I thought Jason Calacanis hates SEO. But now, it seems that Jason Calacanis is now a SEO gaming the SEO through the Calacanis Link Bait program. Below is the requirements for the Calacanis Link Bait.
- Write a short Bio of him.
- My Comment: Jason Calacanis want to expand his popularity. His already popular but wanted to become more popular than he is now.
- Start the post by praising him.
- My Comment: So he don’t want to be called bull
. So, if you want the link from Calacanis blog, praise him even if you hate him.
- My Comment: So he don’t want to be called bull
- Mention his old post and link to them.

- Attack Jason’s enemies.

Hi thanks for linking to me. I would just like to say, if you read what I said carefully it was debatable that he would link back as I didn’t meet his requirements.
The post I wrote was just about what he did, it was to me and as I said genius move and I wanted my readers to genuinely go to his site and read what he did, the community reaction and what kind of impact this had his position relative to his peers.
Thanks for playing the game and I hope more of this level of tactical blog warfare happens in the future as its more fun.
As an aside could you do me a favour and link to my site as either ‘technological winter’ or ‘techwinter’. I am trying to figure out where you got ‘roger winter’ from. Is it written somewhere? Sorry its just important regarding my sites searchability.
PS. Nice blog by the way, lots of interesting stuff and I like how you have related posts and recently commented at the bottom together as I find lots of people are curious about posts being commented on and it keeps them on your site.

Yeah my name is Roger so you got it right, but as I said its an SEO thing. Not that it matters now but had you said Roger Kondrat I would have accepted that too as both are brands of mine obviously one is my personal and the other my business website.
Its so wierd to have this conversation but a guy has to keep his search results clean right? I imagine that is why you use selaplana.
I often advise to companies not to use standard ‘english’ words in their company Name, that they do some modification or create a totally new word as it makes finding them over the web easier. I always get a funny look but hey thats life with the web right?
Cheers
