THE PROBLEM WITH GURUS And EXPERTSYou should be terrified to live in this modern age. You can't even get your hands on a printed best seller these days without planning for it in advance. Newspapers and newstands are disappearing along with magazines. Bookstores are disappearing and now you have to map out your Barnes and Nobles route before you leave the house to avoid rush hour.
The modern age sucks.
I miss a lot of the bookstore venues we had a few short years ago. I even miss Walden Books of all places and it used to be my least favorite. But why am I going on and on about this book thing? Well in my travels and discoveries I was surprised to see that some of these marketing gurus are claiming to have pulled incredible numbers of clients and leads.
Im not going to mention names here because I will get called out on it. Many authors have read my blogs and I do get contacted occasionally - but lets stick to the point. Some of these authors claim they pulled 937,000 leads off a single website recently. I was a little bit impressed until I got in front of a computer and looked these guys up on Google. I tore their websites apart looking for trigger codes that would talk to search engines that would warrant this type of response. And guess what? I found .. NONE.. I found nothing. I also turned up zero on the links portion of the websites. This boastful author only had 40 links to one of his websites.
So you know what I thought about the whole thing right?
Thats right. I thought it was total bullshit. But the sad thing about being a crackjack SEO is that I can tell when someone is jerking my chain and trying to get me to be impressed. I meet a lot of bullshit authors and web gurus people. I got Xray eyes and can peer into any website and tell you if the guy behind the charade is the real deal or a low life nickel snatcher.
I have to live honestly because it is what I do. Its what I am all about. Gurus on the whole - seriously sicken me. And I have met dozens and maybe hundreds of them by now but I chose to only remember a select few because I have selective memory.
The Newest Kid on the Block is claiming to pull $26 grand off of each client doing what he calls, "Market Domination" --
Im disappointed after going to his site. Its a blog and it is not optimized. It is in pieces actually and is not functioning. This is somewhat of a norm among these types. I have another group out there that does social media. They claim to pull multiple amounts of money each month off of their clients. But their social media buttons on their own website are out of order.
CRACKPOTS !!!!!
The problem with these gurus in my opinion, aside from seeing through their smoke and mirrors, is that they attract droves of poor people. And I got nothing against poor people, (unless they are throwing up their MLM ALL OVER ME) but I find their attention span around these illusionary concepts of what money is and what money is not exhausting.

Growing Up Digital: The Changing Face of The Economic Landscape
REMEMBER THE 1990'S? BACK WHEN WE HAD JOBS?
Job culture was great. It was short and sweet. I caught the tail end of it when I worked in Chicago and New York City. Those were fun days. Little did I know that it was going to be short lived. My oh my have things changed. Back in the Dot Com Era my idea of a good time was getting a paycheck for $2800 for two weeks honest work. Now I am able to bang that out in a single day. In the 90's I wanted to work for MTV and be a creative director. Nowadays MTV is little more than Maternity TV. Its a sound board for knocked up teens.
The funny thing is that even in this modern age those annoying teens complain about how lousy thier lives are. That is amusing. We are living in America but you would hardly know it. Now that people are being thrown onto the street they live their lives like they are nothing more than imprisoned inmates.
We have more television channels than ever before, (my carrier has over 800) and gazillions of websites. And do not forget the thousands of satellite radio stations all over the world. Traditional television is mimicking the web. You won't find television shows like, "The Odd Couple", (man I miss Felix Unger) or "Happy Days" anymore because we are all too busy bitching at one another on national television. A lot of what you see is called reality television in America. I am not sure how things are in other countries but in the USA we have regressed to a nation of spineless whiners.
Its war now in America and I am on the street. I know how to sell and maneuver through all the nonsense. I have to tell you that I am having the time of my life. I am a hustler and a self professed go getter. I don't know if I could ever adapt to job culture. It makes me uneasy to have to hear water cooler chatter about birthdays, 3 way love triangles and sharp shooting office politics.
I am too old to have a job according to the New York Times. I am over the grandaddy age of 39 and considered irrelevant by many standards. That was in the Sunday edition a few weeks back. Well this ancient old man has a few things to say about the job situation. If we are going to let our advertising and tech companies fall into the hands of over educated 20 something industry newbies we are generally screwed.
Retail is really in grave danger. Don't forget that the old ways of getting the word out in the forms of television, radio and newspapers is a thing of the past. I'd like to throw the concept of middle management in there as well. Its all useless. Meanwhile, who is going navigate the business populace through all of this muck?
THE COLLAPSE OF MEDIA CHANNELS
Newspapers are falling apart. I don't mean consilidation here I am talking about newspaper companies closing their doors altogether. Radio on the other hand is getting more desperate and its also getting more expensive. Television is just as ineffective as ever before and worse -- nobody is paying attention to the commercials. The only time that the public seems to notice is to watch someone else's wretched life fall apart on some reality television show.
Nonsense aside who is going to advertise for the business class?
Is anyone capable of doing a good enough job? Limo rental in Livonia Michigan uses the web to get the word out. Things are actually pretty bleak when you think about it. Now the old vanguards of the advertising set are suddently the shoulder of comfort when it comes to SEO search engine optimization and social media. Like rats on a sinking ship these old fossils are becoming overnight saviors in the media. I can't blame them for trying to stay alive in this blazing inferno of tech overload.
Does that mean you should do it? Why is CBS Radio hawking SEO services? The web is a complex animal and it is going to take more than rotating banners to sell a product or a service. The phone companies are offering template websites that do little more than pop up on cue. These really under perform when it comes to the vital stats that keep a business afloat. When it comes to creating links, and achieving page rank the crusaders of tech fall silent.
But that is just the beginning of the charade.

