Here are PPC Villain, we would like to take a moment and reflect on the passing of one of the greatest search engine optimization scams: Yahoo Search Submit. Creating and building up a search engine with a decent following (great international following according to one of the questions in the now defunct Yahoo Search Ambassador exam) and then charging companies and people to be “expedited” into the organic search results is brilliant. Charging just enough for the unsuspecting user to go “oh I need this, it’s only $50 anyway” and then pocketing the cash for what the user could have done for free. Like go to Yahoo’s site submittal portal. Hats off to Yahoo for running this scheme for years and jeers for closing it down just when things are getting hairy.
If anything you should have doubled the price! That’s what the PPC villain would have done.
