Not Getting Top SERPS? - Maybe The Problem is You?

I used to go out with a very beautiful (externally) girl at University who was studying Psychology.

So, when you've been stripped naked and wired up all over your body and attached to GSR and neural and body rhythmic Lie Detectors and then asked all sorts of personal embarrassing questions........

Hey! Bring on the waterboarding!! I can do that!

I'm the sort of person who can't resist a challenge, especially when it pits me against other human beings or their poor imitations - computers!

I will sit down and actually enjoy doing cognitive tests or even Test the Nation on a Saturday night - when I'm pissed and still score 165.

So this morning when I got an email from Jarom Adair (Internet Marketer), who I quite respect, I very nearly didn't take the challenge as he mentioned that nasty phrase Meyers-Briggs.

For those of you who don't know - they devised a test meant to define peoples abilities in the workplace - they are bullshit and are so easy to manipulate (unlike the galvonic skin response) that it is quite frankly outrageous that the HR departments of Large Businesses use these methods to profile their workforces.

Anyway as I am always getting told I'm my own worst enemy I thought I'd have a look to see if these things have improved at all....

And quite frankly the answer is a big resounding NO!

Take the Self Awareness Test yourself - no strings though it looks like they want to sell you bullshit psycho babble - sorry - coaching!!

Here's my results (Are yours the same?)

Bear In mind that the two facets of my character that I value most are my Integrity and my Analytical abilities....



Notice how I'm not very coachable! Well he would say that .......

Are you reds the same as mine? let me know!

In the words of Catherine Tate's TV Granny " Wot a load of effing Bull!"

On my way to the forum I passed through the valley of the shadow of Deadheads!

When I'm bored, which is very rare as I am so busy, I go and visit the SEO forums...

Like all Web 2.0 properties I have various sign ons and personas depending upon which specific subject I'm commenting on. Sometimes I even forget who I am!

Comment spam certainly works and if you follow my previous posts on the matter, you'll be shown some succesful ways of doing this for commercial keywords.

Personally I can't be bothered - which is why larger SEO companies outsource this labourious task to third world countries (whoops aren't they called emerging these days?).

No, the reason I really visit the SEO forums in particular is to wind up the perennial posters and so called SEO experts who spend their days talking about webmaster guidelines that waste their time (and everybody else's); by vehemently disagreeing with some of the rubbish they post.
By 'Wind Up', I mean I like to use various techniques to initiate a response, one of which uses the NLP technique of reframing the original problem. This invariably enflames the forumophiles....
Certain of these forums have these Kudos buttons that the long term bullshitters take pride in accumulating self-appointed 'points'.

Here is a truth

I have never learnt one constructive fact from any SEO forum that has helped me in monetarising my network!. These people that post a million times to forums cannot by time default alone, be running succesful internet marketing businesses.... they are your daytime TV metalities!

By all means get as many free backlinks from 'on-theme forums' as you can, but I'd advise you not to look at forums for answers, especially to accept advice from so called 'veterans', an example of which is the 'WebProWorld 1,000+ Club'......



........ These people are all shouting from the towers of Babel in their own sad 'huis clos'!

Don't waste your time!
