Surely this is some link bait as an SEO play?

A company that says "Tinloof is a technical SEO agency that conducts audits, and implements the necessary optimizations on websites and ecommerces to rank higher on Google and other SERPs" and puts out this content would be shooting itself in the foot reputationally otherwise?

Surely....!?


The thing is, not all web development agency's are going to be, good at "SEO" and have it as part of their door service, trying the services of another agency is probably a good idea.

The $62k is an investment in learning how not to do it. They are clearly a very capable agency, and now have some experience they can help advise their customers based on.

So there is the cynical side that says "this post is just SEO", but good SEO isn't "SEO", it's creating good content that users find useful and gain backlinks organically. That's what this post is.

Personally I believe almost anyone that is selling only SEO services are probably using bad tricks and are a very pore investment. SEO is only a tiny fragment of good online marketing, you need a congestive strategy and that will involve many parts of your business. You can't get outsiders to write good marketing content.


Nice plot twist ... they were scammed by themselves.


They should have named names.


That's dangerous because it can be considered libel; the SEO company did their job and can show results, but even if it didn't, I'm pretty sure libel laws protect companies even if they're not doing a good job.


Truth is always a defence to allegations of defamation.


Good catch. And don't call me Shirley.


Do you pay for the news you rewrite?

If not, if this is the future, how is it sustainable? The original sources are required for this to be a thing.

Strange way to make the film available then not at various times considering the subject matter.


Went digging through the wayback machine to find it and its available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230117024804/https://www.ahist...

which leads to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16ATMkf7SAwwjePZZZb0mFrFX5rM...


Festivals quite often want films to be "exclusive", so maybe it's to do with that.


Yes, but at least “From summer 2023 onwards, it will be permanently downloadable from this site.”

Web and app back up - but currently all links posted return that error onclick / tap.


Reach PLC network bait makes HN frontpage?! Amazing!


I am able to buy, but not able to sell.

eBay say I am connected to a dodgy account that was last active years ago. I am not connected to it - but must be some IP match or fingerprint from shared office or the like.

Zero ability to feedback or get anywhere from eBay.

The logic is rubbish as well, I am dodgy so stop me from selling... but fine to buy?! How?!

eBay - sort your shit out.


old man shouts at cloud


Really old man it seems. He says “those of us who grew up in an age before the absurd legal fiction of Corporate Personhood” which puts him at well over 180 years old in the US.


Yeah, that part really threw me. It really made it seem the author had no idea what the concept of corporate personhood meant.


*she


Ok, that made me laugh. Well done.


Yeah, if I were NYTimes, I would pay a kill fee for that op-ed too :). Doesn't matter if there's valid source ideas, its writing is so poor and voice so immature.


I'm in my early 40s myself, so a gen X-er as they define it, but I'd say it's not only "old man shouts at clouds" thing, as I've stumbled upon lots of people whom I supposed were younger than me (and I suppose part of the gen Z age-cohort) and who were against this entire consoome mindset. I'd say it's the millennials who were the most affected by it (one of the many similarities between the millennial and the boomer age-cohort).
