Make that over 100 Links now. Btw. The Trick only works if you already have a well known blog. In another part of the industry I might add. It would be suicide (and completely stupid) if you have a SEO blog

I am a big fan of the shoemoney blog, but to be honest I think this post is a bit unfair. I dont think he is playing anyone, I just think he is speaking his mind. Besides, I think most of the people in the SEO industry would have known of him long before those comments. The sale of weblogsinc to AOL, pretty much made him a household name in the web industry, even though I know he was popular before that.

Dude can squeeze lemonade out of a rock. All the free publicity and even a free consulting gig from Neil? More power to him.

He may have got a ton of links but he’s made a lot of enemies not exactly usefull in his new VC job he needs to learn some social skills (or is he just the lad that fetches the tea)

Well I could go to your house and shit on your doorstep and probably get some attention, but I don’t think I’d want to be known as “the guy who shit on Shoemoney’s doorstep just to get attention”.

I guess I should start cut my own hair, cause my hairdresser always gets in wrong. Oh, by the way, I think this whole world is full of salesmen, I think I’ll stop buying anything from now on. He makes perfect sense.

You could critize all insurance agents too, but is it really worth hurting people’s feelings for personal gain

hey dont be givin people ideas ………

over 120 links, wow you are right, this guy really knows how to play the game! SMART!

What a great idea! Shoemoney, you suck, Your mom sucks, your sister sucks, your car sucks, your websites suck, your vacuum blows, your hair sucks, your ringtones suck, your wife… well she’s nice so I’ll leave her out of this, your clothes suck and your breath smells.

Calacanis might be attention but it might not be good for him. I dont agree with any attention is good attention. I think SEOs are smart too - they’ll give him links, but with a negative anchor test or a link condom.

I like Jason but I do think he has a habit of overstating his case. If he wants to make an assertion such as “90 percent of SEOers are snake oil salesmen,” that’s fine, but I’d like to see the data behind this conclusion.

Anyone want to lay odds on someone starting a retributive campaign to displace the search term “Jason Calcanis” from Google SERPs?

With all due respect, for those of us who’ve had a liquidity event or two, JC comes off like a classless, spineless, unimpressive dick. You can be Terrell Owens or you can be Jerry Rice in this world and JC is leaning a lot more towards fake suicide attention whoring side of things than he is towards the Hall of Fame side of things.

[...] doesn�t make them an SEO pro, something that people make a mistake on. Have you read Shoemoneys post on this whole topic? It�s actually funny because as I said Shoe knows how to play the SEO industry at their own game, [...]

He’s still an asshole no matter what he does
