2009-04-25T22:53:00.000-07:00

2007-01-06T03:33:00.000-08:00

I have a cpayscom2 and cpayscom2 online casino is his name-o. Cpayscom2, online, casino, cpayscom2, online casino, cpayscom2 online casino and cpayscom2 online casino is his name-o. Cpayscom2 was a cpayscom2 online casino if you ever did see a cpayscom2 online casino, this online casino was no ordinary cpayscom2.

One cpayscom2, two online casino, three cpayscom2 online casino, four. Im trying to write a blog and cpayscom2 online casino slammed the door. So i grabbed cpayscom2 online casino by the hair and dragged that wretched cpayscom2 to the online casino to get my money. Then in an instant cpayscom2 online casino vanished, leaving me without my cpayscom2 to play in the online casino.

I dont know how much more cpayscom2 is left in the online casino, thank god there will be no more cpayscom2 online casino after february. Cpayscom2 online casino hates me.

The web eater: zta.net, ate my cpayscom2 online casino

2007-01-02T01:03:00.000-08:00

Strange title, true story. Now obviously if you read my last post about getting hijacked in the search engines, you would think the next post would be something more cpayscom2 or online casino related. Clearly in a normal setting that would be what im doing, but unfortunatley my cpayscom2 online casino was eaten by zta.net and due to the fact that this "website" has swallowed this blog with probably half of the internet by now really starts to urinate meHoff. <--- thats piss me off for all you puzzle solvers

Now if you dont know by now, i dont know if you will, or even if it will be around after today, but the fact is the web eater has been around for some time now and its eating all of the sites on the internet and whats looks to be like regurgitating them out with their links linking to their own domains. Basically im going to refer to zta.net from now on as the "web eater". When i first came across the web eater i was doing some research on my backlinks, when i discovered another url possing as mine, with my exact website in place. Picture my normal url --> www.myurl.com and now my url after it was eaten --> www.myurl.com.zta.net. Usually scraper sites dont last long in the SE's for duplicate content obviously but for some reason this one lasts long enough to get indexed.

Now immediatley i thought it was a site like i suggested in my last post which is called a scraper site. But this time it wasnt, usually scraper sites are know to scrape the internet for information, basically reading all of your sites info and copying it into a new page on another domain. But after further looking in to, i noticed it was operating as some sort of Chinese proxy service. After further investigation i found out who the owner of the site was and called him on the phone at 4:15 AM (completely uncalled for yes, but completely warranted). After speaking with a man with a strong asian accent, who continually tried to bullsh!t me and talk around the bush i had enough of screaming in his ear for a half hour and hung up.

In the middle of screaming calling this guy a "cpayscom2 online casino" and catching my breath i actually did speak on a normal level with this "man" if you want to call him that. He asked what my domains were so he could fix it, instead i told him to take them all down, to this he repied he cannot do it. This Fin son of a b, has the nerve to fix the mess up if you contact him but will continue to do what hes doing, which is basically steal from every site he scraped. Steal content, search listings all to draw back to his supposed proxy service. What a F'in class act.

Thats not even the worst part, normally with scraper sites they have to store the info the collect in a database. For some reason this thing or script doesnt seem to have one, and another exact same site is actually eating the web eater, so the web eater is getting eaten by another web eater, which means the internet is getting swallowed chewd up and swallowed and chewd up. Sounds weird yes i know, but you can try to see if your website has been eaten by typing into the browser --> http://www.yoururl.com.zta.net

I dont know what the hell's goin on around here but i have the feeling cpayscom2 isnt in the online casino anymore. And if cpayscom2 was in the online casino he should stay there so he doesnt get eaten. Now i dont know whats going on here but its weird, im sure you could do your own investigating and find out what maybe this thing is.

On the other hand i could be going crazy, like cpayscom2 and wind up in an online casino somewhere in the middle of the dessert, with only a speedo on. Hmmm, cpayscom2

What do you do if your search engine listings get Hijacked?

