Syzlak’s SEM

Great Scott!!!

This is pretty heavy.

Amazing news: Apparently, aimClear has that same problem that Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have…except with himself!!!!

Excerpt from an interview with the esteemed Todd Mintz

Comment on other blogs, where you participate rather than self-promote. Identify niche’ social media communities like Sphinn and bring perspectives which offer value through your membership.

Good point Marty! It is really annoying when people self-promote.

Hey! Wait a minute here!

Do you understand the words that are coming out OF YOUR OWN mouth?!??!?!

Now, you could say that technically this is promoting SEMpdx and Todd Mintz, both of which deserve all the press in the world. However, to me it’s just another example of bullshit self-promotion coming from someone that says self-promotion is wrong. For regular readers, aimClear is the same person that was referenced in my article about why SEO gets a bad rap, mostly due to his abuse of the StumbleUpon system in the eyes of the StumbleUpon community for, what else, “stumbling” (and apparently mis-categorizing) his own sites, pages, etc.

Everyday I wake up, hoping that the community will make significant strides to advance our industry and improve our rep …and everyday I’m disappointed.

WolfQuest?!??!?! This is supposed to equate to international prominence as a recording “artist?”

On Second Thought…

There is one thing I have to say…

WebTrends sucks.  Anybody ever use them? Similar experiences, different experiences?  To me, their products are over-priced, bloated and convoluted when compared to the vast number of options for analytics software.  Just today, I was told that, because my client’s site had so few visitors they were unable to show me any data.

Really?

I’ve been sick all week, I’m behind on work and there’s nothing much to write about…

oh, except for this

The Eternal Struggle – 2.13

The latest in the Eternal Struggle (what we’re now calling Microsoft’s offer to buy Yahoo)

Now it appears that Fox is trying to come to Yahoo’s “rescue.” Shit, at this point I’d rather have Microsoft involved.

Fox…

Seriously, Fox…meaning, this asshole:

Lord, let’s just have Disney buy them

Microsoft Takes Cue from Tom Petty – Won’t Back Down to Yahoo!

Others cry while Syzlak emulates Oregonian style headline

Microsoft has decided to reiterate that their offer to buy Yahoo! was fair, and is not removing the offer from the table. More to come as we watch this play out.

I know that Steve and I made joke posts (Steve’s idea) last week in response to Microsoft’s initial offer, but as the future of search and a company that I respect are involved we’re going to try to stay serious at Syzlak’s and cover this as true journalists: with integrity and respect.

…actually I just couldn’t find a pic where the Microsoft logo was giving it to the Yahoo! logo

Edit: Thanks Nate!
