Well we have all heard of the Google sandbox.  Every time I think about it I think of the third Star Wars episode.  Not the new ones, the old good ones.  Where they are throwing people in the pit of the monster before Luke grabs his light saber and starts wiping peoples ass.  Ohhh tangent.  Honestly I don’t have any figures and I have been laid.

But anyhow, to us internet marketers that is a bad word.  But what does it mean to the average IMer.  Not much if you play by the rules.  I am not saying Matt Cutts is God like as a lot of others think, but he said it and I will stick to it. Quote – Provide good content and we will reward you.

Basically don’t try to f**k us and we will notice this and realize that you are one of the good guys and keep you in the game.

Now I know everyone likes the easy button.  But Google isn’t Staples.  It is more like a farmers approach.  Grow good websites, update them regularly with good content and in time you will see the fruits of your labor.

So it goes to say.  Treat your work seriously and not try to follow those idiots online promising that this is a easy job and you can make millions over night. I feel sorry for those people that get online and think that there is a way to trick Google.

Google has dudes in lab coats and pocket protectors running around their offices.  They be like smarter than me and shit. I be like trying to make money but end up saying “I can’t fight the reaper”.

Basically before I lead you down the road of wasting your time.  I want to tell you that if you are playing the rules and really want succeed, treat Google as a friend.  Actually read what it says in the webmasters tools.  You do know the webmasters tools??

If you are new to this realm, forget a lot of the marketers that have the new best thing everyday.  How you need to buy this or that.  Granted there are good products out there.  But they don’t come out everyday.

A lot of the good stuff, you can find on good blogs and doing your research.  Everyone has an opinion.  Mine might not be the best one or be completely be right.

But I will say this,  you see this site, quite ugly right.  I am like the mechanic that has his own car in the yard on blocks.  I don’t pay attention to BS ideas.  Because if you follow every new thing you hear you will never get anything done.

What you need to do is find a couple ideas and make your own opinions.  People do test things and they seem to work for them.  But it is difficult to have the same exact same thing in your business.  This shit is mathematical in how things are ranked…don’t forget about the variables.

I digress, and ramble.  If you think this post sucks or you think I am an idiot tell me.  Or if you think I am cool, send me for Christmas an Monthly Cheese Club Subscription.  At least leave your comment.  I be like….liking that shit and stuff.