Dental Marketing Program Eliminates Myths About Search Engine Optimization
This was featured in EmailWire, Bezinga, and quite a few other places.
==========================================================================
Troy, Michigan – As newspapers continue to scramble for more online relevancy media sellers of all types are combing the streets of Metro Detroit desperate for a sale. There are coupon specialists, direct mail experts and directory sales people who are hinting about search engine optimization. In the multitude of professionals being pitched are chiropractic offices, medical doctors of all distinctions and dental practices. A lot of these programs are offering various types of traffic visibility. Metro Detroit businesses now see the importance of being on the first page of Google, Bing and Yahoo and other top media sites such as Twitter, Youtube.com and Facebook.
One media company has chosen to stay in Metro Detroit and help the business climate. Ted Cantu is an author, speaker and has worked closely with the dental community to create a new form of advertising just for their industry. Xtreme Dental Marketing is a concept that takes out the common myths about SEO and also takes out the complications of running a good search engine optimization campaign. The websites Cantu and his company sells are optimized for the best selling services that a dental office has to offer. This can include anything from veneers, lumineers, Invisalign Teen, and crowns. This is done through a combination of smart keyword placement throughout the site structure and based on the dental office location. The results are a series of page one placements in every category, every niche and every geo targeted location.
“A common myth about search engine optimization is that one has to buy their way to the top. Most dental websites are nothing more than a phone number and an address. It is a glorified electronic business card. The websites at Xtreme Dental Marketing are optimized by categories of the best selling services so no pay per click is needed.” Says Xtreme Dental Marketing and SEO, Ted Cantu.
The results have been very dramatic and have been posted on video. Dental offices have expanded their practices into different locations as a result of using this program. More importantly, Metro Detroit dental offices have cut down their traditional marketing spending down to 25% and have eliminated radio, television and billboard advertising. There has been more of a rush to get online and reach more people through search engines than ever before. That is what this program is designed to do.

Ted Cantu Is Full Of Truth......
Funny what can happen in just a years time. A year ago we were getting slammed for some pretty ridiculous things. The problem started when I started attacking conventional thinking in regards to advertising. It seems that a lot of us out there are mentally married to expensive advertising, pay per click, yellow pages and some other costly things....
TELEVISION VS WEB VIDEO
The comment I made about television was the one that really set the automotive industry off their rocker. The idea here is that graphics need to look dynamic, filled with rapid edits, and come off like a Hollywood commercial. We took the opposite spin on this and created hand held shots, used cheap HD cameras, and did some green screen composite shots and mocked television informercials. Yes, it was decidedly low budget but it served a purpose.
The videos that we shot for the web did everything the automotive companies didn't do. As a result we acheived 47,000 views for some of our clips and that was just on YouTube alone. My automotive companies did not fare as well. They pulled a dismal 80+ views and so it goes.....
We did a lot of other changes too in our company recently. We no longer feature models in our clips. Again, we tested this out and found out that the consumers who watch our video clips are looking for the guy next door. They do not crave Hollywood they are just looking for someone who is honest and believable.
Web video is different than television on many levels. Television has certain standards that the advertisers live to stand up to. Web video has no pretentions and is open to experimentation, off the cuff comedy, and spontaneity. It also offers a chance to communicate on a soul level than with television commercial culture.
IMPORTANT KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
YouTube has expanded their time limit on the videos you upload. They will now accept videos that are 15 minutes in length. Keep in mind that this is in top shelf HD.

