Doug’s Mouthpiece – Droug.co.uk

Use a PR story and get 14000 links

SEO written by Doug Scott

Good old Lyndon at www.cornwallseo.com has written a great piece of link bait for those boys at money.co.uk….it didn’t take the money.co.uk boys after that $2.4 million spend to go and create some fun and get some links.

So here is the storey he created:

13 Year Old Steals Dad’s Credit Card to Buy Hookers

Nice ladies boots – go and follow this and see our lovely site:)

Now Lyndon has pulled the storey from his site of what he did, but basically it is:

create an interesting storey

get all your friends on the social networking sites to plug it – Lyndon has lots..it helps

keep plugging and hope it goes viral…this one went massive and the storey ran on Fox news, here is the video:

Lyndon genius

Now money.co.uk have their 14000 inbounds they can start hiding the anchor text links:)

Here is what Lyndon said originally before the noise:

None of it is true, it’s a completely made up yarn. How do I know? I wrote it. It’s what I do for a living. I write content for websites which creates a buzz and hopefully gets links and people to the intended target.

The story was specifically crafted to appeal to the online crowd and included a number of “hot buttons” which resonated with people of a certain mindset.

Pandering to prejudices? Absolutely.

The intention was to create something so unbelievably magnetic that people had to pass it on and tell others in the form of linking to it, sticking it on their TV show, printing it up, and chatting about it on a radio show.

Did I know the story was going to be this big? No of course not, but it is what I aim for. Whether or not a piece of content goes viral is not up to me. The factors which decided the success of such a thing are too numerous to quantify and compute.

Doug wondering if Lyndon’s fees have gone up or is he hiding from Google

SEO’s or dodgy crooks – is this legal?

Just seen this on Dave Naylors blog:

Looks like it was someone trying to get links removed that pointed to insurance.com

Is this legal? Intersting scenario as I may have to get out my old typewriter and send letters to all those people who link to Lastminute.

So soon we will have link removing Indian companies…….$5 per link removed

Why are good SEO’S all mad?

SEO written by Doug Scott

Over the years I have met many of the good and great seo’s in the world and they all have one common theme….they are mad.

Seriously they all seem to have some strange but similar characteristics:

• large number of dyslexics
• large number of left handers
• all are obsessive
• most can’t finish a task
• most did not do well in academia
• most are hopeless at being employees
• they all like to work at night
• most are heavy drinkers
• most are over weight
• they are all odd
• most have bad diets

Just look at some well known mad people and then check if they are a seo’s

Dave Naylor – www.davidnaylor.co.uk

Dave is no longer drinking

Aaron Wall – www.aaronwall.com

Aaron is no longer playing football or looking like this

Jason Duke – www.strangelogic.com

Jason is now a corporate teaboy

Jeremy Schoemaker – www.shoemoney.com

Jeremy is no longer sleeping with Paris Hilton

Barry Lloyd – www.makemetop.com

Barry looks nothing like this

Dixon Jones – www.dixonjones.com

Dixon still looks the same – ugh

Just a small selection here of mad people, why do they all have the same traits?
