Duh
And there it is again. Today's "Duh Moment". Right smack on the Searchengineguide.com website (I won't embarress the company by saying where) is an ad claiming to GUARANTEE Website Inclusion.
Well of course it's guaranteed silly! All you need is $299 for Yahoo!, misc. money per URL for all the others, someone to link to your site so you can get into Google for free and a quality site so you can get into DMOZ. It's that easy. Now, if you can guarantee the number one spot in all the top search portals without doing anything "unethical", I'm all ears.
Today's sad news: I can't get Otis to stop pulling the X-mas garland off the staircase. (Otis is a 3 month old kitten.) Today's glad news: The outside temperature is still above zero. Barely. Latest adventure: Finding a humidifier that doesn't make so much noise it keeps everyone awake. Believe it or not: Jill and Phil are battling it out (again) over at the Cre8asiteForums.com in the Does SEO=SPAM? thread. If you go there, bring your earplugs.
