Shocking but apparently true. Ripped from the tabloid headlines of BlackHat Planet. It’s the talk of Twitter. Here’s the inside scoop.

The post even says this is bogus:CORRECTION: Barry Schwartz DID NOT join Search Engine Journal.

Post title edited, lets keep it real and not start false rumors, cry wolf, or start unnecesary fire drills

That blackhat planet site scrapes the crap out of the Blizzard blog too I just did some research:Interestingly enough - they have a PR of 3 on their homepage.  Domain is registered to Dominic LaChance of Informuscorp.com.  Informuscorp.com comes up as a SEO company from canada.  Their homepage states: We use professional and ethical search engine optimization techniques to gain top search engine rankings for your business or organization. Hpefully blackhatplanet is a nasty joke and not how they "really" do business - but I’m not holding my breathHA - and they have a thing in their footer at informuscorp that says "page protected by COPYSCAPE DO NOT COPY"  WTF?

IMO, SEW Blog is no place to joke about things like that.

Agreed re: SEW blog.  Keep that for serious matters only. Take the sense of humor, if that’s what this is, out of the news if SEW is going to stay a serious site.

lame story, but maybe a link to search engine land might have changed my mind :)

Erm, this is just a list of corrections backtracking on the headline. Just a bunch of lies.

Simply bad reporting once more and I can’t believe they haven’t removed it. Tsk tsk SEW

SEW Blog is no place to joke about these things. It is not even April 1st.

I’m joining in the desphinn as it could have been put off as a joke but was too mean demanding apologies, bad form.

Correction, correction correction, exclusive, update....not quite sure what the point is.

Desphunn, because I’m curious to see if a post can get negative sphinns...this one deserves it.