2006-12-30T20:59:00.000-08:00

This is something i never really talked about but relevant to seo and search engine optimization. It deals with a common answer to a question you may some day need the answer to or you may already have or someday will find yourself in this situation, as a websmaster or website owner or anyone that published something on the web.

You wake up one morning, do your usual routine and you happen to notice that your website's url has changed in the search listings. Curious, you click the link which seems to be your websites exact title, description and for some reason a different url, and the link you click take you to something that looks like your website, but chopped up or completely the same with your exact meta tags on the page. Your search listing no longer takes you to your site but takes you to some other site, so what now?

Well an initial reaction would be to panic, why? Well because your search listings have just been stolen, when this first happen to me i had thought that my url had been hijacked, but after going to my site and seeing it intact, i soon realized someone had copied my exact page, and their page upon being indexed wiped my page out of the search engines index. So now what do you do?

Well theres a couple of things you can try to do. You can contact the search engine and notify them about the situation. They seem to get the situation straightened out very fast if you contact them. You can also contact the owner of the website, sometimes chances are someone made a mistake, while copying an article for example, and they accidently use your meta info. In this case you can contact them and if it was a mistake you can be sure they will remove the page. Other times its done completely intentional.

When its done intentionally, to tell you the truth it just pisses me off. People put alot of work into things they do and some people could care less, for greed or what have you. For example, a seasoned webmaster will usually know the top 10 websites listed in their favorite search engine for their sites main search term. Now if they have been their for years, and all of a sudden they see a new website potentially taking their traffic, because they have a better product or just feel threatened im sure more often then not someone does something to knock a site back down, even if its only temporary.

Now i could be completely wrong, but to tell you the truth, there isnt anything stopping anyone from doing it. So i know i havent done it, but im wondering how many people, and companies have done stuff like that to their competition. Because really if they cant prove they did it, then they really cant go around saying so and so did this. Corruption on the web is something i think is neglected, there is still no one to watch over everything, and there cant be either because their is just to many to watch and its ever increasing.

The webs changed alot since the days it was considered the wild west, but in many ways the pure nature of the web is to continue in that state, in many aspects it still is the wild west, its just not as wild as it was 10 years ago. There continues to be new booms such as myspace and youtube and an ever increasing internet audience. As more competition floods the various markets it opens up a stronger need for improvement on current and future product, customer service and usability. More competition means less potential new sales in the short run, mainly because of the stiff competition, but in the long run those that continue improving their product through innovation and most of all common sense will ultimatley be the ones that capture the majority of a market and thrive.

Getting your url hijacked or search engine listed hijacked sucks. It happens, but before you over react, just relax and think it through logically. This is a situation that you can get taken care off, if it does happen to you. It could be months before your listings come back, but eventually they will, and other than thats theres nothing you can really do about it, but wait.

Cpayscom2 online casino and other unorthodox advertising techniques

2006-12-27T00:44:00.000-08:00

Cpayscom2 online casino is a seo contest which happens to turn out to be a very effective and unorthodox advertising technique. Other weird advertising tactics include purchasing things that the media swarms to like when goldenpalace bought the virgin mary toast, i mean that was pretty rediculous...no? When tenthousandblocks offered ad space on a broken toaster which seems to be a small precurser of thing to follow such as Bidmyspace.com, where you can advertise all over this guys house.

New and unique advertising and marketing methods are coming into play all the time and best ones are the ones that make you laugh, because then you remember them and tell people. Even commercial advertising on tv, lately the past few years the commercials are turning into little comedy bits and mini sitcoms.

It's funny what people will do for a buck.

Just look at me blogging about this stupid cpayscom2 online casino crap.

