Apparently Jason Calacanis Knows He’s Spamming – He Just Thinks It’s No Big Deal
Posted at 8:30 am | Filed Under blogthropology, Cuttisms, Google, lackofmeds, marketing, psychoblogging, scams, SEO
Last month Jason Calacanis wrote a rather sarcastic post aimed at Aaron Wall, which I am assuming was written in response to Aaron’s post, “Black Hat SEO Case Study: How Mahalo Makes Black Look White!“. In it Aaron discusses how sites that are composed largely of nothing more than auto-generated pages wrapped in adsense can [...]

Why The Renewed Interest In The Linkscape Scams And Deception..?
Posted at 5:15 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, WTF
Yesterday a friend of mine, Sebastian, wrote a post titled, “How do Majestic and LinkScape get their raw data?“. Basically it is a renewed rant about SEOmoz and their deceptions surrounding the Linkscape product that they launched back in October 2008, a little over 15 months ago. The controversy is based around the fact that [...]

Robert Scoble Chews Out Lisa Barone’s Ass For Taking His Name In Vain – WTF?
Posted at 11:36 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, Social Media
Tonight Robert ‘I Am Thy Lord And Thou Shalt Kneel, Bitches!’ Scoble, a blogger who has some claim to internet fame through his blog Scobleizer, decided that the title of “technical evangelist” that has been often attributed him simply wasn’t enough, and that deity is apparently more fitting. Lisa Barone wrote a piece talking about [...]

My Blog Hacked, Yet Again – WordPress 2.6.5 Vulnerability / Exploit?
Posted at 3:51 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, psychoblogging, web design, Wordpress
Again, I’ve been hacked. Well, not me personally… I wear the most up to date tinfoil attire, I assure you, and no one is getting into my head… but my blog was. This time I was running WordPress 2.6.5 when it happened. Those who know me know that I always prefer to do manual upgrades, [...]

How To Remove Your Website From Linkscape *Without* An SEOmoz Meta Tag
Posted at 3:55 am | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, nerdiness, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media, web design
Over the past couple of weeks, one of the biggest concerns about SEOmoz’s new Linkscape tool (which I recently blogged about in reference to the bots that Rand refuses to identify, and then again due to suspicious additions of a phantom 7 billion pages to one of his index sources) has been the complete lack [...]

How To Add 7 Billion Pages To Your Index Overnight
Posted at 3:22 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Google, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media
A couple of days ago I posted my assertion that Rand Fishkin had lied about the details of the new Linkscape tool on SEOmoz. During the discussion that followed, Rand continued to maintain that they owned the bots that collected the data that powered the tool, despite several points on that being very unclear, and [...]

How To Block The Bots SEOmoz *Isn’t* Telling You About
Posted at 2:05 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, nerdiness, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, scams, SEO, Social Media
Ok, so, looks like Rand and gang finally decided to reveal their top-secret recipe about how they gathered all that information on everybody’s websites without anyone noticing what they were doing. There was quite a bit of hoopla over the fact that when they announced their new index of 30 billion web pages (and the [...]

Google Allows Ads Mocking Suicide
Posted at 3:40 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, Google, lackofmeds, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging, Social Media
During the Great Depression, the suicide rate jumped over 21.4%. It was a sad time for all, and the unemployment rate skyrocketed. Many people lost their homes and farms. The shame of not being able to provide for their families was simply too much for some. Last June, “Good Morning America” did a segment titled [...]

Write A Bad Check: Bond $1,500… Possession Of Cocaine: Bond $5 Bucks. Wtf?
Posted at 11:31 am | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, On The Ball-ness, psychoblogging
I live in Largo, FL, which is located in Pinellas County. People and the way things work aren’t always what you would call “normal” around here. Not sure if it’s the incessant heat, or something they put in the water, or the fact that we live within shouting distance of Scientology Central (which is located [...]

No, Just Lying About It Is NOT Effective Reputation Management
Posted at 9:46 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, lackofmeds, psychoblogging, scams, Social Media
If your reputation management strategy is going to be centered around lying about things, then you should at least have the sense to lie in ways that aren’t easy to refute. For instance, you should steer well clear from Be Sociable, Share! Tweet
