Elvis, a Dofollow Link, and Hip Marketers
"Thank you very much" for the SEO Badge, Mr. President!*
Today, in the spirit of Wired Magazine’s “wired/tired/expired” series, we’re going to run through some online marketing terms that have become downright “square”, and either are being, or should be replaced by, a more “hip” counterpart. This one goes to eleven!
| Square | Hip |
| 1. Reach | Fan base |
| 2. Paid Links | Earned Links |
| 3. Spamming | Participating in the conversation |
| 4. Participating in the conversation | Generating a profit |
| 5. Keyword Density | Stemming |
| 6. PageRank | Anchor Text |
| 7. Top 10 | Top 11 |
| 8. Insertion Order | Contextual Targeting |
| 9. Pay per Click | Pay per Tweet |
| 10. Software “In the Cloud” | SaaS |
| 11. Online Marketer | Marketer |
*Contrary to rumor, Nixon did not give Elvis an SEO badge actually – he did give him a badge however.
The first person to comment below and correctly tell the world what kind of badge it was will receive my undying respect, and a dofollow link in the comment as long as it’s to something G-rated (payday loans – yes. viagra – no.) 😉
well I can’t claim to have known this, but according to http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/jan/17/when-elvis-met-nixon/, it was a NARCOTICS Badge. 🙂
Yes indeed Nixon gave Elvis a Narcotics Badge!
from the blog we are told that he received a SEO badge the denial later on mixes us up and require thorough mind twisting but if Elvis stands out to tell the world then we shall be at a position of knowing.
