Jon Fisher and Volk Competition

August 5th, 2008 by Dave Conklin | Posted in Link Bait, Link Building, Funny Stuff

So, I thought it was kind of fun and cool that Jon Fisher and Jon Volk are having a competition to see who's blog can rank higher for the other person's name. This kind of goes back to the good old miserable failure google bomb that happened a while back. Volk is a friend of ours, so we thought we'd support him in his quest. ;)

He's a Link Architect." No, I'm not arrogant enough to actually talk about myself in the third person for very long, so that won't work either. Anyway, I am who I say I am... and this past Tuesday I was welcomed by the ProspectMX team to become their ...

If you haven't yet read the SEO Flattery Experiment post, it's available here.

March 13th, 2008 by Dave Conklin | Posted in Small Business, Link Bait, Link Building

I was very impressed this morning while reading an article by Matt McGee about a company called Pink Cake Box, who sells specialty cakes located in New Jersey. The internet marketing success story talks about how the company was able to succeed online. Because of their online success, they have received a lot of media attention and sales growth. But the foundation all begins with a remarkable product. If you don't have a product that sticks out from the norm, ...

I've been trying to talk my customers into some three way link love lately. Crazy!?!?! Yep! Check it out. When you're building links for a new domain name that was recently purchased, which some experts feel isn't worth the time, I believe that it's EXTREMELY important to start first by creating content that is actually valuable for the sites competitors...

Turning off CAPS LOCK When Using Synergy with PC and MAC

February 27th, 2008 by Dave Conklin | Posted in Link Bait, Link Building

My computer setup at home includes my laptop on the left, MAC G5 in the middle and PC on the right. I use a completely killer application called Synergy that allows me to use one keyboard and mouse with all three. So what's the problem?
