And for the record, those "bullshit conferences" I speak at that you refer to in your attack on my reputation? Rand Fishkin, Jim Boykin and Matt Cutts routinely attend and speak at those same conferences.
Apparently you find yourself much more of an SEO expert than even those gentlemen as well.
By now you will have possibly actually read the email I sent you a short while ago.
I don't go around making claims about achievements the way you do, let alone achievements anyone can obviously check for themselves to see you don't have the rankings you claimed.
Instead, I choose to discuss achievements with prospective clients. In private. Because they're none of your business.
Unlike you, I don't go around in public proclaiming I'm one of the top four SEO experts in the world. While I definitely come across as an asshat from time to time in my ranting, I learned a long time ago that such arrogance is even more immature and foolish than my ranting about others who act like asshats.
In fact, personally, many years ago, I routinely went around filled with the type of arrogance you clearly have expressed repeatedly. And I don't know about you, however for me, in those days, it was a result of a severe lack of self esteem.
Puff up your chest as big as you wish. It's quite entertaining.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: More about Reputation Management
He's pissed I ignored his repeated direct emails demanding I accept his challenge to an SEO duel. And now he has to get double-pissed because he linked to a different person with my name - a guy who lives in Florida (I've never lived in florida) who owns a sign company (I've never owned a sign company) who has a C rating on the BBB.
It's like maybe Tom got advice from Charles, and now they're trying some sort of reverse Alan Cooper on my identity or something. :-)
You present your company as a professional services provider. Yet you have extremely outdated content on your site. Content that is misleading given that you are no longer ranking for the phrases referenced. Content that is outdated related to techniques and methods that have long since died in the world of SEO.
If you want to rant at me, and yet you can't even find the content on your own site, perhaps you've been too busy in work and life, and have left the site relegated to someone younger in the field than you. That's possible. Maybe you're too busy doing great work for actual clients to be bothered.
Whatever the reason, I simply pointed it out and drilled holes in the content your own site claims and puts out to the world.
I don't need to take your challenge. I have nothing in this to prove. My clients and prospective clients have all the access to all the real world data that shows I know what I'm doing.
Feel free to continue referring to the conferences I speak at the way you do. That's your right to do if you so choose. No skin off my back.
First of all, thank you for including my name in your article. Since you are highly skilled at your work, you did an OUTSTANDING job of linking to a BBB entry for someone else who happens to have the same name as me. I have never owned a sign company, nor have I ever lived in Florida.
Clearly you have invested many decades of time and effort in your work to have failed to even consider that possibility.
Maybe you really are that good at SEO. All of the references I made came directly from your site. Your site claimed top rankings organically for a variety of high value internet marketing phrases, not the one you are now waving on high. None of the ones your own site referenced bring your company up anywhere in the first five pages of results.
That was the basis for my position.
SO before you blow vomit all over your shoes again please. Consider investing that $100,000 in more education for yourself. Or actual SEO that would help you get those more difficult phrases back that you lost forever ago.
Just a suggestion. Because I am far from perfect - yet at least I actually did real research on you before I commented here, as opposed to your quick shooting blind rebuttal that had no basis in factual response to mine.
Oh - and just for giggles, on one page of their site:
"HTPcompany.com is #1 for SEO Company, Internet Marketing Company and #4 for Marketing Company. So I have some proof of what I am talking about. However I am always learning."
Of course, they DON'T rank for any of those. At all. So it's possible their hack craptastic, myopic bullshit methods might have worked years ago. You know - before Google actually began figuring out how to slap idiots like that down. But no longer.
And the final kicker in their scammy spammy bullshit?
Yeah A closing line on one of their pages:
"Please phone us to discuss advertising on 121,000 different web sites."
Talk about a bullshit hacktastic spam path to "SEO"! Epic.
Anyone who creates a crappy bullshit based article using a crappy blogspot post is not someone you should trust to do your SEO.
