Here’s a ROFL ‘what-if’ situation: What if Google needs to do SEO?
Before SEO

Google - before SEO works
After SEO

Google - after SEO works
Okay, maybe it’s not that funny.
At least not funny for some webmarketers who work 10 hours a day building links. SEO or SEM are always in an unfair arm wrestling game with the search engines.
Whether you’re doing link exchange, or writing link baiting content, or suck up your designs with all the web 2.0 icons, or spend thousands to buy link - eventually small webmasters and SEOs like us will get burnt when the algorithm changed.
Sure, a website with useful application or good content is most likely to be spreaded in viral effects. but in the first place you will need to market it hard (which goes back to buying links and kissing digger’s ass). secondly you need quite an amount of money and effort for the developing the *useful* (and unique!) web application along with a cool web designs. com’on, not everyone’s born and live in Silicon Valley where rich guys are hanging around waiting to sponsor your projects!
If Larry Page and Sergey Bin live in Bombay, I bet their success won’t come this easy. Klenier Perkins and Sequoia Capital wont be funding the project and Google might be still hosted at the back of Sergey’s garage. true?
Alright, back to the funny stuffs, check out this brialliant kuso on the making of this SEO-ed Google homepage.

You wouldn’t be listening to your favourite author if there’s no Internet connection and cheap VoIP calls.
However, fact is, there’s is plenty of cheap VoIP call services around and Internet connection wasn’t much of a problem nowadays. live call conferences nowadays are MUCH cheaper than you think - chances are it might cost $0 with little condition.
One of my favourite author/web marketer - Seth Godin - is setting up a live call conference on this coming April 9th. Join this conference call on and learn directly from Seth Godin himself.
Anyone who bought the book and is interested are free to join in; but the calls are specially designated for entrepreneurs, small business owners and marketing professionals in all industries.

…because it wouldn’t be nice for a company’s public image that a search of the company name return a long list of complaints. users are researching the quality of service online and they might turn to other broadband services.

Honestly, while streamyx is not doing good in many areas, it has however improved A LOT compared to one/two years ago. except for the torrent throttle and lousy customer service, the DL and UL speeds have been pretty good for mine. i’d tried using other broadband services like Metrofon (and as well heard about the quality of Maxis Broadband*)… nothing’s as good as streamyx so far.
Thus, i will be happy to exchange the ranting post with a three years of guaranted free-and-fast internet connection.
Yap, i think you should do the same for Streamyx Sucks.
*Sidenote: Reader Freddy commented that the Maxis Broadband is doing well and allow P2P on recently but I cant be sure of it.
