Blackhat SEO Redux, Yahoo Google talk, Yoast Launch and more – ShoeMoney Show

by Jeremy Schoemaker on June 20, 2008 · 55 comments

We first tried the show at the regular time on Tuesday but ran into some issues with Blogtv. Soon after I got a call from Ustream CEO Brad Hunstable who also happens to be a huge MMA fan! We talked about MMA stuff and then he sent me instructions on how to do picture in picture video. Works pretty good. The bandwidth at our office was only 512kbps upstream but we have doubled that for next weeks show.

Live Videos provided by Ustream.TV

Items discussed in this weeks show.

Yahoo losing people but not rehiring

Perception of blackhat SEO

Seomoz SMX Training vs SES San Jose

Yahoo/Google deal – advertisers and ad coverage

eBay cashback with live search

Joost launch Yoast.com – also talk about his seo wordpress guide which is pretty good

Market leverage contests – Jonathan Volk has the full list here

Obligatory twitter talk: Twitter blacklist

blackhat seo is the only kind of seo you should ever do

One should note: Black is composed of all the colors. So in a way, blackhat is compromised of many colors.

Tried again, wasn’t working behind the proxy server. Still seems like it’s a bit taxed with the buffering.

The biggest thing that I’ve seen out of Yahoo was Yahoo Answers. They have a lot of their posts rank #1 for long keyword phrases. If you remember Google Answers actually failed miserably.

Is your show on a regular schedule?

Can we get an email or a twitter reminder when it is about to go on?

Thanks

Shoe, where is the cape? A nice blue or white silk cape would look good on you. What do you think?

15 SlightlyShadySEO June 20, 2008 at 5:16 pm

I don’t suppose you have any reason for that statement? It’s dumb to put a lot of work into a site then promote it with obvious blackhat, I’ll admit. But so long as you either factor getting banned into your business model or use proper stealth(which does exist), it’s an entirely workable thing.

I’m not a fan of Jen. She seems like a really nice girl and stuff, but her personality isn’t strong enough to hold up a show with Shoe. She’s too appeasing and comes across like she doesn’t even know how to spell business, much less talk about it. Have her go balls to the wall next time or get someone who won’t kiss your ass. Then you’ll have a real show.

I believe the area you’re looking into is “grey hat”. Something Shoe himself willingly admits to dabbling in.

Why is it that the “bad” seo is called BLACK hat and the “good” seo is called WHITE hat. Even SEO is racist! :)

There’s Blue hat, Red hat and Black hat SEO sites if you care to look for them. Some guys give pretty good tips for the websites on them.

The video worked pretty good for me after it was started. It was only using like 230kbps or so which is not bad. That helps people with even a slow dsl connection to be able to play it.

The intro was pretty funny. I think a nice blue cape would work well.

AFAIK the series of novels this is founded on is yet pending (on hiatus?), so when the anime ended short, it was rumoured that if and when the novels get concluded, there might be more. Of course quite a bit of time has went since then, so it might be wishful thinking at this point… I would enjoy it, though.
