Caydel’s SEO Blog

I’ve posted the ads I’ve noticed in the rotation so far - if you see some I have missed, let me know, and I will update this post with the new photos.

If I were Linux.com, I would be starting to think about removing the DoubleClick ads, and perhaps begin direct selling advertisements to companies that provide enterprise consulting and support in Linux. One of the main misconceptions about Linux is there is a lack of support available to corporate customers were they to make the switch. Providing advertisement to companies offering these services would immediately go some ways to alleviating these concerns. Additionally, Microsoft’s FUD campaign would have one less outlet.

On another note, this reminds me of the time when OpenOffice.org plastered Redmond transit routes frequented by Microsoft employees with ads promoting the OpenOffice.org software.

The beauty just came into my blog’s spam filter this morning:

Name: Anikrichard | E-mail: | URI: *spamlink* | IP: 72.9.235.218 | Date: September 5, 2007

hello , my name is Richard and I know you get a lot of spammy comments ,
I can help you with this problem . I know a lot of spammers and I will ask them not to post on your site. It will reduce the volume of spam by 30-50% .In return Id like to ask you to put a link to my site on the index page of your site. The link will be small and your visitors will hardly notice it , its just done for higher rankings in search engines. Contact me icq or write me , i will give you my site url and you will give me yours if you are interested. thank you

This is one of the more appealing spam emails I’ve seen - in return for him doing you a favour, and asking the nasty spammers to stop, all he wants is a link to his site.

I don’t have the time myself, but someone should talk to this guy and get his URL to ‘add a link’, then send him off the the Google Webspam team. Would be fun to see what happens. If anyone wants to take it on, let me know - I would love to see how it turns out / how quickly the guy is banned.
