Getting on the front page of Digg is a huge accomplishment for any web marketer to get yourself on the front page.

But this web marketer and SEO has done that: Here’s the link on digg
See us on the front page of Digg’s political

This is obviously a screen capture of two days ago, but we’re still on the top page of Digg’s Political page (look for “US President”)
It’s truly a first for my and many of my friends that have been doing this for a while.

How well did we do. How’s 17,000 unique visitors the first page, and 41,000 on the next day. (the our stats)

Did we get rich because of it (well we did have ads on it)… Well… Let’s just say I can pay my cell phone bill with it, but not my car this month with it.

How did we do it?

• Well first it was a great idea.
• Great design (looks good, but more importantly was easy to see, everything important was above the fold)
• Advertisement is PART of the design (not an afterthough)
• Posted it on digg in the morning (although it didn’t really blow up until after 6pm)
• The Title on the Digg article had the word “DIGG”, and included the word “Ron Paul” and other keywords that are often searched on digg for.
• Blind luck (this may have been the best advice

Now let’s see if we can do this again!?!?!

Any great ideas?

Video editing is the new frontier for any kind of advertisement, and even grass room campaign.
Here’s a very professional video made by Citron for their newest car and what you can see, some impressive copies by either just funny individuals or by college students doing some amazing work

The Original By Citron:

Yugo

And the parody from the old Citron:

And just a completely separate version completely made by college students (copying no one)

It’s amazing how everyone that has done something wrong tries to blame someone else for it, or has a way to explain how someone else has the RESPONSIBILITY to help them out, or bail them out.

(Also I love how cheap video editing, youtube free hosting, and easy access to tv video can make a wonderful video.)

I love Jim Cramer but this video makes some good point!

Let’s bail out the people stuck with mortgages they can’t pay and let the rich people find other things to sell to get back their money.

To me it’s truly amazing the different amount of money people make through-out the world.

Oh… don’t get me wrong. I completely understand the concept that if all your food, and housing cost you close to that amount you can make less and live.

And they sound like they’re pleased with their situation.

So should I feel good or bad that as an SEO Beginner I make the same amount of money with this website as these VERY hard working people in africa?

The good news: The found the Cause of Heart Attacks!

The Bad news: We’re the cause…
