Is Google is a steamrolling web despot on amphetamines?

Trust issues, privacy concerns, foul treatment of partners and Big Brother is shinning through the seams.

With over three times the search market share of closest competitor Yahoo, Google is careening towards an ever expanding dark empire. (more…)

It’s that time again where Google updates the silly green bar so many webmasters misconceive.

Don’t let it happen to you, say no to pagerank, yes to life.

Here’s how to participate: (more…)

Linkbait is the New Viral Marketing. Same principle, new buzzword. More goal oriented. The one major objective, as the name implies, is gathering a slew of editorially given backlinks for your site.

There are few SEO tactics as rewarding as a successful piece of linkbait. For that reason, it has been discussed heavily on A-list blogs and beaten to death in every corner of the web. (more…)

Let’s postulate the following:

You are developing a piece of software that helps companies improve the efficiency of their business processes.

You know for a fact that your competitor is working on a piece of software that has the same proposed use. (more…)

Can you think of anything to do with Free PR 6 links?  I can’t either. But just in case you change your mind… (more…)

Until your blog becomes an “authority” that attracts links to itself by the sheer force of position and mindshare, you might want to add to your arsenal some of these paid link cheats.

Earlier this week Andy Beard posted a list of Paid Links and what they may be a direct or indirect compensation for.

The ones listed in this article are links that are “paid” for without an exchange of money and that are accessible to nearly all small bloggers and marketers.

As a “small blogger”, when a guy who’s name I instantly recognize from the industry posts a comment on my blog, it usually gives me a warm feeling inside.

When I got an email from Wordpress telling me Jim Kukral had left a comment, I was excited. That is, until I read the comment. Then it felt more like he had brought his poodle over to drop a shinny brown hot dog on my lawn.

Ealier this week, Masterfoods, best know for its Mars and Snickers chocolate bars, unceremoniously announced it was replacing its vegetable whey with the rennet based version.

A couple of days ago, I made a post about Camtasia and Who loves Money.

Admittedly, the video was quite bad and with a good deal of practice, I no longer sound like a zombie that’s had one too many sleeping pills.

The purpose of the video was not to sell Who Loves Money since I really wasn’t impressed with another Adwords Guide. Rather it was for readers to give me some feedback on what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong.

I’m happy to say the readers of Net Frontier Marketing responded to the offer and gave me a lot of things to think about.

One reader, who calls himself “Ray the Canuck” has quite some experience in the voice and pitch quality departments gave me some tips so good I will publish them below instead of leaving them as a comment on the post itself.

A lot of people reading this blog are smart affiliate marketers or product owners. Let’s call you future product owners. That’s the biggest service you could do yourself.

When you own a product, you have customers. At least I hope so.

A part of selling this product will undoubtedly be your guarantee. Better make it a good one. Long term, money back, no questions.

No matter how good your product is, there will always be people asking for refunds. It’s part of the game and you deal with it.

What you don’t need to deal with are the awful customers with poisonous attitudes that drain your will to live.
