“Online retailer Bigreds.com is suing Yahoo Inc.
for $1 million, alleging that it was overcharged nearly that amount
because it was the victim of click fraud, according to court documents.”

Depending on the outcome, this case could have far-reaching implications. It is my belief click fraud is still rampant and something needs to be done to get it under control.

Agree, disagree??

Someone just shot me the link to this vid. I am not much into rap but I thought this one was great. m0serious has a number of them up on YooToob.

Peace out.

“It seems likely that a law requiring online retailers to collect sales tax on all items delivered to residents of New York will be approved, causing a potential e-commerce headache.”

I have posted about this a few times. This is just one step closer.

I am sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight home and I thought I would tell you about the great weekend I just had attending StomperNet Live Five. StomperNet has been, and continues to be, the 1000 pound gorilla when it comes to learning SEO and Internet Marketing. If you want to learn REAL SEO skills and Internet Marketing, StomperNet is the place to learn it.

Our company has been involved with StomperNet since well before it was called StomperNet. Back when it was just Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins, it was called The Apprentice Program. Since joining the “Apprentice” program way back when, we have not spent a single dollar on ANY other SEO program. We haven’t spent money on other programs because we haven’t needed to. Our revenues have grown a minimum of 50% every year since we have been involved. Last year we were up 75+% and for the first quarter of 2008 our run rate is nearly 80% over 2007. Pretty effective, huh? I’d say. And those number$ are from entirely organic search results not PPC. Have you been that successful on your own?????

So, the bottom line is if you want to grow your business join Stompernet when you can. I have heard they may be opening the doors for a short amount of time within the next few months. It isn’t cheap but, the return on investment can be staggering.

So what did I do this weekend? I listened to and learned from the best of the best. These folks aren’t just speakers at the SN Live events, they are StomperNet Faculty. An added bonus? NO PITCHING FROM THE STAGE!

The list is a who’s who of SEO and Internet Marketing:
(in no particular order)

• Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon
• Dave Taylor (if your looking for Free Tech Support, Dave’s got you covered)
• Sherman Hu (blogging, podcasting, videocasting, social media)
• Dan Theis (Keyword research, SEO consulting)
• Leslie Rhode (pioneered link reputation analysis)
• Andy Edmonds (Ex Microsoftie and serious propellerhead)
• Don Crowther
• Bill Crowther
• Howie Schwartz (New Faculty Member)
• Mike Stewart (New Faculty Member)
• Mike Koenigs (New Faculty Member)
• Paul Colligan (New Faculty Member)
• Shawn Casey (New Faculty Member)

That is all the people I can remember at the moment… A huge amount of new material and programs were announced during the event. Many of these will go live on April 15th. The cost for all these new faculty and programs? Zip, zero, nada. All included in the price.

So, why haven’t you joined Stompernet?

“For thousands of years, the human race has spread out across the Earth, scaling mountains and plying the oceans, planting crops and building highways, raising skyscrapers and atmospheric CO2 levels, and observing, with tremendous and unflagging enthusiasm, the Biblical injunction to be fruitful and multiply across our world’s every last nook, cranny and subdivision.”

Man these people are incredibly forward thinking. The cool thing is they always release their best products and ideas on April 1st. I have already signed up everybody in our household! You should too!!
