It can be all work and no play… here’s a fun little video we made here in the office.

    Funny, I have a cat too!
    Found your page on Twitter and saw the avoid these techniques video. I was wondering about the cloaking part. Because I do cloak my affiliate links just to make them look good and to “protect my commissions” too.
    Is that a bad thing?
    Anyway, like your blog and you’ve got cool tweets.
    Regards, Andreas

    This really happened in my old company where the client needs to rank no.1 for “Transcription”. Good compilation Guys.

    Hey Andreas thanks for the message. That’s not quiet the cloaking I was referring to… I was talking about showing the search engines one thing and showing the user another. Cloaking affiliate links is fine.

    And Krishna, agreed it happens all too often.

    Your SEO Coach,

    I want to be #1 on Google too! (with or without the cat! 😛 )

    I like how this video brings every single thing that an online marketer needs to think about if he’s really serious about marketing his stuff.

    Quick question, do you think a .info can also rank #1 on Google when there’s already an existing .com that is ranking for the exact domain? Example is: bluebabystuff.com vs. blue-baby-stuff.info Thanks, Chris

    Hey Chris,

    Thanks for the comments. Personally I focus on .com, .net, .org … top level domains. I have seen some pretty awesome rankings with other extensions but I have never experimented enough to feel confident to publicly say it’s a good idea. What I do know is the TLDs I mentioned above rank well 🙂

    Sorry not too sure if that helps.

    Your SEO Coach,
    Dave

    This video speaks the truth. Somehow companies have this notion that they can pay their way to the number one spot on Google, when all that their SEO contractor can really do is to give it a shot or at least aim for what is called the low-hanging fruits.

    Everyone wants to be #1 on Google. 🙂

    I suppose Google is making that a lot harder now with the recent algorithm update affecting content farms?

    SEO can be easy, if you know the right keywords to target. But if you want to aim for credit cards, then good luck. I’m not saying it’s impossible. It’s just that you will be spending thousands or even millions of dollars to make it to the top 3.