PR4 Rank Rising: In Just 4 Weeks
UPSETTING THE HERD COMES NATURAL TO ME
A few years back I made a ton of enemies. I upset the herd. I was asked for my humble opinion about web marketing and I gave it and all hell broke loose. I am used to this sort of thing from time to time. I've rocked the boat in MLM groups like Market America and have had threatening letters sent to my house by ex-defunct uber alles web leader - Steve Sawyer and his ilk. Sawyer was later cut loose by the parent company and was denied wages and he later sued Market America.
I didn't have to lift a finger -- All I had to do was sit back and watch it all unfold. Sometimes, life is beautiful.
This was back in 2007. What had outraged Mr. Sawyer and JR Riddenger was that I had figured out how to use search engine technology. I actually was cleared of any wrong doing. You see, other members of the Market America group were contacting me and asking me how to become popular online as well.
Once I was cleared of all "criminal" yes... I said criminal... charges I was allowed to continue to sell their crappy products unharmed. After I was cleared I said thank you... and then gave them a big F.U. letter and walked out, three days after I was cleared and never looked back.
In spite of threats of future endeavors I became a certified SEO. As far as I know, this is within my legal rights. This is still America, the last time I checked.
CANTU STRIKES AGAIN.....
Recently, I was thrown out of the popular NING Automotive group -- well sort of. I was defending some basic SEO tactics and was attacked by a bunch of flat footed showroom flunkies turned SEO "experts". These over night academics were appalled by my frankness... and careful study. I pointed out several flaws with their approach in a conservative tone. This was met with bile and spit.
My comments were quickly taken down off of the message boards. I then asked to be removed from the group. But alas, they just cannot seem to live and exist without my SEO manliness. I am still on their roster to this day.
I have several examples of this as I continue through my online marketing journey. I am not sure to take this as a compliment or as an insult. I have been attacked, stabbed in the back by other organizations as well.... GKIC Kennedy comes to mind. But I continue to shoot my mouth off and help companies get on page one.
What you are supposed to do is drop everything and purchase the new $3,800 a month coaching program from the SEO flavor of the month gurus instead of listening to reason. You are supposed to drop two payments of $7,500 each for crap that does not work and many people do but I am here to tell you something from the world of real experience.....
I expect more hate mail from CBS radio and all the others for what I am about to share with you. But once again, this is my own real world experience and it is going to run counter to everything else you hear in the current.... popular.... search engine optimization realm.
And no, I am not talking about, (or even defending) social media.....
THE UNCOMMON PR4 RESULT --- IN JUST 6 WEEKS
Now, with a past like that I am about to upset all of my "friends" out there once again with some new stuff. I promise to not disappoint.
I grabbed a domain name recently and created a simple 5 page site. The speed of this process is the most important part of the story. I did not plan. I did not sweat the small stuff. I did not even do a soft launch or a pre launch or throw a party. I just bought a domain and threw together a site and then published it.
Thats upsetting... hell, its downright..... offensive... to somebody.
You have to read the stuff people send me to understand the sheer comedic idiocy of it all. I do not plan stuff out to death. I make money. I never apologize for that. I just do it. I make money, I create sites, thats what I do. I sell.
The site was aimed at a niche market. I did not want to overthink it. I got enough to worry about with my marketing and clients sites. All I want to do is create an impact in my niche and do it quick. You see I never know what the search engines are going to pick up right away or what pages they are even going to index. Thats important to remember because BING reads pages a bit differently and they will grab what appears to be random stuff. Bing never has your content in order. In short, they rarely grab the index page off of your site. It will grab a page that sits deep in your root directory.
Yahoo will grab your site in about 6 days if you get the right kind of domain. I train companies how to purchase domains so this can speed up the process. I will only share that with my clients..... But lets focus on the main part of the conversation.....
Another thing I want to stress here is sitemaps. I recently had a conversation with some SEO experts and they were very cocky about it. You only need one style they said.... HTML... NO KIDDING !!!! But there are three other styles out there now... TEXT, ROR, AND XML... Don't be a dope... you should use all 4 styles....
WHY?
Because in just 6 days in combination with full site optimization I was able to jump over 30 million competing web pages and land on page 1 of Yahoo and Google. I was also able to create three other sites and completely corner a market and get the phones ringing..... Thats kind of important if you want to stay in business. Especially in todays economy.
Its life or death.... Sorry if that offends people. But this game of search engine optimization is designed only for the players. Only 15% of all websites are even archived to begin with. MLM guys never want to admit that, and either do real estate or insurance guys.... But face it... If you know what I know it would cut down all the stress and alcoholism in those industries.... so get intelligent, and pretty please... with sugar on top... put all four sitemaps in your websites.
There is an added touch of two things concerning..... authority sites and press releases but this is the point.... My site, the one I built in one day.... reached page 1 of Google with nothing less than PR4 ranking. Yes, its making money, and people know me but that is exactly the point.
The smartest guy in the room always makes the bigwigs nervous. Someimes jealousy ensues and people get fired. People make threats.... I was told after leaving Market America that I would be watched very closely. That wasn't out of friendship. I was warned....
Well boys, I hope you are watching.
Its 2010. Maybe you will learn something.
From your master.

