yup, i gave the thumbs down stumbleupon review of you lyndon but it wasn't a 'hoax'. unlike some people, i care about the realtionships i have with them. su has hated seos and marketers to the point of criminal terroristic gang-like action towards them. your tactics are hated by a large amount of stalkers and abusers. ask the feds. they have to spend gov money to enter into it just to have them removed..thanks lyndon. you're a champ.
by the way..will someone email the article to me? i refuse to give them the traffic. dont know if this is a 'hoax' to save face. hmmm, if you think about it, lyndon is dying to tell someone the real truth so he can revel in that too.
nick, first of all, imorgen gave her review 4 months ago..
her review was far BEFORE this latest drama and is irrelevant..yesterday is yesterday..today is a new day. even i followed lyndon around before this. now i do not. not a big loss to him..but it has been growth for me.
watching all the support he has received from those whos reputations were also in the spotlight has taught me that i need to be more choosy about where my trust goes. because people
around these parts will chew you up & spit you out, the same as the attackers in SU..and seem to be proud of themsleves for that.
i guess i just dont have that sourness in me. (when its undeserved)
i use SU the way it is intended. i give thumbs up when its called for and thumbs down when its called for. its not my fault that they have been manipulated by him to think he's not the type of SEO that they talk poorly of and attack.
he's obviously proven his ability to deceive..i think there may have been some manipulation on his part to keep the attack dogs at bay for himself. behind the scenes..which is where he best does his dirty work and brags about that too.
e.g. "future work will be done underground"..
they attack people that dont deserve it and support the people that DO ask for it..same as here in sphinn...same as too many places online, which isnt my fault either. change is worth the fight. the floor has belonged to a bunch of bully's.
even you guys would be a 'meal' to him if theres more gain from screwing you over to move to the next level..
must this also be a beating from YOU? touche'..
there's no "glass house" here..we reside in two different houses.
one last thing.. the mindset applies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P01ZxSb3SZM
submitter has online theft problems. i do not trust going to his site, much less reading his content.
if google decides to make positive changes, even if they had previously been guilty of things themselves, that postive change is growth. change is good.
RedEvo, "you wouldn’t call a mechanic a car engine optimiser just because be puts oil and water in the respective orifices. Putting oil and water in is a given just as constructing a web page correctly should be."
good one. :-)
othelisa, i wasn't being argumentative.
"I was more talking about any loss of crediblity sites may receive if they become known for promoting/creating "false" news stories."
it becomes known by way of media attention e.g. blogging, etc... you basically repeated what i said. if those sites are spanked, and he is responsible for that, his rep is affected as well.
"If people want to "trick" users, then they'll suffer the consequences on their own."
consequences? suffering? what kind of suffering has come from all the votes praise and support that lyndon has received? are you referring to the exposure of what he has done that got blogged about repeatedly? this is the only way i see any penalties coming his way. other than the suffering and consequences we ALL have yet to receive as a result of his 'hoax' (word too pretty).
"The big problem was not so much Lyndon's article as the readiness of the media to embrace it"
yup, that is most detrimental. it spreads like disease. just look at our SM followers..some SMers have hundreds or thousands of people ready to jump when they say 'how high'.
its like the movie 'i am legend'..in a hurry to grab kudos, corners were cut and yes, a miracle drug was created that cured cancer. every patient that was given the drug, on a 1 for 1 ratio, was cured completely of cancer. the problem was, the creaters of this miracle cure found that the side effects caused every one of those given the drug, to morph into this ungodly unfathomable beast that ravaged and ate everyone and everything of flesh that they could get their hands on.
within 3 years time, only a small community of normal people managed to survive..the world as was once known..had been lost.
it may sound 'sensasionalized' and of course, it is not an actual real life experience. but is similar in concept.
marketers are already viewed by many as 'hungry' enough for greed, why add insult to injury?
i cant believe how many links you dropped! sheesh..nice job. thanks for the link love. :-)

hmm, are there any more people here that support using social media for disaster relief?
"It is critical to understand the types of messages that your competitors are using. Are they doing a good job of attracting users? Do they qualify their audience? The more insight you can gain on what they are doing in this area, the better positioned you will be to take advantage of opportunities to stand out from them."
sweet.

since you are under criminal investigation in another country, as well as being a known thief in entrecard, i do not trust your sites content and or services. (i will not have interaction with this any further on this post. no flame wars)

BrentCsutoras, it all depends on how well the time is spent. if you begged borrowed and stole for 5 grand yet it returned 20, it was not costly..it was profitable.