SEO, pixels and the never ending need for a plug

2006-12-24T04:44:00.000-08:00

2006 comes to close within a week, with that said Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to all. In the begining of 06 it was all pixels and pixel ads too, as that has much cooled down now the seo contests are still running stong and overall tripled the amount than of the previous year. The outlook for seo contests in 2007 is good, while pixels not so good. The first contest i entered was "the four required words" seo contest in which i did well in yahoo, also used pixel ads. I think i might bring the pixel ad trick back for the SEO world championship and sandbox the site for the first 2 and half months. Nah, who know, will have to register a new domain name though, now about the time for a plug. Cpayscom2 online casino is king of all cpayscom2's and there is alot of those online casino's around.

I remember back in the pixel hottness a site i once blogged about PixelBannerSwap.com, this in my opinion is where pixel ads are headed. You can target the pixel ads, put a pixel banner on your site or blog like the one on top of here. You could even buy your own banner and sell pixels from it and manage it, pixel banner swap takes care of hosting the pixel banner. Its a good concept around the fact that a pixel ad grid is better as a small accessory on a niche website than as itself a nich website. If the content is already there and the traffic and people are going to the site than it really cant hurt to put a small banner of targeted ads on your site which you could profit from, or gain more traffic from or what have you. See, the main problem with pixel websites built for that sole purpose is that there is nothing that draws attention in, or if it is, than it need to be created and still after a while traffic slowly dips to its steady point and unless your the million dollar homepage or tenthousandblocks.com (haha)(yeah..um..ok) you have to do silly things which sometimes are fun. Point being PixelBannerSwap.com has alot to offer if you have a few extra minutes of your time and a small open space on your website. Oh yeah and the pixels are free. The site also changed ownership and is undergoing some retooling and should be ready for full action soon.

Other than that have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and Cpayscom2 online casino like you cant cpayscom2 online casino no mo. Poker supply has poker supplies

2006-12-16T21:29:00.000-08:00

Pixelotto is good but it could be better

2006-12-13T11:16:00.000-08:00

The ideas and concepts behind Pixelotto.com are better than the Million dollar Homepage this it true, but are they good enough? The site Pixelotto.com is already bringing up a ton of questions of whether or not its actually worth advertising there. Depending on who you talk to your answer will vary greatly from what i have been reading on other blog posts.

All this talk of conversion rates and garbage traffic has me thinking of the kinds of marketers and advertisers that are out there and what they prefer to do. Mainly i have seen 2 types of marketers, some only want highly targeted traffic, that converts like mad, these types would rather have 25 visitors a month and 10 sales than 1,000 visitors a month and 12 sales. They would say to you...yeah you got more sales but my conversion rate is better, so you suck. They are simply married to a conversion rate. The other type like me, will just fire all types of traffic at a site, having both highly targeted traffic and less convention advertising like pixel ads say, or traffic exchanges. Knowing alot of the traffic will in fact wash off, but also knowing that some of that traffic will in fact stick and lead to sales. I know this because i have done it, to me sales are sales and clicks are clicks. The more places you can access me site from the better is how i feel.

Thats basically one of the reasons i chose to advertise on Pixelotto, i mean do you think i dont know that some of that traffic will wash off, of course i do. But the difference is that i dont care and i expect if some washes off...good, better to have washed off than to never have been there at all. So thats my take on traffic conversion, id rather be updating a site than looking at numbers, you can that for the birds.

Now back to Pixelotto, i think with all the time Alex had to plan it, it should have been better. Also where is this eBook he spoke of that he was supposedly making? I guess that just went out the window, but anyway with all of the ideas that the original homepage sparked youd think he might have looked into more of the copycat sites to come up with his next one, or maybe he did, i dont know.

Couple of things i think could have been added to his site Pixelotto to make it better:

1. An affiliate program - you have all these advertisers and marketers advertising on your site, why not have an affiliate program for them so it could drive in more traffic and advertisers. Or something more for advertisers as they are not in the running for $1,000,000. Shit a free gift anything..thats a lot of money at $200 a block there buddy. Maybe weekly prizes would have been better to sustain traffic.