Anyone who claims "it is less expensive to hire a good SEO company to push down the negative and perhaps false articles and complaints" is full of shit and someone you shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Anyone who's "SEO" site includes a claim "We rank on AOL" among their accolades is someone you shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Anyone who touts big brands as proof that they are good at SEO is also waving a false flag of proof, since those big brands usually only need adjustments rather than full blown effort given that as a big brand they carry a LOT of built-in cache' regarding authority and trust already. So if all they do is claim a handful of big brands, while failing to specify WHAT they've done for them (especially since I know the ACTUAL company that provides SEO for at least one of the brands he claims they've worked with on their site), is someone you should probably shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Anyone who claims "keyword density" as one of their services is someone you shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Anyone who has a page URL that includes "pick_the_best_search_engine" and has a page title that includes "Best Search Engines, Company Reviews", but then just embeds videos from Google talking about how search engines work is someone you shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Any company that suggests you should pay attention to the PageRank of sites (the TBPR variety) is someone you shouldn't trust to do your SEO.
Any company that suggests techniques to rank on AllTheWeb, Teoma and AltaVista is someone you should not trust to do your SEO.
Any company that says to use linkpartners.com and linksmanager.com is someone you should DEFINITELY not trust to do your SEO.
Any company that claims " Only an idiot would use Home as the anchor text of a text link." is someone you should not trust to do your SEO.
Any company who suggests there are times when you would "need a lot" when referring to reciprocal links is an outright hack company I wouldn't trust with a thousand foot pole.
In the case of a Carreon, the SEO effort required to successfully "push down" the negative content (to at least the 3rd page of results) and then be sure that effort will successfully KEEP it pushed down, is more likely to cost in the order of $250,000.
You may be able to push it down a couple notches for much less, but so what? if it's still on the 1st page of results, the very next article, or link or even just a few updated comments on an old entry are enough to bring them right back up at that level.
If you click through to Tom's Blogspot profile, there's a link to his web site
From the site:
Our Founder
In 1987, Tom Forrest, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of HTP Company began in the software industry. When the Internet began to take root Mr. Forrest formed the technology focus of the business which is today considered a worldwide leader in its field of search engine optimization, Internet advertising, software development and web design. Mr. Forrest has a BS degree studies in business and engineering from Illinois State University, an MS Degree in computer engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and has taken graduate studies in business and engineering from UCSB. Mr. Forrest has nearly twenty (20) years of successful sales, engineering, management, and marketing experience in the software and Internet industries.
They apparently have several offices around the world. Including one in India, likely the source of the overwhelming majority of their hacked "SEO" - the crap they probably churn out that's likely as craptastic as the "opinion" piece Tom puked up fro Charles.
And yes, it's guys like Tom that make me, a true SEO professional, want to vomit. All over my feet as I run away screaming after seeing shit like that out there.
Every once in a while throughout a lifetime, I am encouraged that good results can eventually come from utter injustice. Carreon, Righthaven... And it's now looking like just maybe Prenda will get theirs as well...
"Your honor, as our actions show, as soon as we finally realized, after much denial and avoidance, that our unethical actions would no longer be tolerated, we immediately put a stop to them. This clearly shows our newly found desire to not be thrown in jail."
Salt March and Alan Mony are just dopplegangers to Alan Cooper. No need to throw more fuel on that line. Wright already has enough evidence to just focus on the criminals.
as supermarket shelves empty of all their popcorn stock, manufacturers will ramp up production, temporarily improving farmer revenue. Farmers will base this coming year's crop volume on this data.
When the dust of the case settles, there will have been an overproduction problem and supermarkets will end up reversing their increased purchase efforts.
Manufacturers will then, in turn, have to lay off thousands of workers as the popcorn bubble bursts.
Eventually, farmers will have no choice but to sell off the over-produced corn however they can, and take massive financial losses extending out into next year's crop.
Others impacted will include corn oil producers, cannola oil producers, cardboard manufacturers, cardboard recyclers, 3rd party contractor trucking companies, and a host of others.
In the end, the government will have to step in and tax LOLcats to compensate for the popcorn industry bail-out.
