I know people who used tricks like this and some clickjacking on the share button to get 1 million+ person fan pages. Many of them were seized, but for a while it was easy.

The problem with apps is having to download them. HTML5 is way better for applications that have single time use or where you want an interaction as quickly as possible.

Blackhat internet marketing is all about automation, taking what works with one account and then doing it with hundreds or thousands...If you can make a dollar doing something, then automate it and do it 1000 times...

I'm from the IM community and $1000 a day is not unheard of, but most of the other people using pinterest are not making this much, especially since they stopped sending all pins to the front page (now only 1 per hour or so). The traffic co

It is definitely not moderated, I've had multiple plugins inject ads into my web browsing. One was a Facebook app to enlarge photos and it started adding these banners to the sides of facebook. I though it was Facebook using a new form of a

Sometimes it's hard to value the investment for ROI, especially in terms of perception as you mentioned above. The fact is though, social proof is an element of popularity and so people will continue to game social elements like that.

You have to watch out, a lot of websites out there that sell views are really just resellers. You have to find the site that is provided to all of them...From what I hear, youtube has been cracking down on their methods pretty well, but the

That's possible as well, but they still would have had to drive traffic to those pages, and again, ads would be too expensive. I had a client who requested that the people be real, and so instead of bot views that normal providers used, I f

What is unethical about that? The video was going to get views anyway, I was just helping it out. It's like the snowball effect that would occur naturally, except they start with a bigger snowball. I don't do this stuff anymore though, that

All that guy needs is to spend his money on some serious Reputation Management instead of lawyers. For a fraction of the cost he can get other content pushed ahead of it, no one is building new links to that content, so it is stale. It's a

This is the major disadvantage of using longcodes (regular 7 digit phone number) and is the reason that any company that is serious about sending out large quantity of messages, is using a shortcode (5-6 digit number) which can (with twilio

Taking down a video produced by a competitor is exactly the kind of problems that come about when the "weapons" to stop piracy are handed over to corporate interests. This is just the tip of the iceberg, it will be 100 times worse if SOPA p