2. More of an incentive to advertisers than blind clicks, i think the page needs to find a way to target the ads someway effectively.

3. More publicity: i only found it because i happen to goto the MillionDollar Homepage, if i hadnt went i wouldnt have known it exists.

Just my little input, but what do i know. I did buy an ad, and so far have noticed increased numbers accross the board, including revenue. The main age demographic im getting clicking on my ad is between the ages of 18 - 36, so far out of the clicks i have received about half came from players of the game and other half just from visitors on the homepage. So far its averaging about 15 - 20 clicks a day on 1 10x10 pixel ad. If that kep up for less than a year say 300 days that would be about 4500 - 6000 clicks for the year. If you were talking 10 cents a click that would cost $450 - 600 dollars if you were advertising through ppc like adwords, it would also be targeted. So that sounds about right, $200 for 4500 - 6000 untargeted visitors to your website versus $450 - $600 for targeted visitors from ppc for the year.

Seems like Alex is just selling traffic through pixels, because no one really wants the pixels they want the traffic. So what you would do now is track that traffic to figure out what converts better, then you could figure out how to get the most bang for your $. Of course thats just an example of a 1 block ad, bigger ads to lead to more traffic, remember i only have a 1 block ad, 100 pixels.

So after seeing it like that, i will be satisfied with my purchase and am so far, Alex has now $136,300 in the prize pool, which means he actually sold 2x that amount. Im gonna buy more, just waiting a week. Well see.

Thats all for now, if i forgot anything i wanted to say i will say it later. Oh yeah i almost forgot, if you have read this thanks, you can get $20 in free clicks from bidvertiser simply visit tenthousandblocks.com/bonus.php and follow the link.

Pixelotto at Pixelotto.com

2006-12-09T08:15:00.000-08:00

The Pixels are back! As you may or may not remember this blog was basically birthed from the pixel ad idea that Alex Tew started. "the four required words" blog was a seo contest entry in "the four required words" seo contest held by Milliondollarscreenshot.com. By that time all of Alex's pixels had well been sold and I did not have a chance to get any for Tenthousandblocks.com, and i would have like to have at least 1 block...but oh well.

Well Alex Tew creator of the original Milliondollarhomepage.com has come out with a new pixel ad site in which he will be giving away $1,000,000 a million dollars, Pixelotto.com. You can sign up to visit the sites for entries into Pixelotto. When all of the pixels are sold a lucky winner will receive $1,000,000 one million dollars.

That means guaranteed traffic for advertisers, and with contestants only allowed to click 10 sites a day (which they can do in a very short period of time). And after checking to see how many entries they have gathered im sure more than a few have went back to the homepage to look and click some more pixel ads.

Now some are saying this is not converting traffic, in a way its true, but the same is true with all types of traffic. There is always a % of non converting traffic in any form of advertising you do. So that the non converting part are presumably when a Pixelotto.com contestant clicks your ad and continues to another ad. But what if they actually like your ad and will go back to it later? There is no software program to track human behavior in that fashion so you cant say that the traffic is bad or non converting, when in fact you dont really know what people are doing only assuming. I am currently ineligable to win a prize because i am an advertiser, but that didnt stop my from viewing the page and clicking on about 50 ads. Some of which i have actually bookmarked, because companies design specials for Pixelotto visitors, so thats a bonus.

So, i had to see for myself and got in early at Pixelotto. 1 block bought so for for the first round. There is going to be multiple rounds maybe, which can be costly to an advertiser at $200 a block per round. So if you would like to get in cheap, you can get you pixel ad on Tenthousandblocks.com for the next few years and possibly few rounds of Pixelotto.

Overall, Pixelotto is a much better idea and concept which directly gets the visitors involved with the website in a unique way by giving away something everyone seems to want right now $1,000,000 one million dollars. Pixelotto.com builds directly off where the Milliondollarhomepage.com left off. Even if all the pixels dont sell, the year of clicks will be well worth it.

