Gibberish and Bullshit

Gibberish Gibberish Gibberish. Bullshit Bullshit Bullshit.

Lets just spew whatever we can so that we can say we wrote an article quickly. Let’s not do any real research for it, lets just spew garbage.

We are going to drive lots of people to our place with this wonderful exercise in Inbound marketing because if you write it they will magically show. Saying something of value and actually directed at what you are trying to get from hem doesn’t matter. Why would it? We can write about whatever and then take the fact that it got Retweeted by 20 people (all run by myself) and say mission accomplished I got 40 people to read an article that says absolutely nothing. But hey that’s Inbound marketing for you.

Why would you want to actually research whatever it is we are going to say, lets just go to mashable or techcrunch (no time to link I’m trying to be fast) and just look at headlines and then write a couple hundreed words on what I got from that headline. Screw reading the article. Screw understanding that the logic they used to justify that headline was complete garbage. Why would I want to disprove that which is obviously wrong when that would make my own ideas seem bad then? Why would I want to show that my profession is a complete joke that does nothing but convince people they need my snake oil to cure their marketing problems. Why?

Top 10 ways to know your SEO / Social media expert is Full of shit

@davewoodson mentioned he needed to do a top 10 list of how to know your SEO expert is full of shit.  I decided to make my own using my mastery of the craft of asshattery (WTF chrome, asshattery is a word, quit telling me it’s not spelled right.)  So here are my top 10 ways to tell if your guy is full of shit.

1) His/her name is Dave Woodson

2) If you search for “Indiana FHA expert” and he/she shows up

3) He/she makes videos for their blog while driving

4) In previously mentioned videos, he/she says their website at the beginning and end, both times being the wrong site.

5) He/she has ever declared to a room full of people they are “your mayor”

6) Once blew a man in the parking lot of La Bambas so he/she could get an Avacado Burrito

7) He/she wears pink shorts

8) He/she write a blog about having the biggest cock in the world

9) Had to shut down previously mentioned blog once said cock was removed from his mouth

10) Someone else’s dog is the mayor of their own house on foursquare.

So grade your current SEO/SM expert and see how they did.  Wait they hit 10 out of 10?  I feel sorry for you.

Hehe, I kid the Dave and you all better know it.  He’s a good guy and can take a joke.  He does know a thing or 2 about SEO and SM and you should look him up to talk about it.  What’s even better is, unlike a lot of people who actually are completely worthless and full of shit when it comes to those things, is that he will talk with you about it for free instead of charging you 100′s for classes that teach you the wrong way to do things.  So come to a #nwitweetup and converse.  I’m sure you are bound to pick up a thing or 2 you probably didn’t already know.

Trying this out

Basically sick of breaking up tweets or trying to fit in 140 chars.  Will now use this to brain dump and to get my thoughts out their quicker on some topics.  Lots of times I want to expand more and say I need to write a full blog post on it full of facts being backed up and such but then I never am able to get to them.  So mainly going to use this to dump ideas quickly and not put as much research into them. If I then find some  magical item that gives me time I may expand more on it but overall it’s better to get something out there then nothing.  Also maybe if people respond to a specific topic might drive me to get to that full post sooner.

Oh well enjoy my Mental Dumps  :)
