Search & Social Media Survival Guide

As we all know all SEO is bullshit, evil and spam. So as a SEO 2.0 evangelist I recently thought about some black hat SEO 2.0 methods for an increasingly mad world.

Of course all the 7 completely insane black hat SEO 2.0 methods here are totally crazy, unlawful and will make George Bush annihiliate your block as an “Al Qaeda stronghold” so use them at your own risk.

  1. Sell ad space on your behind especially if you are a sexy blogging geek model
  2. Make up a completely crazy story and make all the major global media report it
  3. Give away your a-list blog for free and go to the woods
  4. Provoke a spontaneous human self-combustion of yourself and put it on YouTube
  5. Sue Google!
  6. Stalk Paris Hilton and then let her bodyguards beat you up in front of cameras
  7. Take a cow on a flight with a helicopter and then throw it down

Btw. did I tell you that at least four of these SEO 2.0 publicity stunts have been successfully tried already, two of them recently? Can you guess which ones of these?

    I would suggest:

    8. Make your best friend totally drunk, do nr.1 and then let him do nr. 5 and 6, so that nr. 2 happens….

    Perhaps I could talk my boss into spontaneous combustion!

    All good (yet) crazy media grabbing ideas.

    #2 was tried by Lyndon Antcliff very recently and did that story ever go viral:

    #1, 2, 3 and 5, I believe. I know that #1 is at least being tried out, and #3 I think just happened. #2 sounds like it happened. I certainly hope it’s not #7.

    Resent Trends shows just what you mentioned..what about number (4) rule?? can you explain it in detail?

    jonson: I’m afraid #7 was performed in 2001 as an “art” publicity stunt:

    sunnydhabhai: #4 is partly satire partly taken from a movie where a writer sets himself on fire to gain publicity for a new book. Basically it’s about doing something completely crazy to gain attention. Simple self-immolation or burning yourself does not work anymore, as this anti-war protest shows:

    Of course this post is satirical so I do not encourage anybody to do that.
    You can do something crazy without harming yourself or others.

    I am going to sue google for de-indexing all of my ebay stores – then maybe they will get traffic again :)

Please mind the commenting netiquette, most notably:

  • A "name" is a real name or nick name, not a keyword! SEO Company is wrong. John Doe of Google is OK.
  • For the "website" URL: No deep links allowed unless it's your "about" page.
  • No extra signature allowed, one "website" link is enough.
  • No bot-like "Thank you" comments with no context or added value to the post.
