starting SEO part One

what are your favorite tools?
for SEO
aka
Search Engine Optimization... ?
It is actually a huge market,
both white, grey, and black.

Just do a search; if you never heard of it you will be surprised,
like it's bigger than beanie babies!
Now, you will probably start seeing ads for those toys... OR BULK STYROFOAM at WHOLESALE PRICES.
[update: I now have 8 styrofoam salesmen following me on twitter.]

One way to become popular is to provide lots of value, over time.
People find what you wrote, book mark, pass it on, spread, subscribe,
and over time your traffic grows geometrically.

Another is jibber jabber about all the popular things!
Talk about whatever's popular today, like
michelle mcnair, sahel kazemi, steve mcnair shooting,
ricketts family, patrick cudahy fire,
smart technologies s.a., panic at the disco breaking up,
michael jackson memorial service, bordure cycling,
OH!!! link to DISNEY MONORAIL ACCIDENT VIDEO,
robert mcnamara, ola ray lawsuit, jenna bush wedding dress...
and the only one interesting: codex sinaiticus online.

The worst way is a parked domain, domain squatters, or the typo-buyers.
You've seen these--you click on some old link from
They are the lowest!
They should be taken out and shot. I'm sure they try to justify to themselves that they are somehow "adding value, " but I couldn't live with myself.
Why weren't we smart enought to think of that?
At least every moment you are reading my article
is a second you are not clicking on them.

I treat this in more detail in Taking Them Out and THen Shooting THem, Part II in pt.2
and how to crash these systems.

The object is to get your links on the first page.
But I like random links on page 10 or later.

So post your favorite links here, and I can post to you later!
extra webstim, share the juice, link affiliation, ...
this makes me realize i know too much about this to not be making money!

I was looking for a 2-liter bottle.

PS send money...
