The “Led-Met 3000 Feline-Lite”®, with “Dual Mind-Shield”® Technology

October 28, 2007

The tinfoil hat has long been the defense of choice when it comes to keeping out harmful government mind-control signals.

However, a recent MIT study established that tinfoil hats actually amplify frequency bands which happen to coincide with those allocated to the United States government between 1.2 G/Hz and 1.4 G/Hz. According to the FCC, these frequencies are reserved for ”radio location” (such as GPS), and other communications with satellites.

This discovery, which sent waves of panic through the tinfoil manufacturing and conspiracy theorist worlds, has in turn prompted many less mentally stable extremely reputable scientists to devote extensive time and resources to the development of an alternative cranial adornment, able to keep out even the most persistent of government signals.

Additionally, the commonly held belief that all cats are spies, either for the government or an extraterrestrial invasion force [opinions are still divided on this matter], has led to parallel R&D being carried out on a feline version.

Whilst a viable human model is still some way in the future, the research here at ‘IceGiant Laboratories‘® has now resulted in a piece of feline head wear which boasts the ability to not only interrupt communications between the cat and its shady masters, but also to dampen its natural telepathic abilities which can influence its owner and detect the opening of a can of cat food at up to three miles distance.

On the credibility of Spammers…

March 30, 2007

This blog is rapidly turning into a ’small time’ attempt to ridicule the tactics used by spammers and unethical SEOs; a case in point being an email which arrived in one of my boxes earlier today…

“Fill out your registration form. Please!!” (pertaining to a supposed mortgage application form)

Now, let’s for a moment assume I was actually looking for a mortgage or had filled in an application form with some lender or another… how would I assess the sender’s credibility?

For starters, the message originated from cosmology@punkass.com (my apologies about the return spam, and if it’s not your fault – sorry lads; you’ve been hacked ;-)… This would of course be that reputable lender ‘Punkass, Bitch and Associates of Philadelphia Ltd.‘, who are, as we all know, a universally trusted financial institution.

The Curse of Internet Article Spamshiners

March 4, 2007

Spammers have been called a carbuncle on the internet’s buttock. But are article spamshiners not merely making life difficult for themselves?

Back in early December I posted a rant about ‘How to get it wrong with Article Marketing‘ which illustrated the sad decline in the overall standards of articles posted on the web as they are becoming just another aspect of off-site SEO vulnerable to sp@mming.

Now, some three months later, I thought I’d post a follow-up, not only touching on article spamshiners and the long-term futility of their actions but also outlining the many benefits handling article marketing properly.

“Links! Links! Links! Links!*

*In all likelihood, Google will now pick up this post thinking it is a rant by German left-wing radicals… Sorry ;)

The past couple of years have seen an increasing trend to use articles as nothing more than a means of garnering inbound links for off-site SEO purposes.
Not only have the ‘bad grammar – nothing to say’ crowd jumped on the bandwagon by posting ‘automatically rewritten original’ (don’t get me started on that again) content; writers who are seemingly able to put together a coherent article are now starting to sp@m the various categories of article search engines with postings totally unrelated to the prevailing topic.
An example of what I’m talking about can be seen in an article posted at my favourite directory some time ago.