Like always, time will tell. See if you can find the T on Pixelotto that we used for our pixel ad. The exact pixel ad we used is mentioned on the blog at Tenthousandblocks.com/news.php with a picture to help you out if you need it.

The Pixelotto prize fund is now up to $130,400. Goto Pixelotto.com

how "the four required words" became retsambew dash klat for charity

2006-05-15T23:41:00.000-07:00

I started out with "the four required words" and wound up with retsambew dash klat for charity, haha. Sounds kinda like a bad case of the flu. Anyway a secondary objective with "the four required words" blog was to test pixel ad seo. What i have noticed is that pixel ads do help in seo if the ad counts as a backlink. So advertising on pixel sites that count as a back link will help. How much? I really cant say but it is of my opinion that it would be beneficial but not only in seo but also for just advertising to get visitors.

Like with any advertising you might not sell something on the first visit but if you offer something that interests the visitor that visitor could bookmark your page and return later and very possibly buy something or join your program or whatever. For example if joe schmoe is here looking for information on seo contests but in the back of his mind is also looking for a new web hosting provider, and he sees an ad for web hosting, he could visit and then bookmark the page for when hes ready to purchase hosting. On the same note say his wife told him to buy a gift for someone, and if he saw an ad for candles he might visit that site because he needs a gift. Now this isnt going to be true everytime but it very well could and does happen. The reason i advertise with pixel ads myself is for extra exposure and traffic to my site. Just like any other form of advertising, if you offer a product but no one sees it than your guaranteed not to sell any. But putting your product in view has a better chance of generating sales. Some people are concerned with targeted traffic only, and i dont agree with this. Peoples interests change all the time and they definatley have more than 1 interest, i mean the same person looking to earn money online is also interested in clothes, gifts, and other things because sometimes people buy clothes and sometimes they need to buy a gift. My point here is dont sell something short, especially if its free advertising for your website.

The reason for the little tidbit is this, pixel ads and the entire concept is very versatile. And thats why "the four required words" became retsambew dash klat for charity. To show versatility, and the positve effects of both seo contests and pixel ads. The concept of the retsambew dash klat for charity contest is simple, in order to qualify for a prize you have to link to a charity from give.org. Give.org lists charities and non-profit organizations to help people. And the retsambew dash klat for charity seo contest is driving people to those organizations, which will drive traffic, hopefully donations and awarness of those charities.

Now where does pixel ads to in to play in all of this? Well pixel ads can be used for many things, like making money, generating traffic, helping in seo, and now as im about to show you they can be used for fundraisers for charities and non-profits. I really think this a great idea, and i made a donation of what i could afford, wasnt much cause im broke.

PixelsforChange.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting other non-profit organizations by helping them to raise both funds and awarness by providing and managing pixel ad pages. This is a great idea, in addition to having regular fundraisers now online fundraisers creates another income stream that all charities and non-profits need.

The first site i have been lucky enough to see do this is HurricaneChoir.com. A non-profit whos mission is to join together as many voices as they can from the communities of southern Louisiana who were devastated by last summers hurricanes. Through coming together to sing, they will raise funds for Volunteers of America, build social networks, raise awareness of singing as an instrument for healing, and conduct a world first research project to measure the effects of choral singing on mental health. One of the ways they are raising funds if for people to purchase pixels and
be added to their collage of supporters. Their pixel page is http://www.hurricanechoir.com/pixel/ and was built and being maintained by PixelsforChange.org.

Like any website an extra income stream is always great to have and thats what we all look for, and really who could use it more than a non-profit doing a good thing to help people. So thats why "the four required words" became retsambew dash klat for charity, to show our support in charities and help them get educated about a new option for them to generate funds.

