Dr Fire Invents Search Engine Spam

Dr Fire I am going to unsubscribe from your feed.

You are wasting too much of my reading time with your spam.

Simple as that… I was interested to hear what you had to say when you were talking about marketing and such, but after you figured out that your hits would go way up by spamming popular keywords you lost me.

Your King Kong beats up Dr. Phil on Howard Stern was bad enough. But I can forgive you once, or twice…  But it looks like these spam posts are not a temporary thing with your blog.  It is now starting to appear that you just intend to keep on spamming away.

I hope all your Brittney Spears and King Kong traffic makes up for all the people you will loose who grow tired of this new marketing technique you developed.

You should talk to Al Gore, you know he invented the internet.

Here is the spam post that lost me:

Amblogger.net and Problogger.net Imagine How I Feel

I love it when people make a really big deal about nothing.  

Here is a good example,  Amblogger.net copied the template of Problogger.net and put it on his site.

This immediately got the attention of a lot of bloggers, and when something get’s a bloggers attention they blog about it. So Bloggers were blogging their little fingers to the bone about this.

There is one aspect of this whole thing that is really tragic, and that is the fact that I didn’t get to see the template when it was up.  

Now, for all these people to continue to make a big deal out of this when I didn’t get to see it is really inconsiderate.

Imagine how I feel… left out… disappointed… not sure I can recover…

It has since been taken down so now I have no chance to see what everyone was talking about.  This is a huge loss for me and no one has stopped to take time to blog about how I feel, or the possible ramifications of feelings I could have a copyright to.

I am going to contact my attorney because I am sure I have a good case against Amblogger depriving me of the right to see this template.  I am thinking 2 billion in damages should cover it.  I may also sue problogger.net for not having a sense of humor and going on the attack before I got a chance to see.  

I am sure there is a lot of case law that will support me in both these law suits, anyone know of a good personal injury lawyer that will take this on a contingency fee?

Bill Gates Junk Emails

I was just reading about Bill Gates and I came across this:

Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer has stated that Gates is probably the most "spammed" person in the world, receiving as many as 4,000,000 emails per day in 2004, most of which were junk. Gates has almost an entire department devoted to filtering out junk emails.

I thought I had a problem with junk email.  I probably don’t get half that many. *smile*
