Anthony Morrison saves the day!

After posting this morning about the lady who flaked out on our ASE 2012 charity auction, I had a couple people inquire!

Then instantly I received a payment from Anthony Morrison. Awesome!

I will be (modeling) wearing Anthony’s shirt for his new venture called Income Edu.

Here is more info from Anthony:

It’s a killer new site that I put together where we charge only $39.95/month and we create a new product every single week. Members have a “say so” in what type of training course we create each and every week so it’s very “interactive” for them. We also do 2 live webinars each month to discuss the courses we released and any questions related to them for the month. Basically its a great membership spot that allows people to get a new ‘training course’ every single week…. 2 great webinars per month…. NO UPSELLS.. just clean.

Go check it out here and thanks again Anthony!!

This lady really really really pisses me off

This is the first time ever… in selling many items on eBay, that I have had someone not pay. This years Affiliate Summit Charity Auction was for a very special cause. The proceeds go to a local Lincoln, Ne family who can really use it after their baby

I was kind of screwed when the lady did not pay. Here the family was so excited that someone was donating 5k to benefit their child…

Also I don’t honestly know what to do. I filed a deal with eBay but it takes like 14 days for them to take action. Not even sure what action means.

I have exhausted all resources contacting the Lady who won:

Lori Weaver – eBay id Jonathan32000 & her Facebook is here

This lady really really pisses me off.

Have emailed her many times, called her work, and messaged her on Facebook.

Seriously lady… I mean email or call me back and tell me someone hacked your account, tell me you just misbid and can’t afford it…

But don’t make me tell this family who thinks they are going to get $5,000 to help pay bills for their ill baby that I don’t know if someone is going to pay or not.

Now that bitch puts me in a very weird position. Do I re-list it while eBay does its “investigation” ?

If someone wants to come in and save the day use our Contact Us form and I will love you long time.

BTW if you don’t know what this is for – John Chow & myself will wear your companies shirt at Affiliate Summit East 2012 and nothing but it.

If you haven’t been following the SEO sphere lately here’s what you need to know: Google is starting to push harder against artificial linkbuilding methods, including low quality links, link networks and so on.

Earlier this year Google started sending warnings to websites that were breaking one or more of Google’s policies regarding backlinks. Then we had the Penguin update which supposedly hit many of those websites hard.

The curious thing is that in some cases the penalty coming from those bad links was pretty harsh, and large websites that were penalized were desperate to fix things.

Google’s own advice was to remove those bad links. so the websites started asking for other websites to remove links pointing to them, and threatening to sue if they didn’t! I am not sure if this was clear, but here’s what they were basically saying: “Hey, you know those links you have pointing to my website? While I appreciated them a couple of months ago, I don’t need them anymore, so please remove them or I’ll sue you!”.

Search Engine Land has a very interesting article covering this whole debacle: Insanity: Google Sends New Link Warnings, Then Says You Can Ignore Them. Here’s a quote:

But what if people couldn't get links taken down? The head of Google's web spam team, Matt Cutts, just generally suggested such a thing was possible without giving any specific advice.

This led further support to those who argued that "negative SEO" was now suddenly a real possibility, that any publisher could be targeted with "bad links" and made to plunge in Google's rankings. Google stressed that negative SEO in this way is rare and hard. To this date, negative SEO still hasn't seemed to be a wide-spread problem for the vast majority of publishers on the web.

Those reassurances — along with a Google help page update saying Google "works hard to prevent" negative SEO — hasn't calmed some. Negative SEO has remained a rallying cry especially for many hit by Penguin (and many were deservedly hit) looking for a way to fight back against Google.

Bottom line: don’t resort to artificial linkbuilding schemes, networks or paid links, as sooner or later it will get your website penalized. Sure, natural linkbuilding takes a lot more time and effort, but at least you can be sure it will be worth it in the long run.
