I did mean literacy and thanks for asking.

I just got an email from Jack Humphrey. He wrote it only to me and I know this because it was my email and he said, “David,” as the salutation. So, the next 300 paragraphs were written as a one-to-one communication to me. Wow, I feel special.

I watched the video about his new TrackBoost Software and I just gotta say…what a load of crap!

Here’s the news, (I’ll save you some money), the latest version of Wordpress automatically nofollows comments and trackbacks. So, nice video. It’s a handy piece of software to make your trackbacks easier but as far as useful for SEO purpose, you’re better off linking to yourself LIKE THIS.

Here’s a list of links to the articles Jack Humphrey supposedly got great SEO links from, (all of which are nofollow, by the way):

2. http://www.newmediabytes.com/2008/04/03/how-to-write-web-headlines-for-people/
3. http://www.internetmarketingforums.net/articles-marketers-knowledge-base/7758-10-powerful-secrets-dazzling-sales-copy.html…but it’s not even a blog plus there are about 40 results for the phrase, “10 powerful secrets for dazzling sales copy”.

5. http://webfundu.com/blog/blog/how-to-write-a-good-title-for-your-blog-posts/ (does not accept trackbacks or comments)

Check them out, (of course I have nofollowed all the links in honor of TrackBoost). I don’t know, man. It seems like everybody is out to make the trip even though the ship has sailed. Here’s the truth about all your 49 way traffic swap link building schemes…they don’t work. All the search engines are hip to your game, player! By all the search engines, I mean Google, Yahoo, and MSN…errr…LIVE. Ask.com is nothin’ but ads now. Go check it out, I’ll wait here.

I know there are literally hundreds of search engines out there…actually, make that thousands but you are wasting your time if you are trying to get to the top of the results for altavista or lycos. Just stop trying to game the system. Produce unique content that is decent enough that people want to read it. Don’t just throw a bunch of crap in there like Gebobooganringerdened, (I’m Googling that word in 1o minutes). The only bigger waste of time is looking for that “submit a site” link on Google.

Best of luck,

David

Orange County SEO
I am very curious to see what happens when I hit submit. It usually takes about 10 minutes for my new blog to show up in the SERPS. Here’s the thing though…so what if I rank highly for Orange County SEO, (search engine optimization). It’s not like I’m an expert in Google, Yahoo, MSN, or anything else out there. Sure, I know a few things about a few things. The links back from the one Mortgage SEO article I wrote about a year and a half ago prove that. You can check the link here: Mortgage SEO. I wouldn’t spend a lot of time on it. It’s about 1500 words of pure gold and I think most of it stands up today except that an excellent search optimizator, (such as yours truly), charges a hell of a lot more than $60,000 a year, (that was a hint in case you want to know). Ok, so…like I said, this is just a test to see what happens when I submit this blog. Orange County SEO is the category that fits me best and Orange County California is where I live and work performing search engine optimization.
