Internet Marketing Strategies Before (Link Building) and After (Traffic Building)

This post was inspired by Jerry West.

 

I used to love those cheesy before and after pictures you would find in advertisements for fitness or weight-loss products.

Here's a recent one of Arnold.

I don't mean to be cruel, but it looks like age is catching up to The Terminator.

Do You Submit Your Own Content on StumbleUpon?

Have you ever been flamed on StumbleUpon for submitting your own content?

 Or how about receiving death threats like Marty Weintraub for posting on a seach marketing blog about how much he loves StumbleUpon?

Or, do you write about it on your blog, risking that is is off-topic, too personal, and nobody wants to hear about it?
