Then you have:

> ” SEO is bullshit, if you generate a web page with good content Google will rank the page properly.”

That made me laugh, along with his thoughts on the overall purity of Google (which he also chose to share on my blog for I don’t know what reason). In my experience SEO *is* bullshit, agreed, but not for the reasons Jason thinks. The greatest content in the world without good backlinks is difficult to find in the results regardless of how much SEO surgery you perform on it, yet spam sites do well in Google with no decent backlinks at all and no one seems to know why (could it have something to do with the fact that most of them are Google Domains for Adsense sites?).

Then there’s this gem:

>Netscape has more uniques as Digg has more pages.

Now that’s the salesman in Jason for sure. By his calculations, if my site has 37 pages, and Digg has 678,900, I’m guaranteed *more* uniques than Digg because they have more pages to look at than I do. Nah-nah-a-boo-boo, take that, Digg — really.

Reality check: last time I looked at my counter, I wasn’t getting over 500,000 uniques a day, and neither is Netscape.

>Netscape is growing although Nick Denton keeps slamming us and saying it is going down.

It’s doing well *in spite* of Nick? What an influential creature he must be! How’s *that* for a conspiracy theory? Next Jason will blame him for World War II, the new Democratic Congress and rising crime rates, I suppose. It’s all your fault, Nick! Just admit it.

He said just one thing I like:

* Slimebuckets ruin each new industry and ruin it for everyone with spam, across the mediums of social news, seo & email.

Maybe there’s hope for him yet?

Yes!

There are currently 9 companies that pay bloggers to write reviews. Blogitive was the first “get paid to blog” site. Many WAHMs and SAHMs are grateful for this new income opportunity. It helps with the loss of an income due to the decision of raising one’s child.

Unlike the A-listers, we don’t earn six figure incomes, but we can earn enough to pay the utility bills. In a home with one income, two adults and children….that means a lot.

I think it goes without saying that if you’re blocking the search engines and don’t have machine readable content, you’re not going to get a high rank.

Do you always expect people to clarify everything with with stupid and obvious exceptions?

That said, I think JC is a great linkbaiter/SEO. He says all this stupid and controversial things that get him noticed in the blogosphere.

I’d just ignore him.
