Why are ad agencies wasting money on Print Media?
January 31, 2007
New York Times shows the new face of print media losing $648 Million in 90 Days.
How could a News Paper lose that staggering figure? We have a few answers for them. One of them running URL’s that look like they were coded by a 12 year old.
Example: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/30/education/30medical.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
But the main one is not realizing the strength of the Internet and the search engines in general.Â

Nothing Good comes from Russia
January 30, 2007
We at the Tribble Ad Agency noticed something, we forced all comments to be moderated and let the spam roll in for roughly 48 hours.
We then took those spam posts to see exactly what was going on. We figured we would give you a breakdown so you know where those 4873 spam comments in 48 hours came from.
57% Russia
22% US
10% China
4% India
7% Various
In essance more than 1/2 the spam comments came from Russian .ru domain names hosted in Russia.
The second leader in spam would be the .info domain name from US servers.
If you just ban .ru and .info from your comments, spam would be cut down in dramatic figures.
And an open letter to my Russian friends, please sell your Viagra at another website.

Google announces Agency of Record for George Bush and Tony Blair
January 26, 2007
Google announces Agency of Record for George Bush and Tony Blair.
Google has announced that they will protect George Bush and Tony Blair from negative Public Relations in their search engine.  Until yesterday, the #1 result for ‘Failure’ in Google led to George Bush’s profile page on Whitehouse.Gov and the #1 result for ‘Liar’ in Google led to Tony Blair’s profile page.
Google has now announced that they will become George Bush’s personal ‘Ad agency of Record’ by protecting him against negative PR. In essance they have removed any results that lead to George Bush’s profile page with a search containing ‘Failure’ ‘Miserable’ or any variation.
A similar note was made regarding Tony Blair.  In short, Google is now their PR agency.
It’s a bad thing when this happen, the entire reason Google was successful was due to it’s democratic nature of it’s Patented Pagerank system. Where links to webpages where considered votes, now it’s pressure from the Whitehouse that influences Google Results.
Currently there is an SEO contest regarding the keyword ‘ Globalwarming Awareness2007 ‘ , I am sure that that spam filled pollution of the SERPS pages will not face heavy handed tactics from Bush.. because Google isn’t concerned with spam as much as they are concerned with making sure George Bush looks good.

Pittsburgh SEO
January 24, 2007
We were looking at a Pittsburgh SEO firm and noticed several issues. (We are not going to mention them by name, but it’s quite comical to read what they have done).
They went out and issued a press release with no hyperlinks to their site. Their site had a total of 5 backlinks and ranked for virtually nothing.
To make matters worse they said they were ‘discontinuing web development and moving full force towards SEO’ . The next brillant step was to announce that this Pittsburgh SEO firm intends to ‘hand submit you to 3,000 search engines’ … Whoa… 3000 search engines? .. I normally don’t use ‘sir spam me search’ hence why Google, Yahoo and MSN combined have about 98-99% market share.
Several of the Pittsburgh SEO pages presented themselves with wonderful domain parked 404 error messages.
The site had a no contact us page with e-mail. Forcing everyone to call them… as if that would happen. Then after proving to the world they can’t rank for anything, they turned around and asked for 10 grand to do the same to others.
Pretty amazing stuff…. where do I sign?
You are better off choosing a reputable Pennsylvania based search optimization firm like Yooter InterActive.
