Spammers are the nicest people
икона за подаръкthis is a post I did back in 2007 but is still relevant today, sigh………….
I don’t know why everyone is so down on spammers. I mean look at the wonderful things they have to say about me. I don’t even get this kind of lovin’ from my family. My family look at my blog and say, well they don’t say anything, cause they don’t know what to say. But then along come some complete strangers and they pour out the love.
I mean I don’t even know these people and yet they tell me how wonderful I am and how cool my site is and even thank me. That’s right, they thank me! They say things like, cool site, thanks or great work thank you. Their moms sure did a good job raising them. Why can’t we all be more like spammers, they are the nicest people.
Cool site!! thanks!!! Lorazepam Dosage Valium Addiction Valium Addiction Adipex Drug Loss Weight Adipex Drug Loss …
It is a cool site and thank you for reminding me about all the drugs I’m failing to take. Got anything for hair loss?
I just want to say thank you for taking the time & effort for put this web page together! Please visit my homepage too: (too many pages to list, everything from ringtones to viagra)
Why, you’re welcome. I also want to take the time and effort to tell you to bugger off! While you’re at it, try to focus on one spam product at a time.
I really enjoyed this page. I will be linking and I will be trying to read and research all that there is to offer from this site! Would you please also visit my homepage? (another long list of drugs)
Thank you. I look forward to a link from your spammy website. Please do read and research all that there is to offer from this site and then tell me, why are you still spamming me?
Very good web site, great work and thank you for your service. Chuck
You’re welcome Chuck! Not quite clear what my service was though. Would that be providing you a site you can comment spam on? Don’t mention it, that’s why I blog, so you can spam.
I am very impressed how you can build webpages! Please visit my homepage, Betty
Wow Betty, if you’re impressed with how I can build webpages, wait til you see me blow milk bubbles out my nose. Now that’s impressive!
Hello – this is just a testing, dont worry about it
Great, I was worried but now I won’t and don’t you worry about me clicking the delete button.

Global Search Engine Marketing: A Book Review
There’s no doubt that the search engine market is growing at a rapid rate around the globe as more and more people come online. comScore reports that more than 88 per cent of Internet users are outside the US. Finally there’s a book on the market that addresses this compelling fact and it covers global pay-per-click, SEO, social media, mobile apps, multilingual web analytics and more.
The book “Global Search Engine Marketing: Fine Tuning Your International Search Engine Results” by Anne Kennedy, founder and managing partner of Beyond Ink and Kristján Már Hauksson, founder of Nordic eMarketing and fellow blogger at Multilingual Search.
The first chapter titled “Can You Afford Not to Think Globally” addresses the sheer size of the global search engine market pointing out that in October 2011 there were 185 billion searches worldwide. That’s nearly 6 billion searches a day, 248+ million searches per hour or 4 million searches per minute. That’s a whole lotta searching going on! It also points out the one size does NOT fit all when doing business online worldwide.
In the second chapter “Common Territory: Search Marketing Without Borders” the authors discuss the commonalities in search engine marketing around the globe including mistakes like having a single English only website, using mechanical translations (my personal pet peeve) and using literal translations of your English keywords. The chapter also covers setting goals, keyword research, talent, localization and other common issues.
Other chapters are divided by countries or regions; China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, South Korea, India, Nordic countries, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Canada, Brazil, South America, Mexico, Singapore, as well as Middle Eastern and North African countries.
Each country/regional chapter covers the markets’ online profile, search market share, common mistakes, ppc, seo, analytics, press releases and ends with a tips section. The search market share was very interesting showing Google’s domination in most countries but also their competition with Baidu in China, Yandex in Russia and Naver in South Korea.
The common mistakes section in each country was interesting as well with revelations like search marketers lumping countries in Asia together, Singapore, China and Hong Kong for example and using direct translations like “mobile phone” in Germany. The tips were also helpful including where to focus more on mobile or which countries have larger broadband penetration where you could use rich media.
There are two additional chapters “SEO/SEM Resources” that covers books, website tools, pr and conferences and “Google Countries and Domains” showing the country, language(s) and the domain of Google search in that country. As a global search engine marketer with some experience I found this book enlightening and filled with wonderful nuggets of information. This is a book that you not only want to read but refer to quite often as you plan and execute your global search engine marketing strategy.

The first conference will be held July 19 – 20, 2010 at the Marian Del Ray Marriott Hotel. The cost is $525 for the two day conference but there is an early bird price until June 10: $495.

“We have gone around and handpicked the best lineup of speakers that you won’t find at any other Internet Marketing conference. Not only have we done that, but, because we have limited it to the best of the best, we have panels with a MAX of 3 people and sometimes even 2. You won’t have to worry about speakers rushing through a 10 minute deck or anything, they’ll bring you in-depth discussions, with ample amounts of time for audience Q&A. Not only do we have Internet Marketers with success in SEO, Social Media Marketing, SEM, etc., we have brought in a lineup of extremely successful startup entrepreneurs that will talk you through Entrepreneurship, raising capital, marketing metrics, distribution, and buying/selling companies’.