The moral of this story is dont knock it until you try it, and show support to a charity and non-profit because they all need our help.

retsambew dash klat for charity contest update

2006-06-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since the last post, some things were changed like the title, description and stuff to help in the retsambew dash klat for charity contest. I wanted to give the se's a chance to "catch up" to the changes. So heres the lastest update, theres about 45,000 results right now and thats down from like 70,000 last week. I dont know whats going on if contestants are holding back, or google is just sifting through the crap really fast. To me it seems pretty competitive for the sites competing so far so im not sure, but it looks like the quality control went up a little bit.

So far this blog is on the 3rd page retsambew dash klat for charity, still alot of time in the contest yet, but i thought there would have been more results by now so this thing seems basically wide open.

Other than that there is some free ad space available for anyone who isnt lazy. And if you want some ...you know what to do.

In four days the four words will no longer be required

2006-05-11T22:18:00.000-07:00

Thats it four days left in "the four required words" seo contest. So i made have made a silly little mistake, i changed the title a few days ago and took out a "the" and put in a how i already noticed MSN and Google both catching the change but Yahoo hasnt yet and thats what im afraid of. I did change it back to the-four-required-words instead of four-required-words and left the How in there. The reason this worries me is until now i didn't see "the four required words" blog as number 1 in Yahoo, although on the toplist page it was 1 for a week or two, so im hoping Yahoo doesnt update it because i really dont want to lose the #1 spot in Yahoo for a silly mistake.

Although i would have really liked the #1 spot in Google for the icon on The Million Dollar ScreenShot, not even the money just the icon. Arg, anyway "the four required words" blog is #1 in Yahoo, four in Goggle, and like four teenth in MSN. Take a guess whos my least favorite search engine right now, LOL. Any way im not sure if im going to make a post again until May 15th, and just pray and ride these four days out. The amount of results is changing almost daily fluctuating up and down a little, the only real difference was when MSN dropped like 200,000 results. Out went "the four required words" and thats why i changed the title and added the How. Any how, we just have to see what happens. Man im sweating.

2006-05-08T13:55:00.000-07:00

Well the clown hats are out, and they are stealing my content! Gotta love theives, so this clown hat steals my content and creates a blog then links back to his contest page, COOL! I wonder why the current first place competitor in Google would do this? I dont even want to name his url so i wont. 2 can play at this game, but i wont waste my time.

Besides that everything is going great, "the four required words" blog vanished off of MSN, stayed the same in google and dropped to the second page in Yahoo. What a great weekend, LMAO. Anyway "the four required words" contest is ending in a week and ill do another results report in a few soon.

Search results for "the four required words"

2006-05-04T13:36:00.000-07:00

Every so often i check out the search results for "the four required words", naturally as i want to see where i stand in the rankings and also where others stand as well as see the quality of their content compared to mine. Needless to say i dont think content and how many words you stuff on your page plays a significant role in where you will stand in the search engine rankings. If it did than "the four required words" blog would be listed first. I just havent seen anyone with the amount of content pertaining to "the four required words" as this blog holds. What i have seen is alot of pages linking to one central contest page. These links come in from old established websites with good backlinks itself, doorway pages from free services like free blog hosts, and alot of free website hosts, and little networks that were built by the seo'er. These little networks can include directories, forums, blogs and linking to eachother and one central contest page. Now the best information for "the four required words" maybe the 5th search engine result down, but the only way you would know it would be to goto the first 4 result pages. This is something people often do when they are looking for anything or researching anything. People are always looking for the best information and often times the best information or what they are looking for isnt within the first few results. The reason for this is competition over the keyword phrase, in this instance its "the four required words", but it can be anything and the same thing applies to everything when your trying to get listed better for specific keywords.

What i tried to do with "the four required words" blog is not to build a little network or have 10 doorway pages to increase backlinks but to have just one page with good content or at least better than whats out their, and to get incoming links but not by creating a bunch of different keyword rich pages for free and linking to my blog. That method while is does to seem to be working will be more short term than long term, and i think the goal is to have your site or blog listed as high as possible for as long as possible. These methods will be weeded out and eventually dropped, and you shouldnt consider using them if your goal is long term. Seeing as how "the four required words" seo contest is short term, and most seo contest run for 1 year max, it might be a good method to use. But not for an e-commerce store whos goal is more long term, and i mean i havent met anyone who just wanted to stay in business for a year, and your approach to search engines should be similar.

