Latest Snake Oil E-Mail

[thataway61]

Looking for any Snake Oil? From todays e-mail:

O.K., I was going to blast an e-mail I got from www . pickyourrealtor . com and then went to their site and ended up buying 600 bucks worth of pixels.

I thought their initial e-mail was to some site promising ranking and traffic.

Anyway, it will be interesting to watch.

Ironic that I posted the buy a pixel fundraiser message that is similar to this site yesterday. Duh, why didn't I think of this????

Cal,
Would you mind removing the live link to that site?
Thanks in advance.

Done Kyle!

Don't really understand when it is ok and when not.

But hey go click on my pixels in North GA and South AL!

aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Why didn't I think of that?

I know what you mean!

I bought 6 blocks, so instead of being the bright mind with the million bucks, maybe I will get lots of clicks instead.

I guess there will be some Page Rank benefit for a while, it is PR 3 on the useless browser thingy and I have 6 links from it. Maybe it will go to a PR 7 like the million dollar page!

These sites are obvious backlink sales and nothing more, I would assume that Google will slap a PR passon ban to any site doing this, so there is no benefit from a backlink perspective. Besides they dont provide a real link to your site, its run through a redirect script.

OMG! I gotta build one of these! hehe

Looking at the domain name, I'm sure that site (under that domain) won't be around too long.

Hmmm, my post didn't appear. I'll start again. We have a forum member doing something similar but for the world (virtualworldrealestate.com). However, the site Cal mentions looks more like The Million Dollar Home Page. That's the one I would have liked to purchase pixels on. Reading his blog was fun because he was just as surprised as everyone else that he was able to make over a million dollars in less than a year. That was the original site that started this concept.

I like the look of the 10 million page best!
