What is a parasite?

Categories:

Have you ever noticed links on a webpage that didn’t seem to fit the context of the article or content style?

E.g.

My wife and I paid for last nights dinner with our Amex because we didn’t have any cash…

If anchored text doesn’t fit the context of the copy, then you probably have parasites on your computer.

The term “parasite” refers to technology (including browser plug ins, helpers, toolbars, popups, etc.) that intercepts and changes an affiliate’s link. This technology is also known as “unsolicited commercial software” and is often found in Adware and Spyware software. Parasite activity essentially “hijacks” the affiliates link and the affiliate commission gets redirected to the parasite, instead of the affiliate who rightfully earned it. This type of software is normally installed unknowingly, often without the end user’s consent.

You can normally remove parasites with a good ad-ware removal software.

Google’s Secret Sauce

Categories:

Google’s Secret Sauce is much like the search for UFO’s. You know they exist but you just can’t prove it. And those who can prove it can’t say anything because they would come across as being crazy. Google is much like the secret government with their secret projects. A little misdirection can go a long way.

G-Bombs are cool. (Or should I say were cool) If you get a million links with the same anchor text pointing to the same place, then BOOM! The only problem is it can be countered easily and in the end produces nothing of real value. It’s SEO masturbation.

People like Fishkin, would never utter there secret techniques for fear of becoming obsolete. Plus, most people reading that article aren’t really interested in ranking high in the natural SERPS but more so interested in reading about cracking Google’s secret algorithm.

I’m sure this will sound crazy, but UFO’s may not have anything to do with aliens. On the same token, ranking high in G (or any engine) has nothing or very little to do with cracking G’s algorithm(s). (Get a str8-jacket and the rubber room ready, he’s gone insane!) lol!
