What did he do in 2012? Let me guess… instead of doing SEO,he’s doing PPC facebook ads.. and he didn’t make $4 million.. more like he’s never done SEO, ever.

I thought truth in advertising was supposed to apply to facebook ads.

He is mostly black, with a visible WHITE marking on his chest.

He was spooked and ran away from his home on San Jose Willow Gren area. He was last seen going North on Meridian.

He has in DIRE medical need and needs his shots.

His name is Cocoa. Friendly & will respond to his name.

He is mostly black with some white markings on his chest.

Update: Cocoa has been found

My readers/subscribers for a website I operate, a site for funny pet pictures, emailed in saying that the site is “malicious” … why? My guess is that i have ADS on them.

Yes, according to these idiots

1. Ads are evil.  (That’s why these morons bid on the word “online security software” on Google Adwords.)
2. I am the only one who has ADS on my website in the history of the entire WEB

DOLTS.

So I called in to get my this shit fixed and of course, who do I get? A call center who automatically assumes I’m a tech turd.

“I want you to type this in your browser for me. h-t-t-p colon forward slash forward slash ….”

*sigh*

This is insanely f*cked up. Their shitty product/service is causing ME financial harm, yet they make me jump through hoops and hurdles to convince THOSE mother f*ckers what I’ve done isn’t wrong.

Is your site black listed?

Follow these steps

1. Go to their stupid reclassification request form: http://reclassify.url.trendmicro.com/
2. Fill out your URL. It will come back as saying evil and that you should lick their balls.
3. Click on “Feedback”. Enter your info on the next page. Submit.
4. Call their turd call center. I dialed 800-228-5651. Option 3.
5. Give them hell. Tell them they should lick YOUR balls instead.

Business is harder.

Sometimes I feel like I get beaten down by both so much, that I am not certain how much more I can tolerate before I call it quits.

Personal development is nice… motivational speakers are nice to get you fired up once in a while..

But how much can you take before you call it quits?

Or do you quit?

*sigh*

I noticed this Facebook event (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=257445880943494)

Being the cynical man that I am, i took a look at the URL redirect.

Where does it go?

And what’s on the website?
Yeap.. a HIGH paying adsense ad for insurance (as adsense publisher, i think u can get anywhere between $10-30 a click)

Let’s do the math.

7000+ people fell for this.. which means 7000+ clicks… which means $10-30 per click x 7000 = minimum, well over $70k -$210k in adsense fraud.

Enjoy. OH yeah, click on my ads. Thanks.
