I'm an internet marketing consultant and I love it. I do internet advertising
consulting, affiliate marketing, search
engine optimization, pay-per-click management, text link purchases
and oh so much more. This is my attempt at documenting some of what
goes on in the wonderful world of Internet marketing with a bit of humor
and sarcasm Yes, I am available to do internet marketing consulting
with you on your website, NO I will not fix your computer (sorry, I'd
probably do it more damage anyhow...run spyware
S & D). I spend near obsessive amounts of time on Webmasterworld.com,
and Threadwatch.org , as well
as many of the other great internet marketing forums and sites. Thanks
to all the giants whose shoulders I've stood upon to see what's goin'
on in the wonderful world of internet marketing. I'm lovin' the view.
I am also a moderator for the Professional
Webmaster Business Issues Forum. Drop by and offer some of your
web biz insight. You TOO can be an internet marketing consultant!
Special Thanks:

Google's Battle Against Fraudalent Clicks - Inexpensive Outsourced Indian Clicking Labor and Clickbots
This is a pretty good article about the problems of clickfraud. I use PPC as an advertiser and have been quite happy with it on many occassions. This is obviously an issue that will only gain momentum, but is trying to be kept somewhat quiet by most all the parties involved because exposure of this problem hurts those buying (often Internet marketing media buyers) and sellers (G and O). I guess if the exposure continues to escalate, the SE's will start to lose out, but SEO's will be in even hotter demand. Maybe I should be studying algorithms.Joe, the chief executive of an Internet marketing company, enjoys clicking on his rivals' text ads on Google and Yahoo because his competitor must pay as much as $15 each time he does it. Eventually, such phantom clicks can add up and drain a rival's budget.