Bone Shattering, Mind Blowing, SEO Results
THEODORE TAKE A BOW
In the last 18 months I have been labled everything under the sun. But alas, dear ones, I have come back and resurfaced with some powerful results. I am pleased as punch to announce that I have been knocking out 9 out of 10 top results in just about every category I play in.
This has never been more true than in the medical category.....
GOOGLE KICKS OUT ITS ADORING PPC CUSTOMERS
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this one. Google is literally taking away PPC accounts from people with little or no reason. Matt Bacak wrote me this heart wrenching email recently asking for.... help I think... You know. I sort of lost interest halfway through reading it so I cannot account for what the rest of his email said.....
I am certainly not sending him money. He's not Unicef for crying out loud. He's a farbezner, looking for his next buck like the rest of us.
Hardly a charity case.
I got another email too written in the same vein from Tellman Knudson. I do not feel sorry for these people. I seriously don't. As the world of marketing changes we must change. Its about as simple as that.
If anybody felt like they world owed them something that I would pass that honor to one Gary Coleman, (who has been released from jail I am told).
Me, I just want to continue to live honestly. And deliver the best marketing I can to the people. And deliver top Google results to my Bonacure Michigan and Kawasaki clients.

In the last 18 months I have been labled everything under the sun. But alas, dear ones, I have come back and resurfaced with some powerful results. I am pleased as punch to announce that I have been knocking out 9 out of 10 top results in just about every category I play in.
This has never been more true than in the medical category.....
GOOGLE KICKS OUT ITS ADORING PPC CUSTOMERS
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this one. Google is literally taking away PPC accounts from people with little or no reason. Matt Bacak wrote me this heart wrenching email recently asking for.... help I think... You know. I sort of lost interest halfway through reading it so I cannot account for what the rest of his email said.....
I am certainly not sending him money. He's not Unicef for crying out loud. He's a farbezner, looking for his next buck like the rest of us.
Hardly a charity case.

Ted Cantu SEO - A Hack With Heart
HERES THE NEWS OF THE WEEK!
Yes, its true. I am back on the scene and kicking ass in the search engine world. I just wrapped up a seminar series at WCCC in Detroit, Michigan. We hope to have the videos ready to view on YouTube.Com.
Now, for the funny stuff....
I was labled a "Hack" recently on the web. This is funny to me for several reasons. First of all, I have 11,000 links on any given bad day. If you want to have some serious fun check out my links at 4 AM when the search engine hubs are quiet and that number is a little closer to 40,000+.
Ive outraged the Automotive Industry, been threatened physically and verbally and one client offered to sue me - even after I told this lazy bastard what to do with his web site and campaign... He chose not to do the successful things to make himself popular..... I find that hilarious. Then.... he somehow encouraged his colleagues and industry to hate him equally online!... Amazing.
I didn't have to do a thing!
Success is a choice, its an option. If you are not going to do the things to make yourself successful don't come sniveling to me. I have zero sympathy for you or your whiney company.
But to be called a Hack... is quite hilarious.
By the way this site only has about a few hundred links to it.....Im well over 40,000 so do keep that one in mind. One of us is obviously doing something right.
Also this week. After being thrown out of a Dan Kennedy Meeting for God knows what. Michigan NO BS Ringleader, Derek Freund invites me back with an email?
We had to kindly say -- F.U.
Too busy for bullshit thank you. That line is over there -- this is TED CANTU SEO, A TRUE DETROIT ORIGINAL.
On the Dan Kennedy side of things this week took a weird turn. I just picked up 2 ex Dan Kennedy IBA owners to work for me. GET THAT ONE. Life is sure strange. Interesting at times. But definately strange.
I NEVER STOP TELLING THE TRUTH FOLKS
This week I spoke to a standing room only crowd at WCCC in Detroit and it went fantastic. I got to tell you that these people really do care about making a difference, making money and making their city a much better place. I have nothing but good things to say about these people. Always will do.
I spoke for over an hour about how to transform businesses for the people in the audience. I took on the whole crowd with no script in mind. Keep in mind that we were talking about making money. Not making debt. There is a difference. We were discussing the fine points of making cash - not through an MLM group, not through a revolting cycle of bartering. But cold simple cash.
I will be back as I was invited, (not thrown out like in the Dan Kennedy Michigan Group for not following their practices etc.) we do our own thing. We create our own results. We create our own way.
A funny thing about those Kennedy cretins. You give them a lot of dough and they treat you like Jesus Christ. You leave that group amicably and they crucify you behind your back. I wouldnt give those sods penny one in the future.
And I mean that, from the heart.
That being said -- We are going to continue to create epic history for our city and have taken the liberty to expand ten fold. You can find us in California these days, Chicago and we opened up in the heart of New York City in my old favourite neighborhood of Times Square, NYC.
Also in the works, I have striked up a deal with the Motor City Rock and Roll Legends, THE RUINERS for a special segment on Hot Metro Finds.
More to come --
