Who Creates Fud In The Seo Market Place?

You’ll see many people who feel that SEO is marketed using FUD, that’s Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. The assumption is that all those spamming emails you receive offering to get you on the first page of Google use this. You must have thousands of web pages and thousands of back links or you will not achieve this obviously important ranking.

I realized the biggest creator of FUD in this scenario is Google itself.

Local Search Manipulated by Google, Site Owners Miffed

In an end of the year slap in the face to web site owners and marketers, Google shows it is now a true kissing cousin to Microsoft.

I’m quite convinced the Google “response” was misdirection. Oh hell. Its a lie.

There is some real disdain being felt right now for the screwy way in which Google has responded to questions about why they made this change. Google has a way of compounding existent frustrations caused by poor communication by then giving conflicting responses to issues like these.

the google reaction was weak. Something is going on. They aren’t being straight.

Google Local Presents Usability Issues

Any search engine marketer who has attempted to register their client’s business web site with Google Local Business is met with some serious usability roadblocks. Google put into place several security and privacy steps, but they come at a price.

Before a listing is accepted, Google must call the business to verify they want their listing published. If you are the site owner and you’re entering your business information, you are likely also near a phone. When the automated phone call is placed, you’re there to answer it, retrieve the code it assigns you and finish your online application.

How Social Networking Responds to Death

At Cre8asiteforums, we’re discussing the Internet response to celebrity deaths. What some of us saw early on, particularly in the case of Michael Jackson, was a mix of shock and grief and a sudden vile response. If you didn’t present the “correct” opinion in Twitter, you could risk being “unfollowed”.

Participants in The Internet Response To Michael Jackson’s Sudden Death bring a variety of experiences from all over the world.

For many, the Internet was NOT the place to go for any kind of solace or even factual information. It is, however, where millions went at first and many sites crashed as a result.
