is now a bit dated, it’s still pretty good.  In that post, there are some serious captchas and some obvious jokes. I [...]

Trust me. I like some mystery in the deal; it’s what keeps what I do as a valuable service. But let’s not pretend what I’m doing on your site is akin to particle physics. I’m not speaking in a made-up marketing language. Yes, “keyword phrases, trust and relevance, and links”, are all very real words [...]

I hereby declare the Google Webmaster Central Blog’s latest video post, Site Performance For Webmasters, a bunch of bullshit. Without exaggeration…this is absolutely the worst Google video I’ve ever seen. The video contains all kinds of bullshit, but I’ll just mention the things that really annoyed me. Go watch the video, then come back and [...]

And other delusional tales of woe Yeah. I’ve heard it all before, many times. And I have no doubt that over the years I will continue to hear it. The same boring repetitive ignorant statements from the same boring, repetitive (sometimes) ignorant people. Let’s just get this clear. These sort of statements about …

I’ve gone to my share of conferences. I’ve spoken at some, listened at others. And with a few notable exceptions, at least one goober gets up on stage and says things about SEO that make me cringe. Examples from the last year include: The happily clueless Some idiots will just spout totally incorrect stuff with [...]

I don’t excel at much. What I do excel at is the ability to spend a whole lot of brain cycles on a SERP Scoring algorithm for my SERP checker that, in the end, will provide, at best, a cursory glance at a ‘score’ for all 3 major search engines. I need help from the community to code-up [...]

I think Google loves to make SEO’s squeal.  Google personalized search just drives most search engine specialists insane!  For people that aren’t familiar with “personalized search” it is a specific way Google displays your search results.   If you frequently search for shoes and click on the Nike.com website Google personalized search will remember that.  The [...]
