Acne Clearing Device – huh?
October 13, 2008
OK, it is Monday morning. I am in a foul mood and have a TON of work ahead of me…then I stop by Real Estate Webmasters and read this thread. Seems someone posted over at ActiveRain about their massive SKILLZ when it comes to ranking for the terms Acne clearing device, Acne clearing, and another nonsense term or two. That (of course) should translate into their ability to help someone rank for Real Estate related terms as well. Ummm…examples PLEASE!!
Then this guy has the nerve to post how good he is in an attempt to get customers from the real estate community by selling them MASS QUANTITIES of LINKS for $149. (And he calls himself a former Googler??? I call BS!!! He obviously didn’t spend much time in Bldg 43-hehe)
OK, Mr Acne Clearing Device, bring it! Time to contest the term ACNE CLEARING DEVICE a bit? To prove to your sorry butt and everyone else in the real estate community that you don’t know what you are talking about.
Final thought: If you are getting your links by simply spamming comments, submitting to free directories, etc…how good can they be? If you really want to be an authority on Acne Clearing devices, how about just BEING one? Are you REALLY dropping 6,000 AUTHORITATIVE comments for $149–pffft..PLEASE.
The RIGHT way to build online authority is to BE an Auhtority and provide SOLID content that folks WANT to link to, whether on your site or on other peoples’ sites.
LOL..and, by the way… “Don’t Wait, our prices will be going up soon!”
Awesome article, Eric! People that are nothing more than scammers and fakes lose out in the long run. Be authentic. And be the authority.
Way to call this joker out Eric. 6,000 quality links for $149 is definitely BS!
Go get him, Eric. Guys like this give the SEO biz a bad name. Promising the moon and Selling fluff.

Way to go Eric. There are still plenty of people who fall for this crap. With as many people in the real estate industry who are hurting, it is shocking but enough of them still have money to just through away.
I’ve been on and off your site since the REW conference where your no BS approach to link building first started to set in. The problem with guys like the one you are ripping on is that there are enough desperate website owners that want placement tomorrow with very little work. This guy is just a tick feeding on the desperate. Hopefully some of the desperate individuals will find people like you to set them straight before they waste their money. I appreciate your blogs. Keep them coming!
Thanks Lee! It was good to meet you as well.
Best;

Hehe- Google – Acne clearing device – True, I am not #1 yet…currently #5 in my DC, but a) I have not tried at all and b) it has been a grand total of just over 50 days…all I did was post it and forget it. I had totally forgotten that i wrote this…
Thanks for asking me how it was going! (grin)
