Content Stalking, It is back firing!!

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:02:00 +0000

There are a few people in the automotive digital marketing space who love to stalk my content. Some even go as far as to start hate blogs targeted at me. The good thing is I have a good idea who created the hate blog and the authorities will probably sort it out. As far as the cowards who take the time to email links to everything I have ever published, I thank them. They have elevated themselves to outcast in the eyes of many and have given me tons of traffic. They are too stupid to realize that at the end of the day traffic is everything and the links from their hate blog only push my content up further in the SERPs. Once again thank you!!

Their flawed product and stolen ideas have as much chance of surviving long term as a member of the Kennedy family getting back in office in my lifetime. Remote but doubtful. It has more problems that a poor name.

These are the same people that criticize me using backdoor techniques to try to cause me trouble for converting pages that I used for personal branding when I worked for Carl Gregory Hyundai over to affiliate marketing. When their products only real monetization is adsense and lead affiliates. Exactly how I am profiting from the page(s) I converted. I guess what is good for one is not good for another.

Something else that is comical is that someone who claims to be a master of something, not quite figured out what yet unless you count being a blow hard, could not keep his word if his life depended on it. He took the time to also email links around the world to my former employer and others. After we stuck a gentleman's agreement to let sleeping dogs lie after he attempted to entrap me in a phone conversation. No matter how much he can bench press it still does not make him a man.

What is cool one of my rss subscribers dugg my original rant about this and it will probably catch some steam there too. I posted it at my blog about Personal Search Engine Reputation Management.

This is my space I open it for the public to see. If you don't like what you see here stay the hell away. Spend your time trying to build your business if you want to get back at me, because how it stands you are helping build mine.

Nothing to fear - Blow hards just blow

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 04:40:00 +0000

People like to threaten and blow when their feelings get hurt for being idiots. Usually it is just a defense mechanism when they screw up. I recently have been through a situation that I would have probably handled differently. Sure I made mistakes but sometimes you just let bygones be bygones. However some people are just insistent on trying to take as many cheap shots as they possibly can.

Outsourcing Car Dealership Marketing versus doing it inhouse

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 22:21:00 +0000

A debate going on about weather or not empowering people to learn to do these things their self as a car dealership employee or have a consultant come take care of these things for the store. It seem the consultants in this niche rather keep people in charge of internet marketing a business in the dark versus giving them knowledge.My opinion is to educate the people who are responsible for marketing the dealership. If that is done via a consultant that is ok. However to have consultants hold a dealership hostage with knowledge is crazy...

Automotive Microsites - Don't Pay to Much

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Wed, 14 May 2008 20:57:00 +0000

Overpaying for a dealer microsite forces car dealers to charge their consumers more to buy cars. Be careful before you over pay for a dealer microsite. While I am getting fairly good at making squidoo lenses and using them as a micro site you never have enough properties in your portfolio if you are going to market anything online.

Well we all know that the Clinton's cannot keep their stories straight and now Hilliary is claiming to have dodged bullets then doing the typical Clinton back peddle when confronted about her lie. I guess she doesn't know what the definition of is is either. Is it the truth or is it a complete fabrication? This one does not even qualify to be written off as a simple mistake!!

Incredible lapse in security at Obama rally!

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:54:00 +0000

Not so sure if it really matters. Obama is more than likely our next president. If not he will be the independent that keeps the Republicans in power. He is charismatic and identifies better with the people than any of the candidates out there. As a life long conservative the older I get the more moderate my beliefs become. I am not so sure that our nation is ready for a leader like Obama and if the GOP does not get off their ass and start their march he is the evident contender.

In our volatile political environment with the upcoming elections, an unpopular war, rising fuel prices and turbulent economy you would think that local government would encourage such activities as displaying our National Symbol of Patriotism, the Flag of the United States of America. Well that is not the case in Glynn County Georgia.It is amazing that even the politicians in the area are defending this.

IDENTITY THEFT IS ON THE RISE AND UNKOWN CALLS MAY BE THE FIRST SIGN

noreply@blogger.com (Paul Rushing) — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:14:00 +0000

Even people being called from collection agencies with less than perfect credit have concerns if their Identity is stolen. Many times people who take jobs as collection agents do so because they have washed out from other careers or even just got out of prison. They can use the information they have in their hands to open bank accounts, get drivers license and commit crimes in your name. So bad credit does not insulate you from becoming a victim of identity theft.
