Vista Print sells business cards for the same price that other companies charge for shipping. Does anybody know how they do that? By ‘hiding’ the cost in the shipping fees:
Slow: 21 Days – $9.19
Standard: 14 Days – $13.19
Priority: 7 Days – $17.44
Rush+: 3 Business Days – $29.48
On actual cost of about $1.45.
Peet the Pink Elephant probably sounds like a really dumb title. But there’s a reason I chose this moniker, and it has to do with the way self-pronounced search engine marketing experts (SEO) market their “services” and pretend they pull some magic out of their (pink) hats.
So, while I thought Peet had died a few years ago while doing some basic optimization for a friend recently I came across some of his foot steps (they were imprinted in the face of a friend of mine in form of a questionmark).
The rest of the Peet the Pink Elephant story will follow when Google tells me to finish it 😉
What is an individual search engine? I am afraid it does not exist yet. BUT IT WILL!
Which is the most used search engine? For the United States that’s easy to answer: 59% of US searchers use Google (Yahoo is a distant second with about 19%).
How can you clear all search engines from clutter? EASY – just throw out all the pages that have Google AdSense or Amazon Associate tools on them. The results you get will be at least 50% better!
