Black Hat SEO Digest

Black Hat User Agents

So this morning I was adding some new features to Wordpress Monthly and I needed a bunch of user agents to abuse a certain article directory.

After digging I found a list of thousands:

Women Rise Up!

Glowleaf just published a little article on his blog talking about women and how they are capable of pretty much kicking our tails at affiliate marketing.

(see here)

It got me thinking though.  It’s 100 percent true.  I bought this scrapbooking domain (an info one at that) a few years ago when she got interested in scrapbooking.  I figured if she would start blogging about what she was doing it would start to pay for the insane amount of money she was spending on scrapbooking stuff.

(if your wife or yourself doesn’t scrapbook you have no clue how much money we are talking about).

So after a year or two of badgering I finally got her to make some posts on the blog – 6 to be exact.

Those 6 posts generate about 100 dollars in revenue.  Revenue from share-a-sale (3 percent payout) on PAPER.  Yep – paper.

Freakin insane.

Anyway, it works because she is in the MIND of her readers.  They comment, have conversations, link to products, etc..

Men don’t do that stuff unless we are bitching about electronics.

Your neighbor has the flu – watch out!

I just love lot’s of data.  Except for the pouring over it and figuring it out part.  I like it even more when someone else does all that work.

I don’t like it when it’s Google (they have to much data about me and you both).

For a change Google is going to help you agoraphobics out there and give you one more reason to stay in the house.

No more ‘guessing’ if the flu is kicking your states butt -

Ohh at the moment it’s moderate in Delaware where I live.  I guess I’m staying inside all week (I hate the flu).
