Lets Play Work - Ha Ha

Dont worry I’ll be one of you again someday…

Seth Godin is a genius.

…which sounds like something I would only say if I lost a bet - I thought he had a real marketing slipup when he first heard about the Squidoo spam problem (here is Squidoos blog on the subject) But then a few days later he comes back with this:

deeply weird SEO

I mean it, this entity has a very strange mind, but this post about getting a<blink> free PR8 LINK !!! </blink> is exactly the kind of mad skills that you need to really be a classic SEO practitioner in the current game. I couldn’t hack it in this environment…I had to turn to MAKING MONEY […]

I know Google has a supernaturally healthy corporate culture and everything but surely some of them get irritated by smug posts like this from Matt Cutts. Wherein he thinks that that the justifiable outrage over Lauren Turner naked plea for health care astroturf money is actually a teachable moment for corporate bloggers everywhere, and thus […]

Update from Google’s Department of Evil

Oy. They really need to confiscate the keys to her blog for a couple of weeks. I’m sure they will, because obviously they made her do a complete backpedal. Google is left staking the dramatic opinion “advertising is an effective medium for handling challenges that a company or industry might have” Google might be […]