"The four required words" blog however will be going and be up for a while after the seo contest finishes. And will carry into the next seo contest i enter, not as a competitor but as a backlink to my competition page. I feel this will be more of a quality relevant link than it would be to just throw up a few doorway pages, and all the time spent on this blog shouldnt and wont be wasted.

It basically comes down to how much you are willing to work and how much others are willing to out work you.

I Cant think of a title that contains "the four required words" in quotes

2006-04-25T09:31:00.000-07:00

"The Four Required Words", what four words could the title be that are required. To start we would have to look at previous words required and what they will require and they must require four words.

Here is some of the things that should include top four (4) required words. Although in order to include "the four required words" we will first have to find out what four words are required. Now normally any four words will do, but "the four required words" will have to be the phrase the four required words and it needs to include quotes.

The 1st word - The - is obviously the first required word and it follow the begining quotes
The 2nd word - Four - is the second word required following the first word
The 3rd word - Required - is really required because it is the third required word
The fourth word - Words - brings the phrase all together and is the fourth word

When putting all of the four required words together it would look something like this:
the four required words

but we have forgotten to put the quotes around the four words. When done correctly the four word phrase should look like this: "the four required words" - and is the correct way

An incorrect way would be like the example shown here below:
"the", "four", "required", "words"
As there really isnt any reason to include quotes around all of the four required words, just in the beginning and end of the phrase "the four required words" .

Take any four (4) required words for example such as:

"wow im an idiot" - these four words are important because if you are reading this you probably think "boy what an idiot" and although its not required it may as well be true
"who farted it stinks" - well again this isnt required but i just farted four times and burnt the words off my keyboard not to mention ripped four holes
"wet farts smell great" - this is not true, most of the time you do four wet farts and your underwear will be required to be changed, cleaning is easy with a newspaper without any words
"i need a job" - and believe me using four words that have no required value wont get it done and wont get me one either

So now you should have a better understanding of "the four required words" but if you still arent sure i have written a poem to make you understand these four required words better. I dont think it rhymes or makes any sense but the point is to use four words required, who cares if it doesnt make sense. Heres the poem i hope you will enjoy it.

"the four required words", four
the required four words, required
the words FOUR and words REQUIRED smell like feet and make me tired.

Now for a little question and answers according to the four required words and its titled:
Q and A with me and "the four required words" blog.

Q. "the four required words" - is that some kind of hipster lingo?
A. Yes. "the four required words" is a new cool sland term for please kick me in the face.

Q. If the four words required arent used who will use them?
A. Honestly i dont know how to answer that question, it doesnt make sense and it sounds uneducated. If you want to know who will use the four required words go ask someone yourself.

Q. Have you always been a clown hat or just recently when this four required words mess started?
A. As far back as i can remember and i think i was 4 at the time, no maybe four, the aliens on planet balloon knot only let me learn the four required words that made up their language. I really can remember anything before i was four or 4 about the required four words.

Q. Seriously, come on, what kind of Q and A is this?
A. Its "the four required words" Q and A....DUH

Q. Ok last question, none of this post really made any sense. Some of the stuff about "the four required words" is outright ludacris, how do you respond to that?

A. Its not for "the four required words" to know.

How "the four required words" started. It all started one late Monday afternoon when Helen shouted out, "the four required words" are here at last! "The four required words", what is that asked Johnny? Then helen said shhh, you cant tell anyone its a secret, do you want to know what "the four required words" are. Johnnny said, "the four required words" heck no that sounds weird.

If "the four required words" seo contest is four required words that need to be listed, there is only four words that are required to use.

And i quote, "the four required words" when i say "the four required words".
