It seems that Mr Cutts has been busy defeating a very British style of Spam according to SEOIdiot.

The SEO Idiot Blog shows the super hero defeating some well known Brits at their day jobs. I wonder who they could be.......

Collectors SPAM®

THE makers of Spam in the United Kingdom are poking fun at themselves by launching a "collector's edition" flavor, Stinky French Garlic, to coincide with the London opening of the Monty Python musical "Spamalot" this month.

Hormel Inc. hopes the flavor will become its best-selling Spam product in Britain by the time the show opens Sept. 30 at the Palace Theatre.

.... 'THE makers of Spam in the United Kingdom' - who resembles that remark?

Charlotte, NC Spam

Wavy Davy on Thu, 2006-09-07 07:55.

..... I'm going to an official Spamalot PR stunt tomorrow in Charlotte - BofA building.

There are "special spam prizes" to be won - being a vegan (not a boring bastard though) I will keep it merely for show and as a trophy of my silliness.

I am going dressed up as the guy in Brian that is hung upside down in a cell - and I shall being yelling "You bastards - you lucky, lucky bastards"

I doubt that I will gain any Internet Marketing credibility but will plug my iPod DJ rental systems though.....

Well that was just a hoot.

Well that was just a hoot. :) Who do I tackle next? :)

SEOidiot on Thu, 2006-09-07 12:44.

Thanks for all the comments ..... I know Jason and Earl are a few hundred miles apart but they seemed the ideal candidates..

Any suggestions for version 2?

very nice

John Andrews on Thu, 2006-09-07 13:36.

Enjoyed it and look forward to more. Link love will follow.

I lke the idea of...

Kali on Thu, 2006-09-07 17:34.

DaveN as the arch villain - reappearing every few issues. To be pictured stroking a white cat and coming out with lines such as 'I'll be back'

He'll also need some

fantomaster on Thu, 2006-09-07 17:49.

scary Black Spamonite* as the ultimate overkill weapon that makes even the hero tremble ...

And pleeze - do let the really good guys win at least on and off, ok? (You know who they are, heh.)

* Now let's see how long it takes for this page to rank for that term. :)

Dont forget

(sorry non brits - I cant find it online the best I can do is a pic)

I totally think Matt needs

grnidone on Fri, 2006-09-08 05:46.

I *totally* think Matt needs to show up to the next SES wearing tights.

The next episode?

jetboy on Fri, 2006-09-08 05:46.

How about you leave Google behind, learn to fly jets, lose your best buddy in a freak accident, face your fears, get the girl and win the day?

Next episode

SEOidiot on Fri, 2006-09-08 06:15.

Well I dont know..... i already have a rough sketch of DaveN sitting in his hollowed out volcano in Ripon stroking a cat.....

The volcano just up the road

jetboy on Fri, 2006-09-08 06:21.

The volcano just up the road from the top secret submarine pens in Harrogate? I had no idea that was hollow ...

It's

My Adsense account has just been banned

SEOidiot on Fri, 2006-09-08 14:06.

My Adsense account was banned just hours after this toon appeared on Threadwatch for Invalid clicks.... I have lodged an appeal and if this is unsuccesful the toon may take a slightly darker path.... im NOT a happy camper... i have never clicked my own ads and never would

I have provided log info to support my appeal and im now getting VERY VERY VERY drunk...

S.O.P.

John Andrews on Fri, 2006-09-08 14:17.

That's Standard Operating Procedure for G it seems, SEOidiot. Do the work of providing the evidence, begging for consideration, and waiting, and if they feel like it they will re-instate your account. Some have even suggested that these days you email the AdSense team any time you're thinking you might get traffic, so they can adjust your Smart Pricing...err... prepare the click fraud filters in advance.

Adsense banned me after my toon

Damn

fantomaster on Fri, 2006-09-08 20:14.

Sure wish you all the best success on this one - looks like a pretty weird coincidence of events, what with even Matt displaying his amusement here, and now: this! What a bummer.

Its irritating rather than terminal

SEOidiot on Sat, 2006-09-09 00:35.

Thanks Fantomaster... Its an irritation that you have to prove you didnt rather than they prove you did..... The biggest problem is the money in that account - and the hassle of having to switch rev streams on erm.. lots of sites....

Adsense banning

wheel on Sun, 2006-09-10 05:29.

Yeah, I like how they keep all the money in the account when they ban. I've got a friend I help out a bit with SEO, he's an old retired guy with a hobby site. His site makes the national newspaper one day, his clicks skyrocket, he gets banned and they keep the cash. Nice one. He admitted that he'd clicked on a couple ads simply because he didn't know any better and was actually interested in the products advertised. He apologized, it was only a couple ads, but no go. With all their click fraud technology it's kind of funny how when they banned the account they kept all the money - from both his one or two invalid clicks and the hundreds of dollars of valid clicks that came in from the national exposure.

When Google takes valid money from retired people with nothing but good intentions running hobby sites - well, you don't see me running that crap on any of my sites. You think they returned all that money to advertisers? No way they did. They're lining their pockets on the backs of people like this.
