A catch phrase will go here soon.

Gary Ruplinger speaks… "why souldn't I piss in the town well?!?!"

2/9/2007

It seems the snakeoil salesman of now infamous YouTube video fame has posted in the comments. Of course, his push the limits to compete with the “big boys” philosophy is exactly what is destroying search. If people like this didn’t exist the search indexes would be cleaner, good site owners would win out, and Google wouldn’t have to waste their time on spam and could put it towards making other products.

  • Gary says: “As far as I’m concerned, and I know not everyone will agree with me, but you need to be out there seeking links and promoting your site aggressively, especially if you want to compete with the “big boys.” If you have great content, those people will stick around – if not you’re wasting your time. That’s what I do, I aggressivley promote websites. Yes, sometimes I go to far and get penalized or banned, but if you’re not willing to push too far, you’re not going to find out what the limits are either.”

Way to go Gary… go ahead and piss in the town well (i.e. digg, netscape, google’s index, etc). I mean, finding a bathroom to relieve yourself would take too much work. Forget about the fact that the rest of us drink from that well…. you go ahead and piss in it.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
