Why so negative?
I am sometimes asked “Ned why are you so negative?” My reply is that I have every reason to because I am constantly inundated with hype and crap in the world of internet marketing and unless you are critical and discerning it is easy to get mislead, wasting a lot of time and money in the process.
Once you pass a certain threshold of knowledge you become very good at detecting hype and flimflam, but a lot of noobs aren’t and they are mislead into buying worthless ebooks, having illusions of grandeur, and so on.
One of the goals of this blog is to dispell a lot of the hype circulating around the web 2.0 and internet marketing world.
I tend to view things from an analytic and economic standpoint preferring objectiveness over subjectiveness.
Fro example, remember when link farms were all the rage? They don’t work any more. If it wern’t for ‘negative’ people dispelling link farms people would still be mislead into joining link farms.

The entire “marketing” internet isn’t like that. I have a few places I have found over time that dont have the same old cookie-cutter pristine-and-pretty crap that litters places like SeoBook, and DP. I think you’d like it more there. As always, e-mail me if you want the links. There are some more realistic, out for themselves types. Just matters who you consort with.
PS: Link farms are out, blog farms are in
