Fuck I hate all the music and sound effects used in American reality shows to add drama. Dragons Den is a class act...
 
Aha, gotta love the whole "I was burned by 1000 'seo gurus' before" attitude. Those pieces of shit are what make being in this business so hard today.

The pitch was shockingly bad though. "It cost nothing" to rank is a crock of shit. Even if he spent $0 paying for stuff, he still invested his time, which itself has a value. Not that I really believe he's not spent anything on marketing, anyway..

Well technically he is correct even if he is being misleading.

Although I'd imagine a keyword like that has pretty little competition compared to what most of us are trying to rank for. Depending on when this was produced he probably could've spent $30 on social, $50 on ALN, got his funding and laughed his way to the bank before his rankings dropped.
 
LOOOOL. I like the part where he was talking about "the largest social network" and about bicycles hahaha.

This guy really knows what he is doing though and Cuban was the only one that knew it. Cuban played it like a pro by letting everybody get out before even said a word. That was awesome.

Btw, the guy gave away his domain and keywords he is ranking for in the video. He is still ranking. He knows what he is doing... do your homework and learn from it.

I sense a negative seo case study...
 
Haha good show, hadn't heard of it before. Downloading some of the episodes from Demonoid now.

and lol at barbara corcoran
 
Why did he ignore Kevin O'Leary's 25% stake offer and take Cuban's 30% stake offer?

Nothing new there. High PR links, both sitewide and on individual high-PR pages. Many are from relevant sites but I see a footer link from a poker site.

With a foundation of so many high PR links though I expect the result would be failure (to penalize the site).
 
I would refuse the 25% deal just like him because, look at who your getting the money from. Would you want to do business with a dude that doesn't get it?

But yeah, his pitch sucked. He talked in way too much tech and didn't talk in the audience's language.

He also used too much data and numbers.

This... Dragon's Den is ace. Why do the US networks have to go so OTT, with that stupid voiceover? And those effects are distracting.

I know a couple of people who've been on Dragon's Den... one got investment, someone else just did it for the exposure. Both were pretty happy, and said the dragons were nowhere near as mean as they seem on TV.
 
Shark tank is a great show, but it's awful to watch people grovel in front of a bunch of self-important assholes for small sums of money. 1st round financing for new companies is traditionally a friends and family affair, and if you can't talk those people into taking a shot with you, you really have no business trying to pitch anyone else.

The guy was selling online and chose Cuban instead. I'd pick Cuban out of the 5 either and this is why
