Marketing Conspiracy
By peace | July 6, 2007
It all seems more like a conspiracy now than mere coincidence. Take a look at this:
The website is very long and I have broken it down into three parts. The upper parts says this:
Quoted From Dolmere Talamasca at http://www.lovelymachine.com/Dolmere/2007/06/traffic_slightly_increased_sl_settings_rant.html
The headline: Traffic Slightly Increased + SL Settings Rant
AdSense
Traffic here on the blog has spiked a little bit lately. This would be due to my participation in the fake gubernatorial elections as much as the ongoing howto series on making Cylindrian’s new tip sign.
Some of you have taken a few moments to click through my sponsor’s advertisements and I thank you for your interest and support. How have the advertisements, provided by Google AdSense, been helping you? I’m curious if they manage to stay on target for the material you are here perusing.
(Preferences rant with screen shots below the fold)
I think I’ve seen mostly political messaging on the front page where the gubernatorial race is heating up. I’ve also seen specific advertising for keywords in the how to articles and I’m wondering if you’re all finding that useful.
He had been condemning Sltopsites ever since Vint Falken said so. Before that, this was what he says all about sltopsites and his google adsense.
This is from the same page, but lowering portion of his webpage, on what he wrote about SLTopsites:
SLTopSites
Oh, I also went ahead and signed my blog up at http://www.sltopsites.com/. At the moment, surely it won’t last long once people start really adding themselves in, I’m at the top by pageviews. I’ll relish the moment while it lasts.
You can click the tiny SL Topsite button on this page under the AdSense adverts to see their site and even cast a vote for me (not sure if voting is needed, I don’t fully understand how the thing works really.)
I’m currently #10 for “out” which I think means number of clicks from sltopsites TO my website. I’m currently #20 for “in” which I think means clicks FROM my website to sltopsites – like click the cute button on the right hands side of this window would do.
The site also has an interesting stats page for each website listing that provide some more detail.
Overall it’s been an interesting thing to participate in, even if it ultimately just points out how isolated my corner of the interwebtubes is.
This was written on 10 June 2007. And now on 3 July 2007 he is having second thoughts and regret everything as what he had said. But yet he is still holding on to the ranking and having google ads. See my post about his post on 3 July 2007. There is no need for me to say more. The audience, the reader you yourself can be the judge.
And now latest on 5 July 2007, yet another post about SLTopsites. How can people become famous? How celebrity reach their fame? Creating NEWS. This is taking the opportunity to increase traffic and popularity at the expense of other people. Don’t you see the conspiracy? I do not need to say more. Go to their page, observe carefully, read their lines and you can see that. Sure, go to their page, that is what they want, to be famous, this is what I see it. If not to be famous, rather to have more traffic, more popularity.
Well, this is perfectly normal. Everybody wants to win in any race, in any competition. Everybody want to be the top and wants to be well-known. But do you want to do so at the expense of others? And for saying so much still refusing to let go of the buttons and the ads himself. Ask people to vote for you? Why? You also want traffic. So sltopsites also want visitors. Otherwise how people know? If people don’t know about his websites, how people know of your website?
This is a social networking world. Nobody is an island. How much does a link cost? How much does it takes for you to say something good about something? Do you gain any benefits from telling people all the bad points about your own company when you are working in your own company? These are goats wearing false cloak. I do not need to make myself very clear. Everybody has their own way of managing their business, their website, their own properties. Whether they are doing it Your Way a not, your purpose of listing your website is to increase traffic. Why border so much when you can put ads and the owner of sltopsites cannot put ads? Please put yourself in other people’s shoes, and be fair to everybody. Just tell me which blog directories or web directories do not have google adsense? Blogtopsites, blograter, blogrankers, blogflare, and many more all have google adsense. What if those that do not have, they are only a minority. I have not come across any blog directories or web directories which do not have any google adsense or sponsored ads. Tell me which website you come across do not have google adsense nowadays, not to mention only directories? There are not all who sign up google adsense. There are some who sign up and got suspended. All website have their own values and their uniqueness. If they have no purpose to serve you, would you sign up in the very first day?
Focus on the good of things and everybody can be happy. ‘Blowing the feathers, searching for thorns and bones’ can only make people miserable and unhappy. We have not much to gain too.

[...] Just a side note about Marketing Conspiracy. Do you know that a person can sign up as many user name and create as many avatar as he or she wanted to? It is not uncommon. I know of many people doing that. The obvious ones which I hate is Armeda Sabena. How many accounts she has and how many times she came to ‘talk’ to me with various avatar, she knows. How many times she uses different avatar to talk to Richard and threaten him, she knows, I know. Even after the case is reported, she still has the CHEEK to approach Richard Palace again. What sort of woman is she? This type of woman, does not deserve my respect. She is downright despicable and I will never forget what she did to me and showed me. Time will never heal this types of wounds. Time will left scars over this types of wounds. [...]
