Just in time for Christmas – The Arbitrage Conspiracy is top on Homer’s Santa List.
It’s hardly surprising because he has no doubt received promotion after promotion over the last week or so.
Just like the latest toy promoted and adverised everywhere you look- you can’t open your email client without someone pushing [...]
Internet Marketer Prison Sentences
Monday, October 13th, 2008The headline read “Internet Marketer Responsible For Prison Sentences”
In an unprecedented move the courts today sentenced thousands of unsuspecting “would be” internet marketers to anything from a £1,000 (say $2,000) fine to 5 years in jail for deception.
Despite their pleas of “we had no idea what we were doing was wrong” the judge, looking solemn [...]

Thursday, September 4th, 2008Homer is hopping mad!
I’ve never, ever seen him so agitated. In fact I’ve never seen him act so quickly about anything.

Homer actually called me today.
He is starting to trouble me. At some deep level some of the things I’ve been saying seem to be getting through.
Maybe he is not destined to stay guru fodder for ever!
He told me he was confused. Which one of the 10 links to join Stompernet should he use.
“Why [...]

Homer Wants An Ice-Cream
Sitting at his PC, adorned as always in his perfectly ironed pseudo satin pajamas, Homer heard the distant chimes of the Ice Cream Man’s Van.

Homer has been very quiet for the past week or two.
I thought maybe he’d found “the light” and settled down to get on with building his business.
I should have known better!

Too young to remember the 60s? Maybe but I’m sure you will have heard My Generation and Substitute by The Who.
The “leader” of the band was Pete Townsend. I was amazed to hear him say that Roger Daltrey’s singing on the early songs, including My Generation, was lacking. To this day, having heard [...]

Why Trackbacks Get You More Links
Friday, April 18th, 2008For about a year I’ve been looking for a good explanation and video about trackbacks and exactly how they work.
I’ve seen half hearted – “add a comment and you’ll get a trackback” type of explanations but until this week nothing that comes anywhere near close to a proper explanation.
Now I have two. Randy at Marketing [...]
